Assume yoar 1is the Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Price Quantity Price QuantityPrice Quantity $4 $3 Chocolate Bars $5 S6 Trail Mix $5 $4 24. In which year does nominal GDP equal real GDP? a. Year 1 b. Year 2 C. Year 3 d. None of the above 25. Nominal GDP in year 2 is equal to a. b. $22 $30 . S32 d. None of the above 26. Real GDP in year 3 is equal to a. $38 b. $54 C. $55 d. None of the above 27.

Between years 1 and 2, the inflation rate (as calculated by the GDP deflator) is a. b. c, d. 26.67% deflation Neither inflation nor deflation 36.36% inflation 136.36% inflation

Explanation / Answer

24.

a. year 1

because Year 1 is base year, so due to which real GDP and nominal GDP are equal

25.

nominal GDP year 2=5*4+5*2=30

26.

real GDP year 3=4*5+3*6=38

27.

GDP deflator=(nominal GDP year 2/real GDP year 2)*100

=((5*4+5*2)/(4*4+3*2))*100

=136.36

28.

inflation rate=136.36/100-1

=36.36%

the above is answer..
