From 2013 to 2014, nominal GDPdecreased , and real GDPdecreased .

The inflation rate in 2014 was .

Why is real GDP a more accurate measure of an economy's production than nominal GDP?
a. Real GDP is not influenced by price changes, but nominal GDP is.
b. Real GDP does not include the value of intermediate goods and services, but nominal GDP does.
c. Real GDP includes the value of exports, but nominal GDP does not.

The complete table is attached.

Explanation:

Use the fact that nominal GDP = price of cupcake in current year x quantity of cupcake in current year + price of envelope in current year x quantity of envelope in current year

Real GDP = price of cupcake in base year x quantity of cupcake in current year + price of envelope in base year x quantity of envelope in current year

We find that, for example, nominal GDP 2013 = 4*150 + 2*180 = 960 while real GDP 2013 = 2*150 + 5*180 = 1200.

Hence deflator 2013 = nominal GDP 2013/Real GDP 2013 = 960/1200 = 80.

From 2013 to 2014, nominal GDP decreased   , and real GDP decreased   .

The inflation rate in 2014 (42 - 80)*100/80 = -47.50%

Real GDP is a more accurate measure because it is not influenced by price changes, but nominal GDP is.
