Price index in 1944 = 17.6
Price index in 2005 = 184
Zinnia’s 2005 income = $2,10,000
Zinnia’s 2005 income in 1944 dollars is
Value of dollars = dollars × beginning period index ÷ ending period index
Value of dollars = $2,10,000 × 17.6 ÷ 184
= $200,86
So the salary of Zinnia is $2,10,000 in 2005 worth $20,086 in 1944.
