    Answer: 0.51

    Explanation:

    Nominal rate = 1.85%

    Inflation rate = 1.90%

    Real rate of return = (1 + nominal rate / 1 + inflation rate) - 1

    Real rate of return = ((1 + 0.0185) / (1 + 0.019)) - 1

    = (1.0185 / 1.019) - 1

    = 0.9995 - 1 = - 0.0005

    Therefore, the real dollar return I. $1,020 equals

    0.0005 * 1020 = 0.51
