    The capital gain of the TIPS in dollars is $27.69

    Explanation:

    Given

    CPI = 200.5 (Beginning of the Year)

    CPI = 195.4 (End of the year)

    % = 2.75

    CPI Reference = 184.2

    CPI Reference of 184.2 = $1,000 rate

    Capital Gain is calculated by the difference in value at the end of the year value and at the beginning of the year.

    End of the year value = 200.5/184.2 * ($1000)

    End of the year value = $1088.49

    Beginning of the year value =

    = 195.4/184.2 * ($1,000)

    Beginning of the year value = $1060.80

    Capital Gain = $1,088.49 - $1,060.80

    Capital Gain = $27.69
