Answer #1

Purchasing power and gains arise as a result of holding net monetary assets or liabilties during a period when the price level changes
monetary assets and liabilities include cash and receipt/payments in fixed monetary terms

Holding Gains and losses on non monetary/ real assets are of two types:
a)one which arise due to change in general price level during the period known as monetary holding gains and losses
b)real holding gains and losses which are difference between current year amounts with indexed base year amounts (adjusted base year values)

these are only capital adjustments and not included as part of income
