Answer:
1. 4%
2. 2%
Interest rates are rounded off to nearest whole number.
Explanation:
Fisher effect formula determines the relationship between the Nominal rate, Real rate and inflation rate.
Fisher effect formula is as follows
1 + nominal rate = ( 1 + real rate ) ( 1 + inflation rate )
1.
1 + 5% = ( 1 + real rate ) ( 1 + 1% )
1.05 = ( 1 + real rate ) x 1.01
1 + real rate = 1.05 / 1.01
1 + real rate = 1.0396
real interest = 1.0396 - 1 = 0.0396 = 3.96% = 4%
2.
Inflation premium = [ ( 1+ nominal rate ) / ( 1+ real rate ) ] -1
Inflation premium = [ ( 1+ 6% ) / ( 1+ 4% ) ] -1
Inflation premium = [ ( 1.06 / 1.04 ] -1
Inflation premium = 1.0192 - 1
Inflation premium = 0.0192
Inflation premium = 1.92%
Inflation premium = 2%
