Interest on capital.

Posted by Linden on August 28, 1998 at 21:48:18:

To L and T indexWhat was the percentage interest that would arise from capital?

When Mr Collins proposes to Lizzy he says that she has only 1000 pounds in the 4 per cents - ie 40 pounds per year.

I thought from something I've read (but which has totally slipped my memory so I can't look it up) that 5 percent was the normal annual rate.

While we're on the subject, would inflation be taken into account?
