Question

Suppose Rob, an avid golfer, spent a total of $3000 on green fees for the 100 rounds of golf he played in 2018 and a total of $2800 on green fees for the 100 rounds of golf he played (on the same courses) in 2019. Rob's nominal consumption of golf in 2019 was _____ his nominal consumption level in 2018 and his real consumption of golf in 2019 was _____ his real consumption level in 2018.

Answer 1

Answer: less than; thesame as

Step-by-step explanation:

Nominal values refers to the current prices for goods and inflation isn't considered in this case. Real values take inflation into consideration, and in this case adjustments are made for price changes.

Based on the information given, Rob's nominal consumption of golf in 2019 will be lower than his nominal consumption level in 2018 because he spent $2800 in 2019 and $3000 in 2018.

Also, his real consumption of golf in 2019 was thesame as his real consumption level in 2018 because played 100 rounds of golf in both years.
