Answer:

  1. 1.89%
  2. 5.06%

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Solving for real interest rate, we find it to be ...

  real interest rate = (1 +nominal rate)/(1 +inflation rate) -1

  = 1.08/1.06 -1 ≈ 1.89%

__

2. Solving for nominal interest rate, we find it to be ...

  nominal interest rate = (1 +real interest rate)·(1 +inflation rate) -1

  = (1.02)(1.03) -1 ≈ 5.06%
