Subject: Re: Class variables problem

Why would the following did not work?

class Test
    def Calc(x)
        return @rate*x
    end
end

class Fred < Test
    @rate = 10
end

puts Fred.Calc(12)
^D
NoMethodError: undefined method 'Calc' for Fred:Class from (irb):9

Fred should inherit all the Test class method, isn't it? Therefore it has
access to its variables. Thanks
