Inflation can affect the real/nominal price
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Inflation refers to the general increase in prices of goods and services over time. It affects both the real and nominal prices. The nominal price is the price at which a good or service is sold, while the real price takes into account the effect of inflation on purchasing power. As inflation increases, the nominal price of goods and services also tends to increase. This means that the real price, adjusted for inflation, may remain the same or even decrease. Therefore, it is true that inflation can affect the real/nominal price.Rate this question:
