- Consider a simple economy that produces two goods: cheese and wine. The following table shows the prices and quantities of the goods over a three-year period. Please explain the formulas you used to get your answer.

Use 2017 as the base year. Fill in the cells in the table below and submit it in your answer. In your answer. Year Nominal GDP RGDP GDP deflator 2018 2019 2020arrow_forward4. GDP and Related Measures Suppose an economy produces only 2 products that will also be used for direct consumption, as per the article at the end of the exam: chicken wings and donuts. In the second quarter of 2021 (the base period), 180,000 pounds of chicken wings were produced, at a value of $3.50 per pound, while in the second quarter of 2022, production of chicken wings increased to 200,000 pounds, at a value of $3.75 per pound. In the second quarter of 2021 (the base period), 85,000 donuts were produced at a value of $0.85 per donut, while in the second quarter of 2022, donut production increased to 100,000 donuts, each at a value of $0.95 per donut. The population in this economy is 1000 individuals in 2022, while the number of hours worked in 2022 is 5000. Also, the quantities that were produced in 2021 represent the quantities that were purchased by the typical household, meaning that everything that was produced was sold. a.

Consider an economy that produces and consumes bread and cars. The data for two differentyears are as follows:Year 2000 Year 2010Goods Quantity Price Quantity PriceCars 100 $ 50,000 120 $ 60,000Bread 500,000 $ 10 400,000 $ 20 a) Use the year 2000 as the base year, compute the Nominal GDP for each year (both 2000 and2010). b) Use the year 2000 as the base year, compute the Real GDP for each year (both 2000 and2010) c) Compute the implicit price deflator in year 2010 and use it to explain how the price level haschanged from year 2000 to 2010. (Note: implicit price deflator = GDP Deflator). 2. Consider a Cobb-Douglas production function with three inputs. K is capital (the number ofmachines), L is labor (the number of workers), and H is human capital (the number of collegedegrees among the workers) . The production function isarrow_forward
- Carl B. Cotton owns a 10-acre farm filled with cotton plants. Each year he hires a few workers to pick the cotton and he sells it to Candy's Cloth for $5,000. Candy uses the cotton to makes bolts of cloth that she sells for $9,000 to Ted's T-Shirts. Ted makes t-shirts with the cloth and sells the shirts to consumers for a total of $12,000.
