What was nominal GDP in year 1? What was real GDP in year 1?What was nominal GDP in year 2? What was real GDP in year 2?
Answer: $21 ; $21 ; $30 ; $30
Explanation:
Given the following:
Goods, price YR 1; qty YR 1; price YR 2; qty YR 2
Quarts of ice cream; $4.00; 3; $4.00; 5
Bottles of shampoo; $3.00; 1; $3.00; 2
Jars of peanut butter; $2.00; 3; $2.00; 2
A.) Nominal GDP in year 1:
NOMINAL GDP = SUMMATION OF THE PRODUCT OF PRICE AND QUANTITY OF GOODS FOR A PARTICULAR YEAR
QUARTZ OF ICE CREAM = $4 × 3 = $12
BOTTLE OF SHAMPOO = $3 × 1 = $3
JARS OF PEANUT BUTTER = $2 × 3 = $6
NOMINAL GDP = $(12 + 3 + 6) = $21
B) REAL GDP YEAR 1
REAL GDP = SUMMATION OF THE PRODUCT OF PRICE OF BASE YEAR AND QUANTITY OF GOODS FOR A PARTICULAR YEAR
QUARTZ OF ICE CREAM = $4 × 3 = $12
BOTTLE OF SHAMPOO = $3 × 1 = $3
JARS OF PEANUT BUTTER = $2 × 3 = $6
REAL GDP = $(12 + 3 + 6) = $21
C) NOMINAL GDP YEAR 2
QUARTZ OF ICE CREAM = $4 × 5 = $20
BOTTLE OF SHAMPOO = $3 × 2 = $6
JARS OF PEANUT BUTTER = $2 × 2 = $4
NOMINAL GDP = $(20 + 6 + 4) = $30
D)REAL GDP YEAR 2
REAL GDP = SUMMATION OF THE PRODUCT OF PRICE OF BASE YEAR AND QUANTITY OF GOODS FOR A PARTICULAR YEAR
QUARTZ OF ICE CREAM = $4 × 5 = $20
BOTTLE OF SHAMPOO = $3 × 2 = $6
JARS OF PEANUT BUTTER = $2 × 2 = $4
REAL GDP = $(20 + 6 + 4) = $30
