Answer:

C. Real Interest Rate = 2% and Nominal Rate = 5%

Explanation:

Given

Nominal Interest Rate = 5%

Expected Inflation Rate = 3%

Required

The new nominal rate

The real interest rate

First; We'll need to calculate the real interest rate

Real\ Interest\ Rate = Nominal\ Interest\ Rate - Inflation\ Rate

Real\ Interest\ Rate = 5\% - 3\%

Real\ Interest\ Rate = 2\%

New Nominal Rate is calculated as thus;

Nominal\ Rate = [(1 + Real\ Interest\ Rate) * (1 + Inflation\ Rate)] - 1

Nominal\ Rate = [(1 + 2\%) * (1 + 3\%)] - 1

Nominal\ Rate = [(1 + 0.02) * (1 + 0.03)] - 1

Nominal\ Rate = [(1.02) * (1.03)] - 1

Nominal\ Rate = [(1.02 * 1.03)] - 1

Nominal\ Rate = 1.0506 - 1

Nominal\ Rate = 0.0506

Convert to Percentage

Nominal\ Rate = 5.06\%

Nominal\ Rate = 5\% (Approximated)
