Answer:

the nominal wage rate in 2005 and in 2006 is 15.98 and 16.61 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the nominal wage rate in 2005 and in 2006 is shown below:

For the year 2005

= $8.18 × $195.3 ÷ 100

= 15.98

And, for the year 2006

= $8.24 × 201.60 ÷ 100

= 16.61

In this way it should be calculated

hence, the nominal wage rate in 2005 and in 2006 is 15.98 and 16.61 respectively
