Consider an economy with two goods, cheese and salad. Suppose that the prices and quantities sold in 2012 and 2013 are the following:
|
Good |
2012 Price |
2013 Price |
2012 Quantity |
2013 Quantity |

a. Calculate the nominal GDP for 2012 and for 2013. Explain how you got your numbers.
b. Calculate the real GDP for 2013 using 2012 as a base year
c. Calculate the cost of the CPI basket if the market basket includes 2 cheese and 1 salad in 2012
a.
the nominal GDP for 2012
=(price*quantity)
=(10*10+15*5)
=175
the nominal GDP for 2013
=(price*quantity)
=(12*9+16*8)
=236
b.
Calculate the real GDP for 2013
=(price of 2012*quantity of 2013)
=(10*9+15*8)
=210
c.
the cost of the CPI basket in 2012=2*10+1*15=35
the cost of the CPI basket in 2013=2*12+1*16=40
