Answer:
W = $27.34
Explanation:
Given data:
Percentage Decline in average income is = 2%
CPI in 1990 1.30
CPI in 2000 is 1.69
Average nominal wage is 2000 is $35
Inflation rate is given as
Inflation rate = % Change in CPI
= (1.69 / 1.3) - 1
= 1.3 - 1 = 0.3 = 30%
Real wage = Nominal wage / Price level, hence
Percentage change in real wage = % Change in (nominal wage - inflation rate)
-2% = % Change in nominal wage - 30%
% Change in nominal wage = 28%
let nominal wage in 1990 is w
W\times 1.28% = $35
solving for W = $27.34
