Taking my Finance Final in a couple hours. Was going over basic bond valuation to make sure I don't screw it up on WACC (although I probably will) and saw this problem:

11. An investment offers a 14 percent total return over the coming year. Bill Bernanke thinks the total real return on this investment will be only 9 percent. What does Bill believe the inflation rate will be over the next year?

Well if you're using a WACC for a bond valuation, you're definitely fricked.

Obviously, bizarro world twin.

No way does Ben see 5% inflation in the future.

Yeah. Just don't divide by it, we've all seen the gif. I got a plane to catch tomorrow night so I'd prefer if every one avoided this for the time being. Appreciate the help.
