This question does not follow from 22 e) above.  This is an independent question. 22 f)  Suppose that the monetary authority sets the real interest rate using the rule:  r =  0.02 + 0.5 (π – π*), where π is the inflation rate and π* is the inflation target. Suppose that current inflation rate (π) is 6% (or 0.06) and the inflation target (π*) is 2% (or 0.02).   What is the nominal interest rate? Write your answer in _______ %.   For example, if 7%, just enter 7.
