Your current salary is $59,904 per year. If the consumer price index increases from 136 to 152 then what is your cost of living adjusted income? Enter a number rounded to two decimal places.

Cost of living adjusted income = $59904 + (152%-136%)*$59904

                                                   = $59904 + 16%*59904

                                                   = $59904 +$9584.64

                                                   = $69488.64

The level of inflation is denoted by

(Current CPI-Base CPI)/Base CPI

(152-136)/136=11.76% reduction in salary in actual terms

Cost of living Adjusted Income=current salary-(current salary*inflation rate)

Cost of living adjusted income=$59904-($59904*11.76%)

Cost of living adjusted income=$52,859.29
