Respuesta :

Answer:

1.5%

Explanation:

The computation of the inflation rate is shown below:

As we know that

Inflation rate = nominal interest rate - real interest rate

= 4.2% - 2.7%

= 1.5%

By deducting the real interest rate from the nominal interest rate we can get the inflation rate and the same is applied above i.e in the computation part by considering the nominal interest rate and the real interest rate
