Consider an economy that only produces two goods: strawberries and cream. Use the table below to compute nominal GDP real GDP and the GDP deflator for each year.
Nominal GDP in 2014 = Price of Strawberries in 2014 * Quantity of Strawberries in 2014 + Price of cream in 2014 * Quantity of cream in 2014 = $1.00 * 100 + $3.00 * 200 = $100 + $600 = $700
Real GDP in 2014 = Nominal GDP in 2014 = $400 (2014 is the base year)
GDP Deflator in 2014 = 100 (Base year)
Nominal GDP in 2015 = Price of Strawberries in 2015 * Quantity of Strawberries in 2015 + Price of cream in 2015 * Quantity of cream in 2015 = $2.00 * 125 + $3.50 * 400 = $250 + $1,400 = $1,650
Real GDP in 2015 = Price of Strawberries in 2014 * Quantity of Strawberries in 2015 + Price of cream in 2014 * Quantity of cream in 2015 = $1.00 * 125 + $3.00 * 400 = $125 + $1,200 = $1,325
GDP Deflator in 2015 = (Nominal GDP in 2015/Real GDP in 2015) * 100 = ($1,650/$1,325) * 100 = 124.53
Nominal GDP in 2016 = Price of Strawberries in 2016 * Quantity of Strawberries in 2016 + Price of cream in 2016 * Quantity of cream in 2016 = $3.00 * 150 + $4.00 * 500 = $450 + $2,000 = $2,450
Real GDP in 2016 = Price of Strawberries in 2014 * Quantity of Strawberries in 2016 + Price of cream in 2014 * Quantity of cream in 2016 = $1.00 * 150 + $3.00 * 500 = $150 + $1,500 = $1,650
GDP Deflator in 2016 = (Nominal GDP in 2016/Real GDP in 2016) * 100 = ($2,450/$1,650) * 100 = 148.48
Year | Nominal GDP | Real GDP | GDP Deflator |
2014 | 700 | 700 | 100 |
2015 | 1650 | 1325 | 124.53 |
2016 | 2450 | 1650 | 148.48 |
