Answer #1

(a) Annual Salary = $50000

Raise = $1000

Percentage Raise = i = Raise / Salary * 100% = 1000/50000 * 100% = 2%

(b) According to the Fisher Equation,

(1 + i) = (1 + r) × (1 + π)

where, i = nominal interest rate (rate before inflation) = 2%

r = real interest rate

π = inflation rate = 2%

=> (1+0.02) = (1+r)(1+0.02)

=> r = 0%

Hence, actual amount of raise = 0%

Hence, nominal interest rate = 9.2%
