Essay: Nominal and Real Values
1) Explain the difference between a nominal value and a real value.
Answer: A nominal value is the actual price that is paid or the actual wage received. If today you
pay $1 for a can of Pepsi, this amount is a nominal value. A real value is adjusted for
changes in the price level. To compare prices or wages across years, the nominal values
need to be converted to real values. In other words, you need to compare values in the
same dollars. This conversion is necessary because a dollar today is not worth the same
as a dollar 20 years ago.
Topic: Nominal and real values
Skill: Level 2: Using definitions
Section: Checkpoint 7.3
Status: Old
AACSB: Written and oral communication
2) When the nominal price of a good increases over time, must its real price also increase?
Answer: No, even though the nominal price of a good increases, its real price might decrease. For
instance, the nominal price of motorcycles has increased between 1970 and 2010, but
their real price has decreased because the CPI increased even more rapidly.

3) What is the difference between nominal variables and real variables? Discuss the calculations
undertaken to determine the real wage rate and the real interest rate. Explain why the real
wage rate and real interest rate are real variables.
Answer: Nominal variables are measured using current dollars; real variables are measured
using dollars of a given base year. More generally, nominal variables are in terms of
current dollars whereas real variables are in terms of the quantity of goods and services
that can be purchased. The real wage rate equals the nominal wage rate divided by the
CPI. The real interest rate equals the nominal interest rate minus the inflation rate. The
real wage rate is a real variable because it provides the purchasing power of an hourʹs
labor. The real interest rate is a real variable because it provides the purchasing power
gained as interest on a loan.

4) In 1995, the CPI was 152.5 and the price of an economics textbook was $70.00 and a music CD
was $16.00. If the CPI was 172.3 in 2011, what were the prices of the economics textbook and
the music CD in 2011 dollars?
Answer: To adjust the two prices, the ratio of the CPI in 2011 to the CPI in 1995 is needed. This
ratio is (172.3)/(152.5) = 1.13. Then multiply the 1995 prices by this ratio to convert the
prices to 2011 dollars. This yields a 2011 dollar price for the textbook of ($70.00 × 1.13) =
$79.10 and a 2011 dollar price for the CD of ($16.00 × 1.13) = $18.08.

5) In 1979, the price of gasoline was $1.389 per gallon and the CPI was 72.6. In 2003, the price of
gasoline was $1.589 per gallon and the CPI was 182.9. Find the real price of gasoline in 1979
and 2003 in terms of base period dollars.
Answer: To adjust the price in 1979, the ratio of the CPI in the base period to the CPI in 1979 is
needed. The base period CPI is 100, so this ratio is (100)/(72.6) = 1.38. Then multiply the
1979 price by this ratio to convert the price to base period dollars, which yields a base
period price for the gallon of gasoline of ($1.389 per gallon × 1.38) = $1.92 per gallon.
To adjust the price in 2003, a similar procedure is followed. The ratio of the CPI in the
base period to the CPI in 2003 is (100)/(182.9) = 0.55. Then multiply the 2003 price by
this ratio to covert the price to base period dollars, which yields a base period price for
the gallon of gasoline of ($1.589 per gallon × 0.55) = $0.87 per gallon.

6) Scott worked in a large foreign country. He retired in 2008 and his pension income is fixed at
$1,500 per month. The table above gives the CPI in this country. What is the real monthly
value of his pension in the years between 2008 and 2011?
Answer: To calculate the real value of the pension, divide the $1,500 pension by the CPI and then
multiply by 100. This calculation gives the real values as: 2008, $1,500.00; 2009,
$1,463.41; 2010, $1,415.09; 2011: $1,351.52.

7) For each of the following values of nominal GDP and real GDP, calculate the GDP price index.
a. Nominal GDP = $600; real GDP = $800.
b. Nominal GDP = $900; real GDP = $900.
c. Nominal GDP = $1,200; real GDP = $1,000.
Answer: a. The GDP price index equals ($600 ÷ $800) × 100, which is 75.
b. The GDP price index equals ($900 ÷ $900) × 100, which is 100.
c. The GDP price index equals ($1,200 ÷ $1,000) × 100, which is 120.

8) If nominal GDP is $230 for a period and real GDP is $200 for the same period, what is the GDP
price index for this period?
Answer: The GDP price index equals 115, or (100) × ($230 ÷ $200).

9) The table above has real and nominal GDP for two years for a foreign country.
a. What does the GDP price index equal in 2010? What does the value of the GDP price index
tell you about 2010?
b. What does the GDP price index equal in 2011?
Answer: a. The GDP price index equals (100) × (nominal GDP ÷ real GDP). In 2010, the GDP
price index equals (100) × ($3,300 trillion ÷ $3,300 trillion) = 100. Because the GDP price
index equals 100, we can determine that 2010 is a base year.
b. In 2011, the GDP price index equals (100) × ($4,200 ÷ $3,600) = 116.67.

10) Explain how the nominal wage rate is converted into the real wage rate. Explain why this
process of conversion changes the nominal wage rate into the real wage rate.
Answer: The real wage rate equals the nominal wage rate divided by the CPI. The nominal wage
rate equals the dollars that are paid for an hourʹs labor. The CPI is a measure of the
prices of the goods and services that the typical consumer purchases. Hence dividing
the number of dollars for an hourʹs labor by the prices for the goods and services
purchased gives, as its result, the number of goods and services that can be purchased
by the hourʹs labor.
