Nominal and Capital Money

What do you understand by nominal and capital money?

Nominal money means, money at its current value (not adjusted for inflation). When nominal money is adjusted with inflationary factor, then it is called real money.

For example: Price of a Car is Rs 300,000 and rate of inflation is 5%. The nominal money you pay for the car is Rs 300,000.
And the real money you will spend is Rs 300,000/1.05 = Rs 285,714 (approximately).
Capital money means money utilized for capital or long-term purpose. Capital money is
not something tangible, but is instead anything pertaining to a promoting means of production.
