    The computation is shown below:

    As we know that

    Real Deficit = Nominal Deficit - (Inflation * Total Debt)

    a.

    Real deficit = $90 - (11% * $1,000)

    = - $20 billion surplus

    b.

    Real deficit = $150 - (11% * $1,000)

    = $40 billion deficit

    c.

    Real deficit = $40 - (-5% * $300)

    = $55 billion deficit

    d.

    Real deficit = - $50 - (1% * $3,000)

    = - $80 billion surplus
