Answer:

The problem with variable rates is that they vary, i.e., they might unexpectedly increase and the increase might be pretty significant. One of the main factors leading to the Great Recession was the housing bubble and the increase in mortgage interest rates. Normally, interest rates tend to increase, they might sometimes decrease, but generally they only go up and up.

Even though the fixed interest rate might be higher, it will not change and that  guarantees that you will always pay the same amount and that you can prepare your personal budget to cover it.

kompoz [17]

Answer:

Nominal interest rate (n) = 10% = 0.10

Inflation rate (i) = -2% = -0.02  

Real interest rate (r) = ?  

Application of Fisher's Equation                                                      

(I + n) =   (1 + r)(1 + i)

(1 + 0.10)  = (1 + r)(1 + -0.02)

1.10 = (1 + r)(0.98)

<u>1.10</u> = 1 + r

0.98

1.1224 = 1 + r

1.1224 - 1 = r      

r = 0.1224 = 12.24%

Jimmer's real income will change by 12.24% next year.                                                                                                                                                

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

Explanation:

In the determination of the rate of change in real income, there is need          to apply Fisher's equation. The nominal rate and inflation rate have been given, thus, we will make the real rate the subject of the formula.
