If the nominal rate of interest is 13.02% and the real rate of interest is 8.01%, what is the expected rate of inflation?
Based on Fischer Relation,
(1 + Nominal rate) = (1 + Real Rate) * (1 + Inflation)
(1 + 13.02%) = (1 + 8.01%) * (1 + Inflation)
1 + Inflation = 1.1302/1.0801
1 + Inflation = 1.0464
Inflation = 0.0464 = 4.64%
