Answer: Japan has the higher real interest rate.

Explanation:

Japan:

Nominal interest rate = 5%

Inflation rate = 2%

Real interest rate = Nominal interest rate - Inflation rate

= 5 - 2

= 3%

United States:

Nominal interest rate = 7%

Inflation rate = 6%

Real interest rate = Nominal interest rate - Inflation rate

= 7 - 6

= 1%

∴ Japan has the higher real interest rate.
