Answer:

11%

Step-by-step explanation:

Nominal interest rate = real interest rate + inflation rate

6% + 5% = 11%

Anticipated Inflation rate is the rate at which it is expected that price levels would rise.

Real interest rate is the rate of interest that has been adjusted for the effects of inflation.

I hope my answer helps you
