to calculate Nominal GDP in 2012 and 2013. What is the growth of such nominal GDP from 2011 to 2012, and from 2012 to 2013. Do the same for the real GDP. Which has grown more, nominal GDP or real GDP? What does this imply?
Consider an economy that produces only chocolate bars. In year 1, the quantity produced: is 6 bars and the price is $6. In year 2, the quality produced is 8 bars and the price is $10. In year 3, the quantity produced is 10 bars and the price is $12. Year 1 is the base year. (A) what is the nominal GDP for each of these three years? (B.) what is real GDP for each of these years? (C.) what is the percentage growth rate of real GDP from year 2 to year 3?
Use the following information to calculate the growth rate. Round to two decimal places.
Nominal GDP Year 1: 7.5 trillion Real GDP Year 1: 9.2 trillion
Nominal GDP Year 2: 7.9 trillion Real GDP Year 2: 9.4 trillion
