The chart gives prices and output information for the country of Utopia. Use this information to calculate real and nominal GDP for both years. Use 2017 as the base year. 2016 2017 Price Quantity Price Quantity Ice cream $7.00 600 $3.00 400 Blue jeans $70.00 20 $20.00 90 Laptops $300.00 5 $300.00 5

Nominal GDP 2016 = $7,100

REAL GDP 2016 = $3,700

Nominal GDP 2017 = $4,500

Real GDP 2017 = $4,500

Explanation:

To calculate the Nominal and Real GDPs we use the following formulas,

Nominal GDP = Sum of (Current Year Price x Current Year Quantity)

Real GDP = Sum of (Base Year Price x Current Year Quantity)

We make the assumption that 2017 is the base year so calculating would be,

Nominal GDP, 2016 = [(7 x 600) + (70 x 20) + (300 x 5)]

= $(4200 + 1400 + 1500)

= $7,100

Remember for this we will use 2017 as the base year so we will use 2017 prices

Real GDP, 2016 = [(3 x 600) + (20 x 20) + (300 x 5)]

= $(1800 + 400 + 1500)

= $3,700

Nominal GDP, 2017 = [(3 x 400) + (20 x 90) + (300 x 5)]

= $(1200 + 1800 + 1500)

= $4,500

Now seeing as 2017 is the base year, it's nominal and real GDPs will be the same.

Real GDP, 2017 = $[(3 x 400) + (20 x 90) + (300 x 5)]

= $(1200 + 1800 + 1500)

= $4,500

I included the details part of question so it is clearer.
