    The question is missing the below details:

    inflation rate of Zero % = real rate of 6%

    inflation rate of 2.8% = real rate of 3.2%

    inflation rate of 5.8% = real rate of 0.2%

    Explanation:

    The interest rate consists of both the real rate of return and the inflation rate - return meant to compensate investors the prevalent rate of return in the economy.

    Nominal rate=real rate+Inflation rate

    real rate=nominal rate-inflation rate

    at inflation rate of 0

    real rate = 6%-0

    real rate - 6%

    at inflation rate 2.8%

    real rate=6%-2.8%

    real rate=3.2%

    at inflation rate of 5.8%

    real rate=6%-5.8%

    real rate=0.2%
