The concentration ratio for Industry M is 52%.

The concentration ratio of industry M can be determined by adding the the ratio of the output to the total output of each of the six firms together.

Ratio of firm 1's output to total output = 22,987 / 198,400 = 0.11586 = 11.59%
Ratio of firm 2's output to total output = 21,444 / 198,400 = 0.1081 = 10.81%
Ratio of firm 3's output to total output = 18,787 / 198,400 = 0.0947 = 9.47%
Ratio of firm 4's output to total output = 16,454 / 198,400 = 0.0829 = 8.29%
Ratio of firm 5's output to total output = 12,890 / 198,400 = 0.065 = 6.5%
Ratio of firm 6's output to total output = 22,987 / 198,400 = 0.0506 = 5.06%

Sum of the percentages = 51.72%

Why are the real income levels of Americans affected by rising prices?

Nat2105 [25]

"Real Wages" are wages that are adjusted for inflation and rising prices. As prices rise, people are able to buy less and less with their "nominal" (aka un-adjusted) wages.

One example is gas for your car. If you make $1000 a month and gas goes up from $2.50 to $3, your un-adjusted wages stay the same (you still make $1000) but you can't buy as much of other things because your "real" wages have effectively gone down due to the price increase of gas.
