Use the following information to answer questions 3-5. Suppose that in the nation state of Craiglandia there are 2 final goods produced in the economy - kitten chow and kitty litter. Suppose the economy produces 20 units of kitten chow and 5 units of kitty litter in 2000 (the base year), and 21 units of kitten chow and 8 units of kitty litter in 2015. Further suppose the price of kitten chow was $2.50 per unit in 2000, and $3.00 per unit in 2015; whereas the price of kitty litter was $2.00 in 2000 and $1.00 in 2015. The GDP deflator for Craiglandia, for 2015, is and it follows that Craiglandia experienced between 2000 and 2015.

Suppose that annual output in year 1 in a 3-good economy is 3 quarts of ice cream, 1 bottle of shampoo, and 3 jars of peanut butter. In year 2, the output mix changes to 5 quarts of ice cream, 2 bottles of shampoo, and 2 jars of peanut butter. 1.1. If the prices in both years are $4 per quart for ice cream, $3 per bottle of shampoo, and $2 per jar of peanut butter, what was the economy’s nominal GDP in year 1? Show the calculation. Recall that GDP is the core measure of an economy's health. Nominal GDP (also known as current–dollar economic statistics) is not adjusted to account for any price changes. To calculate nominal GDP (the value of all final goods and services evaluated at current-year prices) you have to use the formula: Nominal GDP= P*Q. To get a real picture of a nation's economic growth economists prefer using real GDP. To calculate real GDP (the value of all final goods and services evaluated at base-year prices for each year) you have to use the formula: Real GDP= P*Q.…

Consider a simple two-sector economy containing manufacturing and agricultural industries. Manufacturing industry requires $20 million worth of its own product and $40 million worth of agricultural industry output in the process of supplying $75 million worth of its own product to final consumers. Similarly, agricultural industry requires $20 million worth of its own product and $20 million worth of manufacturing industry output in the process of supplying $20 million worth of its own product to final consumers. The primary suppliers provide inputs to manufacturing and agricultural industries worth $40 and $60 million, respectively and purchase the final outputs of $5 million. The initial sales/purchase is $30 million for manufacturing and $15 million for agriculture industry. Calculate:i. The direct and indirect sales.ii. Explain the total economic impact briefly.
There are three parts to this question: 1a, 1b, and 2a. Suppose that annual output in year 1 in a 3-good economy is 3 quarts of ice cream, 1 bottle of shampoo, and 3 jars of peanut butter. In year 2, the output mix changes to 5 quarts of ice cream, 2 bottles of shampoo, and 2 jars of peanut butter. 1.a. If the prices in both years are $4 per quart for ice cream, $3 per bottle of shampoo, and $2 per jar of peanut butter, what was the economy’s nominal GDP in year 1? Show the calculation. 1.b. What was its nominal GDP in year 2? Show the calculation. Now, assume that in year 3, the output mix changes again to 3 quarts of ice cream, 1 bottles of shampoo, and 3 jars of peanut butter. Consider the year 1 as the base year.2.a. If the prices in year 3 are $5 per quart for ice cream, $4 per bottle of shampoo, and $3 per jar of peanut butter, what is the economy’s real GDP in year 3? Show the calculation.
25) Suppose that in 1984 the total output in a single-good economy was 10,000 buckets of chicken. Also assume that in 1984 each bucket of chicken was priced at $16. Finally, assume that in 2005 the price per bucket of chicken was $20 and that 22,000 buckets were produced. Instructions: In part a, enter your answer as an index number rounded to 1 decimal place. In parts b-c, enter your answers as whole numbers. a. What is the GDP price index for 1984, using 2005 as the base year? b. By what percentage did the price level, as measured by this index, rise between 1984 and 2005? c. What were the amounts of real GDP in 1984 and 2005?
Let us use what we have learned in the first part of the chapter to compare living standards in the United States and a hypothetical country, Argonia, in 2008. The U.S. GDP in 2008 was approximately $14 trillion, and the U.S. population was approximately 300 million. What was the per capita GDP in the United States in 2008? Suppose that in the local currency, Argonian dollars, Argonia’s GDP in 2008 was 1 trillion, and its population was 10 million. What was Argonia’s GDP per capita in Argonian dollars? What problems do you foresee in comparing this number to the U.S. GDP per capita in U.S. dollars computed in part (a)? The Argonian dollar/U.S. dollar exchange rate was equal to 6 on January 1, 2008 (meaning that 1 U.S. dollar was worth 6 Argonian dollars) and reached 9 on August 1, 2008. Compute an exchange-rate-based measure of the GDP per capita in Argonia in U.S. dollars on these two dates. Do you think the change in Argonia’s exchange-rate-based measure of GDP per capita…

Suppose a simple economy produces five goods: chicken, potatoes, oranges, orange juice, and tractors. The tractors are sold to firms as a final investment expenditure and not sold to the households. Additionally, half of the oranges are used as an intermediate good to make the orange juice, while the other half are sold as a final good to the household. The rest of the domestic goods (chicken, potatoes, and orange juice) are sold to the household as a final consumption good.
