Question 11 44 pts Assume that an economy produces only three goods; Computers, cars, and pizza. Table 1 gives the price and quantity for each good and the number of employed and unemployed individuals for the years 2017-2020. Table 2 gives the fixed basket used for calculating the CPI.

Answer #1

Answer A :

Nominal GDP in 2017 = $(400 × 20 + 18,000 × 10 + 10 × 500) = $ 193,000

Nominal GDP in 2018 = $(500 × 15 + 20,000 × 12 + 10 × 600) = $ 253,500

Nominal GDP in 2019 = $(450 × 20 + 22,000 × 10 + 12 × 550) = $ 235,600

Nominal GDP in 2020 = $(350 × 25 + 28,000 × 12 + 15 × 500) = $ 352,250

Answer B : 2018 is taken as the base year. So 2018 prices will be taken as given.

Real GDP in 2017 = $(500 × 20 + 20,000 × 10 + 10 × 500) = $215,000

Real GDP in 2018 = $ 253,500

Real GDP in 2019 = $(500 × 20 + 20,000 × 10 + 10 × 550) = $215,500

Real GDP in 2020 = $(500 × 25 + 20,000 × 12 + 10 × 500) = $257,500

Answer C :

We use the formula : GDP Deflator = (Nominal GDP / Real GDP) × 100

GDP Deflator 2017 = (193,000/215,000) × 100 = 89.767

GDP Deflator 2018 = (253,500/253,500)×100 = 100

GDP Deflator 2019 = (235,600/215,500)×100 = 109.327

GDP Deflator 2020 = (352,250/257,500)×100 = 136.796

Answer D :

We use the formula : Inflation rate = [(GDP Deflator in year 2 - GDP Deflator in year 1)/GDP Deflator in Year 1] × 100%

Inflation rate in 2018 = [(100 - 89.767)/89.767]×100% = 11.4%

Inflation rate in 2019 = [(109.281 - 100)/100]×100% = 9.281%

Inflation rate in 2020 = [(136.796 - 109.281]/109.281]×100% = 25.178 %
