In Year 1, the price level was 120 and the average nominal income was $30,000. In Year 2, the price level was 125 and the average nominal level of income was $32,000. What happened to real income from Year 1 to Year 2

There was an increase in real income from year 1 to year 2 by a value of 600

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to explain what happened to real income from Year 1 to Year 2.

We calculate that as follows.

Kindly note that CPI(consumer price index) is same as price level in this case

Mathematically, real income = (income/CPI) * 100

In Year 1, real income = (30,000/120) * 100 = 25000

In Year 2, real income = (32,000/125) * 100 = 25,600

The question asked what happened to real income from year 1 to year 2. What happened is that there was an increase of 25600-25000 = 600 in real income from year 1 to year 2
