    Real income has increased by $720 in terms of dollar and 2% in percentage

    Explanation:

    The real income is determined by adjusting the nominal income for inflation. The consumer price index (CPI) is used to measure the rate of inflation.

    Real income = Nominal income * CPI Base year / CPI in current year

    Real Income = 32000 * 120/125

    =$30,720

    Change Real income

    Change in real income ($) = 30,720 - 30,000

    = $ 720

    Change in real income (%) = (720/30,000) * 100

    = 2%

    Real income has increased by $720 in terms of dollar and 2% in percentage
