Suppose that, in March 2018, you had deposited $1000 in a savings account with an interest rate of 2.2% (and left it there until March of this year) and the bank paid an interest rate of 2% on that savings. What nominal interest rate did you earn? What real interest rate did you earn? Was it a good decision on your part, why or why not?

Answer #1

Nominal interest rate is 1000 ×2.2% = $22

Real interest rate is 1000 × 2% = $20

(Being $2 as the inflation in the market)

No it ain't a good decision as the rate of interest on which we should get $22 , we are receiving $20 . Hence there's no benefit in the the money recieved.
