Answer to Question 1

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.
