Effect of inflation on interest rates
Let
Rn = Nominal Rate of Interest
Rr = Real Rate of Interest
Ri = Expected Rate of Inflation.
The above rates are in terms of per $ (not %); then according to Fisher
(1+Rn)=(1+Rr)(1+Ri)
which can be approximated as
Rn = Rr + Ri , since interest rates are quite less than 1.
