Pat receives a portion of his income from his holdings of interest-bearing U.S. government bonds. The bonds offer a real interest rate of 2% per year. The nominal interest rate on the bonds adjusts automatically to account for the inflation rate.
The government taxes nominal interest income at a rate of 20%. The following table shows two scenarios: a low-inflation scenario and a high-inflation scenario.
Given the real interest rate of 2% per year, find the nominal interest rate on Pat's bonds, the after-tax nominal interest rate, and the after-tax real interest rate under each inflation scenario.
