1. Calculate HappylandRepublic’s nominal GDP, real GDP in 2020. Also, calculate the GDP deflator if 2019 is used as the base year.                

 

2. Double counting must be avoided when measuring GDP. State and examine four (4) transactions that are excluded from GDP to avoid overstating the size of the economy of a nation.
