Question

Suppose an economy produces only cranberries and maple syrup. In 2010, 50 units of cranberries are sold at $20 per unit and 100 units of maple syrup are sold at $8 per unit. In 2009, the base year, the price of cranberries was $10 per unit and the price of maple syrup was $15 per unit. For 2010

a. nominal GDP is $1800, real GDP is $2000, and the GDP deflator is 90.b. nominal GDP is $1800, real GDP is $2000, and the GDP deflator is 111.1.c. nominal GDP is $2000, real GDP is $1800, and the GDP deflator is 90.d. nominal GDP is $2000, real GDP is $1800, and the GDP deflator is 111.1.

Answer 1

a. nominal GDP is $1800, real GDP is $2000, and the GDP deflator is 90

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Nominal GDP is GDP calculated using current year prices.

Real GDP is GDP calculated using base year prices.

Nominal GDP = (50 × $20) + (100 × $8)

= $1800

Real GDP = (50 × $10) + (100 x $15) = $2000

GDP =( nominal GDP/ real GDP) × 100

($1800/$2000) x 100 = 90

I hope my answer helps you

Answer 2

A. 90

Step-by-step explanation:

nominal GDP = 50*20 + 100*8 = 1800

real GDP = 50*10 + 100*15 = 2000

GDP deflator = (nominal GDP/ real GDP)*100 = (1800/2000)*100 = 90
