Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The real interest rate equals the nominal interest rate minus the inflation rate or, by rearranging, the nominal interest rate equals the real interest rate plus the inflation rate. This latter specification shows that when the inflation rate is positive, the nominal interest rate is greater than the real interest rate.
