Consider the decision of whether to hold wealth as money or as an interest-earning asset that pays a nominal rate of 6%. If you hold wealth as an interest-earning asset, you will have (1000/1060/1030/970) in wealth at the end of the year. If you hold the wealth as money, you will have (1000/1060/1030/970) in wealth at the end of the year. Holding wealth as an interest-earning asset therefore gives you (6%/ 3%) more purchasing power than you would have if you held the wealth as money. This illustrates that the relevant interest rate for calculating opportunity cost of holding wealth as money is the (real/nominal) interest rate. Now consider the decision of whether to spend your wealth today or hold it as an interest-earning asset to spend in a year. Again, assuming inflation is stable at 3%, the purchasing power of €1,000 held as an asset with a nominal rate of 6% will be (1000/1060/1030/970) in one year, compared to the (1000/1060/1030/970) in purchasing power you…

A home equity line of credit (HELOC) is, loosely speaking, like a credit card for your home. You can borrow money by drawing down on the line of credit. But, because the borrowed money is for the purpose of your home, the interest is tax-deductible meaning that you can deduct the interest paid on this money from your income to reduce your taxes. If the current annual interest rate on a HELOC is 3.85\%3.85% and your tax rate is 32\%32%, what is the after-tax interest rate you will pay on any borrowings under the HELOC?
