Can TVM be used to evaluate the real return or just the nominal return?
TVM, or Time Value of Money can certainly be used to calculate a real return. The only difference between a nominal return and a real return is inflation, so simply discount your future cash flows by anticipated inflation and you have a real return. In simpler terms assuming inflation is steady you could simply deduct inflation from your nominal return. For example a nominal 7% return with 3% inflation could be desribed as a 4% real return.

Can a persons money wage decrease at the same time their real wage increases?
Yes, a person's money wage can decrease while their real wage increases if the rate of inflation decreases faster than the reduction in their nominal wage. For example, if a worker's nominal wage drops by 2% but the inflation rate falls by 5%, the purchasing power of their earnings—real wage—can increase despite the nominal wage decrease. This situation highlights the distinction between nominal and real wages, where real wages reflect the buying power of income adjusted for inflation.
Is Weighted average cost of capital real or nominal?
The Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) can be expressed in either real or nominal terms, depending on the context. A nominal WACC includes the effects of inflation, while a real WACC adjusts for inflation to reflect the true cost of capital in purchasing power terms. The choice between the two typically depends on the cash flows being discounted; if they are nominal cash flows, nominal WACC is used, and for real cash flows, the real WACC is appropriate.
