Suppose that consumers purchase fish and computer chips. In 2010, 1 pound of fish cost $1, a computer chip cost $1, and the typical consumer bought 10 pounds of fish and 10 computer chips. In 2011, 1 pound of fish cost $2, a computer chip cost $0.50, and the typical consumer bought 5 pounds of fish and 20 computer chips. In 2012, 1 pound of fish cost $2.10, a computer chip cost $0.90, and the typical consumer bought 12 pounds of fish and 20 computer chips. Using 2011 as the base year, the inflation rate between 2011 and 2012 is _____ percent.
Q1b An economy produces two goods: tomatoes and ketchup. It is assumed that half of the tomatoes are bought and consumed as final good; the other half is used to produce ketchup. In 2014, 30 KGs of tomatoes are produced at Rs.60 each, and 20 KGs of ketchup are produced at Rs.200 each. In 2015, 40 KGs of tomatoes are produced at Rs.80 each, and 30 KGs of ketchup are produced at Rs.195 each. Find the following: i) Assuming 2014 is the base year; calculate the real, nominal GDP and GDP deflator in 2014 and 2015.

Gross Domestic Product Explain how net exports affect the US economy. Describe both positive and negative impacts on GDP. Why do national income accountants use net exports to compute GDP, rather than simply adding exports to the other expenditure components of GDP? You have the following information on 3 countries: Soccerland, Handeggland, and Neverland How long will it take until Soccerland’s GDP increases by 75%? How long will it take until Soccerland and Handeggland have the same GDP? Soccerland’s population is not happy that, eventually, Handeggland is going to have higher GDP than their country. They feel that they are a much better country, so they are going to work harder to ensure that Handeggland will never catch up with Soccerland. If Soccerland’s new growth rate is constant every year, what is the minimum growth rate that ensures that Soccerland will always have a higher GDP than Handeggland? Neverland’s ambition is to host the World Cup. At the…

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. 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.
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. 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? Year 1 - the output combination is - 3 quarts of ice cream, 1 bottle of shampoo, and 3 jars of peanut butter. Year 2, the output combination changes to 5 quarts of ice cream, 2 bottles of shampoo, and 2 jars of peanut butter. The prices in both years are $4 per quart for ice cream, $3 per bottle of shampoo, and $2 per jar of peanut butter Therefore, GDP in year 1 was $21 [= (3 x $4) + (1 x $3) + (3 x $2)]. 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.…

A2) Economics We can define GDP as value of all goods and services produced in an economy. But directly above we calculate GDP by adding up the value of all goods and services purchased in an economy. By calculating GDP in this way we must assume that everything produced is also purchased. While it seems obvious that not everything produced is always purchased in a given year, how can we explain the difference in the way we define GDP and how we calculate it. (i.e. how do we explain how everything purchased can actually be equal to everything produced)
Suppose an economy produces only cheese and fish. In 2010, 20 units of cheese are sold at $5 each and 8 units of fish are sold at $50 each.
