- There are two economies: Mexico and the United States. On year 1, the Mexican economy produced $3000 billion dollars worth of goods and services. In that same year the U.S. economy produced $16,000 billion dollars of goods and services. From year 1 to year 2 the Mexican economy grew at 6% and the U.S. economy grew at 2.5%. This means that in year 2 the Mexican economy produced $ than it did in year 1, and that the U.S. economy produced $ and services more than it did in year 1. Fill in the correct numbers in the correct sequence from the choices below. 1.800; 4,000 18.000; 40,000 The answer is different from the other answers provided. 18:40 180; 400 billion more billion in goodsarrow_forwardSuppose 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.…arrow_forwardSuppose the price level reflects the number of dollars needed to buy a basket of goods containing one can of soda, one bag of chips, and one comic book.

- Eden, a country, produces just two output goods: apples and snakeskin handbags. In 2014 the prices of apples and hand bags were 10 and 24, respectively. In 2015, the prices increased to 12 and 25. The quantities produced of the two goods were unchanged in both 2014 and 2015, at 100 and 20. From this information, we can conclude that:arrow_forwardAssume an economy with two firms. Firm A produces wheat and firm B produces bread. In a given year, firm A produces 4500 tonnes of wheat, sells 1500 tonnes of wheat to firm B at $20 per tonne, exports 2500 tonnes of wheat at $20 per tonne, and stores 500 tonnes as inventory. Firm A pays $50,000 in wages to consumers. Firm B produces 30,000 loaves of bread and sells all of it to domestic consumers at $3 per loaf. Firm B pays consumers $20,000 in wages. In addition to the 30,000 loaves of bread consumers buy from firm B, consumers import and consume 35,000 loaves of bread, and they pay $1 per loaf for this imported bread. Calculate gross domestic product using (a) the product approach, (b) the expenditure approach, and (c) the income approach. a.
