Expert Solution
Introduction

Absolute change in Interest rate:

Absolute change in interest rate means the amount of change in interest rate of two periods. It is an indicator of the difference between interest prevailing in the initial and final period. It is an absolute measure of the change in interest rate. It is not expressed in percentage terms. It can be calculated using the following formula:

Absolute change in interest rate= Value of period 2- Value of period 1

Relative change in Interest Rate:

Relative change in interest rate measures the amount of change in interest rate in percentage terms. It also indicates the difference in interest rate of two periods in percentage terms. This will not give the amount in absolute terms.

It can be calculated using the following formula:

Relative change in interest rate = Value of period 2- Value ofperiod 1Value of period 1×100
