• For each of the inputs and outputs, a set of projections
must be prepared in the path of its real price over the
life of the project.
• E.g. For items where rapid technological changes
(computers, smartphones), we would expect that the
real price of those goods would fall.

• P̂j : the estimated nominal price of good j in year t+1
• Ptj : nominal price of good j in year t
• gPtjR : the estimated growth in real price of good j
between year t and t+1
• gPeI : the assumed growth in price level index from
year t to year t+1

Inflation rate 8%
i = r + R + (1 + r + R)*gPe
= r + R + gPe + (r+R)*gPe
• r = 10%
• R = 0%
• g= 8%
• i = 10% + 8% + 10%*8% = 18.8%
C – Nominal exchange rate
The market exchange rate (EM) is the market rate of foreign
exchange between the domestic and the foreign currency,
which is expressed as the number of units of domestic
currency (#D) required to purchase one unit of foreign
exchange (F).
EM =(#D/F)t
EM = ER*(IDtn / IFtn) = ER*(1+gPDe)t/ (1+gPFe)t
Where: EM : The nominal exchange rate
ER : The real exchange rate
Idtn : The price index in year tn for the domestic currency country
IFtn : The price index in year tn for the foreign currency country
