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.…
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.
Answer: Year 1 :
(3x4)+(1x3)+(3x2)= $21
Year 2:
(5x4)+(2x3)+(2x2) =$30
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.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?
