Suppose that a simple economy produces only the following four goods and services: shoes, hamburgers, shirts, and cotton. Further, assume that all of the cotton is used in the production of shirts. Use the information in the following table to calculate Nominal Gross Domestic Product (Nominal GDP) for 2021. Product - Shoes: Quantity: 100, Price: $60.00 - Hamburgers: Quantity: 100, Price: $2.00 - Shirts: Quantity: 50, Price: $25.00 - Cotton: Quantity: 1,800, Price: 0.60 The Nominal GDP for the year 2021 is ___________
$7450
Use the data in the following table to calculate the GDP deflator for each year (values are in billions of dollars, enter your response rounded to two decimal places -- remember to multiply by 100). Year Nominal GDP Real GDP - 2014: $17,527 $16,912 - 2015: $18,238 $17,432 - 2016: $18,745 $17,731 - 2017: $19,543 $18,144 - 2018: $20,612 $18,688
GDP Deflator: (normal GDP/real GDP x 100) - 2014: 103.64 - 2015: 104.62 - 2016: 105.72 - 2017: 107.71 - 2018: 110.30
