Expert Solution
Step 1
Since multiple subparts have been given, the first three would be answered by us. For the answers of the remaining subparts, please post the complete question and mention the subparts to be solved.
a) Nominal GDP in 2020
It is based on prices of 2020 ie current prices
= Prices in 2020*quantity in 2020
= $1.5*1000+950*220
= $1500+209000
= $210500
Hence nominal GDP in 2020 is $210500
b) Nominal GDP in 2021
= Prices in 2021* quantity in 2021
= 3*1100+1100*300
= $333300
Hence nominal GDP in 2021 is $333300
