    8.10%

    Explanation:

    Fisher equation is applicable in this question. It shows the relationship between nominal interest rate, real interest rate and inflation rate.

    Fisher equation is as follows;

    Inflation rate = [ (1 + Nominal) / (1 + Real) ] - 1

    Inflation rate = [ (1+0.135) * (1+0.05) ] - 1

    Inflation rate = (1.135/1.05) - 1

    Inflation rate = 1.08095 - 1 = 0.08095; which is 8.10%

    Therefore, the Inflation rate is 8.10%
