U. S. real gross domestic product changed from $14.6 trillion in 2006 to $14.4 trillion in 2009. During that same time period, the share of manufactured goods (e. g., cars, appliances) of U. S. real gross domestic product was 12.8 percent in 2006 and 12.0 percent in 2009. What was the dollar value of manufactured output Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places. If you are entering any negative numbers be sure to include a negative sign (-) in front of those numbers. a. In 2006

Missing word "b. In 2009"

a. Dollar value (2006) = Real GDP (2006) * Share of manufacturing goods (2006) / 100

Dollar value (2006) = 14.6 * 12.8 / 100

Dollar value (2006) = 186.88 / 100

Dollar value (2006) = $1.8688 trillion

Dollar value (2006) = $1.87 trillion

Thus, the dollar value of manufactured output in 2006 is $1.9 trillion

b. Dollar value (2009) = Real GDP (2009) * Share of manufacturing goods (2009) / 100

Dollar value (2009) = 14.4 * 12.0 / 100

Dollar value (2009) = 172.8 / 100

Dollar value (2009) = $1.728 trillion

Dollar value (2009) = $1.73 trillion

Thus, the dollar value of manufactured output in 2009 is $1.7 trillion
