3) Suppose that on January 1, 2019 a bank lends $20,000 to a person. The bank and the individual both agree that the real interest rate charged on the loan should be 10% and the loan is going to be totally paid ($20,000 plus interest), in a one-time payment, on December 31, 2020. Suppose the two parties to this transaction can perfectly foresee what the inflation rate for this period is going to be. Given this information, what is the nominal rate the Bank has to charge on this loan? Assume that the CPI is computed at the beginning of each year.
