Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

The nominal interest rate was 5 percent.

The CPI was 150.3 at the end of the year, and the CPI was 144.2 at the beginning of the year.

The 5% nominal interest rate means that the dollar value of savings increased at 5%.

Inflation rate

= \frac{(150.3 - 144.2)}{144.2}

= 0.0423 or 4.2%

The real interest rate

= Nominal interest rate - rate of inflation

= 5 - 4.2

= 0.8%

The real interest rate of 0.8% indicates that the purchasing power of savings increased at 0.8%.
