ahmm....the result is in your book!
the real interest rate equals nominal interest rate minus inflation rate. In the situation the inflation rate increase and the nominal interest rate remains unchanged, therefore the real interest rate must decrease.
A real interest rate and a nominal interest rate are quite similar. The only real difference between the two interest rates are that a nominal interest rate include the cost of inflation where as the real interest rate does not.
Do you want to know this question for the test? lol
In the long run the real interest rate is determined by?
The interest rate is the thing that primarily affects the investment demand curve and an increase in investment indicates a decrease in real interest rate. This makes sense because it is better for borrowers to pay a lower interest rate. Also, better technology can cause the investment demand curve to shift out, also high inventories. If interest rates are expected to be higher in the future, firms will choose to invest now and the lowering of business taxes will result in the investment demand curve to shift outwards.

Nominal InterestA nominal interest rate is the interest rate that does not compensate for inflation. This is used in relation to "effective interest rate" or "real interest rate."" Real Interest Rate = Nominal Interest Rate - Inflation Rate " Improvement suggested by Palash Bagchi.

The expected real interest rate.
Real interest rate = nominal interest rate- inflation rate. If a burger in 2007 is for $100 and if the same burger in 2008 is for $110 then Inflation rate is 10% for 2007 If interest rate in 2007 is 13% and in 2008 interest rate is 14% real interest would be only 14%-10% = 4% That is in real value the return on investment is only 4% because purchasing power of 10% is decreased because of inflation
The nominal interest rate is the baseline interest rate attached to an investment.The real interest rate is connected to the rate of inflation over the duration of your investment.The basic formula for determining the Real Interest Rate is:Real Interest Rate = Nominal Interest Rate - InflationHere's a basic example: If I buy a one-year, $100 savings bond with a 6% interest rate of return, I should receive $106 at the end of the year. This percentage--6%--is my nominal interest rate.Inflation changes the value of the total you receive at the end of the year. Inflation measures the rate of increase in the cost of goods and services; if you buy a table today for $100 and you buy the same table in a year for $103, that equals a 3% rate of inflation.If this happens the same year you are waiting for your bond to mature, you will still receive $106, but goods and services now cost $3 more than they did a year ago, which effectively reduces the value of your profit to $103. This means your real interest rate is actually 3%.3% Real Interest = 6% Nominal Interest - 3% Inflation
Calculating Interest: Principal, Rate and Time are Known--I= p r t http://www.calculator.net/interest-rate-calculator.html The level of interest rates in a free market economy are primarily determined by the rate of inflation, the demand for money, and the actions of the Federal Reserve. Lenders of money will generally demand what is known as a nominal interest rate which is equal to a real interest rate plus a premium to cover the inflation rate. The real, or inflation adjusted interest rate, is the percentage rate of return to a lender as measured by an increase in purchasing power. Yale professor Irving Fisher's economic theory of interest rates laid the conceptual groundwork for establishing that the nominal interest rate equals the real interest rate plus the anticipated rate of inflation. Fisher's mathematical equations in his theory of interest rates are supported by empirical data. A comparison of comparable maturity U.S. Treasury securities, one of which has a fixed rate and the other an inflation adjusted rate, shows that the nominal interest rate always exceeds the real interest rate. A consumer, whether a borrower or a saver, will generally be quoted a nominal interest rate by a bank on a loan or a savings account.
A decrease in aggregate demand, an increase in the reserve requirement, an increase in the discount rate, increase in interest rates, a decrease in government spending.
real interest rate is graphed on the y-axis and quantity of investment is on the x-axis. Both values increase as they go away from the origin. If real interest rate is higher, quantity of investment will be lower, creating a point on the upper left side of the graph. If real interest rate is lower, then quantity of investment will be higher, and a point will be created on the lower right side of the graph.
