8, Q2) Hey, need help with the following multi-part macroeconomics problem. Thank you in Advance!  Many kinds of loans, like student loans and mortgages, can be taken out at either a fixed or variable rate. A fixed rate loan allows the borrower to pay the same nominal interest rate for the entire lifetime of the loan, while a variable rate loan may experience changes in in the nominal interest rate as the rate that banks charge each other for overnight loans changes. For this problem, assume that this variable nominal interest rate adjusts such that the associated real interest rate remains constant over time. In the first year, inflation is 2.75 percent and the nominal interest rate for both the fixed and variable rate loans is 5 percent. What is the real interest rate for the fixed rate loan? What about for the variable rate loan? In the second year, inflation rises to 3 percent. Calculate the nominal and real interest rates for the fixed rate and the variable rate loans…

Question 22: UK unemployment flat as wage growth drives inflation worries The U.K. unemployment rate remained flat at 4.1% in the last quarter of 2021 and likely declined in January, data by the Office for National Statistics showed. The information also confirmed that fewer Britons are working than before the pandemic. Although the number of employees on payrolls rose in January and now tops pre-pandemic levels, "the number of people in employment overall is well below where it was before COVID-19 hit," said ONS head of economic statistics, Sam Beckett. "This is because there are now far fewer self- employed people." Around 400,000 people, mostly over the age of 50, "have disengaged from the world of work altogether and are neither working nor looking for a job," he said, with the data pointing to an increase in long-term illness, among other factors.
