The chart below gives prices and output information for the country of Utopia. Use this information to calculate real and nominal GDP for both years. Use 2001 as the base year. Year 2000 2001
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
2000 nominal GDP = $
2001 nominal GDP = $
2000 real GDP = $
2001 real GDP = $

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Nominal GDP = Sum of (Present Year Price × Present Year Quantity)

And,  

Real GDP = Sum of (Base Year Price × Present Year Quantity)

Now

(a) Nominal GDP, 2000 is

= $[(7 × 600) + (70 × 20) + (300 × 5)]

= $4,200 + $1,400 + $1,500

= $7,100

(b) Nominal GDP, 2001 is

= $[(3 × 400) + (20 × 90) + (300 × 5)]

= ($1,200 + $1,800 + $1,500)

= $4,500

(c) Real GDP, 2000 is

= $[(3 × 600) + (20 × 20) + (300 × 5)]

= $1,800 + $400 + 1,500

= $3,700

(d) Real GDP, 2001 is

= $[(3 × 400) + (20 × 90) + (300 × 5)]

= $1,200 + $1,800 + $1,500

= $4,500

his average speed in km per hour is ≈ 55.4 km/h and about 15.4 m/s.
