Answer:
1. Increase in real income percentage = 1.5%
2. Rate of inflation = 1.7%
Explanation:
For computing the percentage of how much real income would increase, we have to apply the formulas which are shown below:
The increase in real income percentage would be equal to
= increase in nominal income percentage - increase in price level percentage
= 5.3% - 3.8%
= 1.5%
And, the rate of inflation equals to
Nominal income - the rate of inflation = Real income
2.8% - rate of inflation = 1.1%
So, the rate of inflation = 1.7%
