Expert Answer
The nominal wage is the monetary wage that the employ or the worker receives from their work. The nominal wage is the monetary wage and thus, it is irrespective of the price level of goods and services in the economy. On the other hand, the real wage is the quantity of goods and services that the worker can receive from the economy and it is obtained by dividing the money wage with the general price level.
The price level in the economy can be calculated by dividing the nominal wage rate with the real wage rate and then multiplying the answer with hundred. The nominal wage rate is equal to $7 and the real wage rate is equal to $5. Thus, the price level in year 1 can be calculated as follows:
