GDP and CPI: Tracking the Macroeconomy — End of Chapter Question 4. The small economy of Pizzania produces three goods (bread, cheese, and pizza), each produced by a separate company. The bread and cheese companies produce all the inputs they need to make bread and cheese, respectively. The pizza company uses the bread and cheese from the other companies to make its pizzas. All three companies employ labor to help produce their goods, and the difference between the value of goods sold and the sum of labor and input costs is the firm's profit. The accompanying table summarizes the activities of the three companies when all the bread and cheese produced are sold to the pizza company as inputs in the production of pizzas. a. Calculate GDP as the value added in production. $ b. Calculate GDP as spending on final goods and services. $ c. Calculate GDP as factor income. $

The small economy of Pizzania produces three goods three goods (bread, cheese and pizza), each produced by a seperate company. The bread and cheese companies produce all the inputs they need to make bread and cheese, respectively. The pizza company uses the bread and cheese from the other companies to make its pizzas. All three companies employ labor to help produce their goods, and the differences between the value of goods sold and the sum of labor and input costs in the firm's profit. The accompanying table summarizes the activities of the three companies when all the bread and cheese produced are sold to the pizza company as inputs in the production of pizzas. a. Calculate GDP as the value added in production. b. Calculate GDP as spending on final goods and services. c. Calculate GDP as factor income.
a. $200 To calculate GDP as the value added in production, for each firm, find the difference between the value of the firm's output and the cost of the firm's inputs. Add those differences together to find GDP. To calculate GDP as the value added in production, we need to sum all value added (value of output minus the value of intermediate goods) for each company. Value added in the bread company is $50; in the cheese company $35; and in the pizza company, $115 (200-50-35). The total value added in production is$200 (50+35+115). b. $200 To calculate GDP as spending on final goods and services, the values of intermediate goods are ignored. In this exercise, only the value of the final good will be included. So spending on all final goods and services is $200. c. $200 To calculate GDP as factor income, we need to sum factor income(wages and profits) for each firm. For the bread company, factor income is $50: labor earns $15 and profit is $35. For the cheese company, factor income is $35: labor earns $20 and profit is $15. For the pizza company, factor income is $115: labor earns $75 and profit is $40(200-75-50-35). Factor income is $200(50+35+115).
GDP and CPI: Tracking the Macroeconomy — End of Chapter Questions 4. In the economy of Pizzania, bread and cheese produced are sold both to the pizza company for inputs in the production of pizzas and to consumers as final goods. The accompanying table summarizes the activities of the three companies. a. Calculate GDP as the value added in production. $ b. Calculate GDP as spending on final goods and services. $ c. Calculate GDP as factor income. $
a. $275 To calculate GDP as the value added in production, for each firm, find the difference between the value of the firm's output and the cost of the firm's inputs. Add those differences together to find GDP. To calculate GDP as the value added in production, we need to sum all value added (value of output minus the value of intermediate goods) for each company. Value added in the bread company is $100; in the cheese company $60; and in the pizza company, $115 (200-50-35). The total value added in production is$275 (100+60+115). b. $275 To calculate GDP as spending on final goods and services, the values of intermediate goods are ignored. In this exercise, only the value of the final good will be included. So spending on all final goods and services is $275. c. $275 To calculate GDP as factor income, we need to sum factor income (labor and profits) for each firm. For the bread company, factor income is $100: labor earns $25 and profit is $75. For the cheese company, factor income is $60: labor earns $30 and profit is $30. For the pizza company, factor income is $115: labor earns $75 and profit is $40 (200-75-50-35). As factor income, GDP equals $275(100+60+115).

GDP and the CPI: Tracking the Macroeconomy - End of Chapter Problems 8. The accompanying table shows data on nominal GDP (in billions of dollars), real GDP (in billions of 2009 dollars), and population (in thousands) of the United States in 1965, 1975, 1985, 1995, 2005, and 2015. The U.S. price level rose consistently over the 1965‑2015 period. a. Why is real GDP greater than nominal GDP for all years until 2005 and lower for 2015? The value of GDP fell dramatically after 2005. There was inflation until 2005 and deflation after 2005. 2009 is the base year, and prices rose from 1965 to 2015. Because 2009 is the base year, real and nominal GDP in years prior to 2009 are equal, but price changes post‑2009 drove them apart. b. Calculate the percent change in real GDP for the following periods (round answers to the nearest tenth): 1965‑1975: % 1975‑1985: % 1985‑1995: % 1995‑2005: % 2005‑2015: % Which period had the highest growth rate? 1965‑1975 1975‑1985 1985‑1995 1995‑2005 2005‑2015
