The nominal GDP for the UK and Germany was 2.75 and 3.75 trillion USD in 2013. If the inflation rate in 2014 was 2%, and the nominal GDP was 3.0 and 3.9 trillion respectively in 2014, find the real GDP in 2014 of the two countries in terms of 2013 prices. (set 2013 to be your base year)
Real GDP of UK in 2014 = 2.941
Base year 2013- Price Index =100
Nominal GDP of UK in 2014=3.0
Inflation Rate =2%
Therefore price index of UK in 2014= 100+2=102
Real GDP of UK in 2014 = Nominal GDP of UK in 2014÷Price index of UK in 2014×100
=>3.0÷102×100= 2.941
Real GDP of Germany in 2014 = 3.823
Base year 2013- Price Index =100
Nominal GDP of UK in 2014=3.9
Inflation Rate =2%
Therefore price index of Germany in 2014= 100+2=102
Real GDP of Germany in 2014 = Nominal GDP of Germany in 2014÷Price index of Germany in 2014×100
=>3.9÷102×100= 3.823
