You borrow $1,000 from a bank at 6% annual interest and promise to pay it back after a year. As you sign the loan documents, both you and the bank expect inflation to be 3% in the coming year. During the course of the year, however, the average price level rises by only 1%. What best describes this situation? Select one: a. Both you and the bank are better off because the inflation rate is less than the nominal interest rate but greater than zero. O b. The bank has gained at your expense because the real interest rate on the loan is higher than expected. O c. Neither you nor the bank has gained anything extra because the inflation rate is less than the nominal interest rate. O d. You have gained at the bank's expense because you can pay the bank back in inflated dollars.
