Since he is planning on an annual inflation rate of 2%., the statement that explains the interest rates relating to the CD is nominal interest rate is 3% while the real interest rate is 1%.

A real interest rate refers to the nominal rate which is adjusted for inflation.

  • We are given that Interest (nominal rate) is 3% and planned Inflation rate = 2%

  • Real interest rate = 1% (Nominal rate - inflation rate)

Hence, the statement that explains the interest rates relating to the CD is nominal interest rate is 3% while the real interest rate is 1%.
