    10.97%

    Explanation:

    the formula to calculate real rate of return:

    real rate of return = [ (1 + nominal return) / (1 + inflation rate) ] - 1

    real rate of return = [ (1 + 12.3%) / (1 + 1.2%) ] - 1 = (1.123 / 1.012) - 1 = 0.1097 or 10.97%

    the risk free rate is not included in the calculation of the real rate of return, but we can also calculate the real risk free rate of return using a similar formula:

    real risk free rate of return = [ (1 + risk free rate) / (1 + inflation rate) ] - 1 = 3.01%
