Question

r = (cbr + ima) - (cdr + em)
cbr = 6% ima = 5.5%
cdr = 7.5% em = 5%
what is r?
2%
-1%
1.5%

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute the values into the formula

We know that \( r=(CBR + IMA)-(CDR + EM) \), and \( CBR = 6\% \), \( IMA = 5.5\% \), \( CDR = 7.5\% \), \( EM = 5\% \). Substitute these values into the formula:
\( r=(6\% + 5.5\%)-(7.5\% + 5\%) \)

Step2: Calculate the sums inside the parentheses

First, calculate \( 6\%+5.5\% = 11.5\% \), and \( 7.5\% + 5\%=12.5\% \). Then the formula becomes:
\( r = 11.5\% - 12.5\% \)

Step3: Calculate the result

\( 11.5\% - 12.5\%=-1\% \)

Answer:

\(-1\%\)
