CASE 1: inflation = 0%, nominal interest rate = 5% CASE 2: inflation = 5%, nominal interest rate = 10% CASE 3: inflation = 10 %, nominal interest rate = 15% In which case does the real value of your deposit grow the most?

Explain what is the relationship between the consumer price index and the inflation rate.
Question 11 of 25, Step 1 of 1 T A basket of goods and services is used to calculate the consumer price index (CPI) in Country A. The weight of food and beverages is 10% of the whole basket. The average household's budget on food and beverages was $7,500 in 2010 (base year) and increased by $500 in 2015. Assuming the increase in the rate of spending on food and beverages matched the inflation rate, calculate the inflation rate between 2010 and 2015. Round your answer to two decimal places if necessary.

The nominal interest rate is 2% and the inflation rate 1%. C. The nominal interest rate is 8% and the inflation rate 5%. D. The nominal interest rate is 11% and the inflation rate 9%.
Please give back one of my other questions that was the same as this. I had to resubmit this as I incorrectly typed the percentages before. There is a persistent fear that there will be a high level of deflation. Many economists warn that it may be worse for the economy than if there is high inflation. Suppose that Herb is in debt and has to pay a 5.25% nominal interest rate. He expected inflation to be 1.50%. Instead, inflation is −2.00% (deflation). What is the real interest rate that Herb is expected to pay, and that he is actually paying?
