Answer: 3%

Explanation:

To calculate the real interest rate, it should be noted that the inflation rate is needed and this can be calculated using the consumer price index as:

= [(126-120)/120] × 100

= 6/120 × 100

= 5%

Real interest rate will now be:

= Nominal Rate - Inflation Rate

= 8% - 5%

= 3%
