Answer:

$677.18

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Bill’s nominal income in 1990 = $1,009 per month

CPI value in the year 1990 = 149

CPI value in the year 2017 = 192

Now,

The Consumer price index ( CPI ) is given as :

CPI = \frac{\textup{Cost of basket in the current year}}{\textup{Cost of basket in the base year}}\times100

thus,

for the given case of year 1990

149 = \frac{\textup{1,009}}{\textup{Real income in the year 1990}}\times100

or

Real income in 1990 = \frac{\textup{1,009}}{\textup{149}}\times100

or

Real income in 1990 = $677.18
