Answer:

1% negative

Explanation:

a. What is the real interest rate?

the inflation premium is an added value to the real interest rate to cover the effect of inflation and be more attractive to potential investor:

real interest rate + inflation premium = nominal interest rate

real interest rate + 2% = 1%

we clear real interest:

real interes rate = 1% - 2% = -1%

The real interest is 1% negative
