Firm A produces 1,000 units of output at a cost of $20 each. Firm A sells all 1,000 units of output to Firm B at a price of $25 each. Firm B produces 120 units of output using the 1,000 units of output that it purchased from Firm A. The total cost of producing the 120 units was $60,000, or $500 per unit. Firm B sold 90 units to consumers for $600 each and did not sell the remaining units...

1. TRUE/FALSE( 1 mark per question, 20 marks in total) [1) An economy's income is the same as its expenditure because every transaction has a buyer and a seller. 2) GDP is the market value of all final goods and services produced by a country's citizens in a given period of time. [3) If nominal GDP is $10,000 and real GDP is $8,000, then the GDP deflator is 125. 14) Other things equal, in countries with higher levels of real...
Recall the method of calculating real GDP detailed in the chapter. As you may already have noticed, this method has a problem: in calculating aggregate output, this method weights the output of the various goods and services by their relative prices in the base year. Say, for example, a textbook costs $100 in the base year, and a laptop costs $2,000. This means that the laptop would have 20 times the weight of a book in calculating aggregate output. But what happens when relative prices change? As you know,...
Consider an economy that produces and consumes apples and computers as shown in the table below: Good 2019 | Quantity Price 500 $ 2 5 $1,000 2020 Quantity Price 550 $3 $1,000 Apples Computers a. Using 2019 as the base year, compute nominal GDP and real GDP for both years. b. Utilizing the growth rates in both nominal and real GDPs, estimate the inflation rate for 2020.
