In an economic model where firms determine their prices by adding a fixed percentage markup over their labor costs, suppose there is an unexpected, economy-wide increase in the nominal wage paid to workers. What is the immediate reaction of firms and the resulting effect on the real wage?

An economy is in equilibrium where the real wage is determined by firms' pricing decisions. Following an unexpected, economy-wide increase in nominal wages, arrange the subsequent events in the correct chronological order.
