HIGH-SHOW-UP-PROBABILITY-ISSUE: 2008 AM, Q1, Part D ii required, return

redskins44

required return calculation using FV, PV, PMT, and N.
why there is no inflation adjustment to I/Y ?
Compare also 2007 AM, Q1, Part A: Y/I + Inflation = nomimal

They add inflation because, in addtion to earning enough to pay the fixed mortgage, they want to maintain the real vaule of the portfolio.

I think it is FV not PMT which matters….?
because PMT is a fixed number anyway (like coupon), no matter real or nominal.

Thanks for you tips. This was my idea to, but if you compare with 2008 AM Q1 Part A.
the return was calculate as 55000/995000 = 5.53% + inflation = 9.53%
if the mortgage is fixed, why in A is inflation adjusted?
