Answer to Question 1

Real interest rates have been adjusted for inflation and are calculated as nominal interest rates minus the inflation rate. The higher the inflation rate, the lower the real rate of interest, so high nominal interest rates do not always mean high real interest rates. For example, if the nominal interest rate is 12 percent, and the inflation rate is 9 percent, the real interest rate is only 3 percent.

Answer to Question 2

E
