3. Comparing salaries from different times Consider golfers who led the Professional Golfers' Association of America (PGA) in winnings at different points in time. Note that the winnings are nominal figures (unadjusted for inflation). To convert the original earnings of Nelson, Nicklaus, and Pavin, use the formula for converting dollar figures from an earlier era into year 2021 U.S. dollars. Using those figures, fill in the following table, making sure to round your responses to the nearest U.S. dollar. Nominal Winnings Year 1945 Byron Nelson 1973 Jack Nicklaus Corey Pavin 1991 2021 John Rahm Golfer True (Dollars) 63,336 308,362 979,430 7,705,933 False U.S. CPI (1983 = 100) 18 44.4 136.2 264.7 Winnings in 2021 Dollars True or False: According to the previous table, the golfer with the highest PGA winnings in nominal dollars is the same as the golfer with the highest PGA winnings after adjusting for inflation. 7,705,933
Darshan needs to borrow money to become a nurse practitioner. Suppose that compensation of nurse practitioners is expected to increase. Assuming nothing else changes, this means that if Darshan borrows now, his cost of borrowing money is expected to due to the following factor: O Decreasing preferences for future consumption.

Check all that apply.
