Answer to Question 1

Nominal interest rates only indicate the amount of dollars that are paid or received as interest. Real interest rates indicate the amount of purchasing power paid or received as interest. Borrowers are more influenced by the purchasing power than they will sacrifice to borrow money; similarly savers are more influenced by the purchasing power they will receive for on their deposits.

True
