1. To achieve the same real yield with an inflation rate of # %, the nominal interest rate would need to be # ⁄ # % after tax, or # % before tax

2. The Breakeven rate is the difference between the yield on a conventional Treasury bond and the real yield on an inflation-linked bond of similar maturity and credit quality

3. The technique of Bootstrapping may be a simple one, but determining the real yield curve and then smoothening it out can be a very tedious and complicated activity that involves lengthy mathematics primarily using bond prices, coupon rates, par value and the number of compounding per year.
