Which of the following are CORRECT statements regarding inflation and real variables? Select ONLY THOSE THAT APPLY. Select 2 correct answer(s) If nominal interest rate is 10 percent, the inflation rate is 5 percent, and the tax rate is 30 percent, the real after-tax interest rate is 2 percent. Lower than anticipated inflation raises the real wage rate (adjusted for inflation) and workers gain at the expense of employers who lose. UIf the money wage rate is $30.00 an hour and the price level is 120, the real wage rate is $24.00.

The total price of purchasing a basket of goods in the United Kingdom over four years is: year 1=940, year 2=970, year 3=1000, and year 4=1070. Calculate two price indices, one using year 1 as the base year (set equal to 100) and the other using year 4 as the base year (set equal to 100). Then, calculate the inflation rate based on the first price index. If you had used the other price index, would you get a different inflation rate? If you are unsure, do the calculation and find out.
