Use the information above to calculate:

1. Nominal GDP for 2020 and 2021

2. Real GDP for 2020 and 2021, using 2020 as the base year

3. Real GDP per capita for 2020 and 2021, if the population for both years is 100 people

Respuesta :

1. The nominal GDP for 2020 and 2021 is as follows:

2020 = $330

2021 = $592

2. The Real GDP for 2020 and 2021, using 2020 as the base year is as follows:

2020 = $330

2021 = $508 ($592/1.165)

3/ The Real GDP per capita for 2020 and 2021 using a population of 100 is as follows:

2020 = $3.30 per capita

2021 = $5/08 per capita

What is the difference between the Nominal GDP and the Real GDP?

The nominal GDP uses current prices while the Real GDP adjusts the current prices using the GDP deflator (thus accounting for inflation).

Data and Calculations:

                      Car                          Trucks

            Quantity    Price       Quantity    Price     Nominal GDP

2020      12              $10             15           $14     $330 (12 x $10 + 15 x $14)

2021      20              $12           22           $16     $592 (20 x $12 + 22 x $16)

2021 Real GDP:

              20            $10          22            $14      $508 (20 x $10 + 22 x $14)

GDP Deflator = Nominal GDP/Real GDP x 100

= $592/$508

= 1.165

Thus, while nominal GDP is based on current prices, the real GDP removes the effects of inflation.
