Answer to Question 1

When people borrow money, they pay a nominal interest rate to the lender. Inflation decreases the real buying power of the payments made to repay the loan. If the inflation rate is greater than the nominal interest rate, then the real interest rate is negative. In this case, the lender actually loses by lending money to the borrower because the quantity of goods and services the lender can buy with the proceeds of the loan has actually decreased.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
