Answer 1

Nominal GDP in year 1 = $16

Nominal GDP in year 2 = $25

Nominal GDP in year 3 = $36

Step-by-step explanation:

Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year

GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export

Net export = exports – imports

Nominal GDP is GDP calculated using current year prices

Nominal GDP in year 1 = 4 x $4 = $16

Nominal GDP in year 2 = 5 x $5 = $25

Nominal GDP in year 3 = 6 x $6 = $36
