If our 100 grows to 150, but what we thought we could buy with 100 ends up costing 150 or worse, we we need our money to grow faster than the inflation
would it be the same calculating the real interest rate (using the inflation rate and the bank's interest,) and if i' isn't as high as the realMARR then he should decline the investment and if i' > realMARR, he should accept the investment?
some engineering professor at OSU gave away the secret because his OSU shirt was text backwards and not many people are lefthanded anyway. @@EngineeringEconomicsGuy
No, the little single quote after the i is not indicating a derivative like it does in math. It is just meant to distinguish between the current (or actual) interest rate, and the "real" interest rate, which has been corrected for inflation. The words and the symbols used for inflation can be confusing. Have a look at some of my other inflation videos to get a better understanding. Hope this helps!
You are doing a great job explaining the concept, even better than the textbook we use. Well done
Glad you think so! Thank you!
I am a Mech Eng student based in South Africa and this video has really helped me understand this topic. Thank you!
Great to hear!

Exactly right!
this was way too Good sir, it was very explanatory.
Thanks a lot!

Yes, you've got it!
@@EngineeringEconomicsGuy thank you
how can he write in reverse

is i' the rate of change?

i' is the "real" interest rate.
