Consider an illustrative economy that produces luxury pens. Assume that in 2012 this economy produced 30

luxury pens at a market price of $300 per pen. In 2013?, the number of luxury pens produced remains the same but the market price has increased to

?$400 per pen. If 2012 is the base? year, the real GDP in 2013 is $________

The nominal GDP in 2013 has

rate of real GDP

Answer 1

In 2012,

Nominal GDP = 30 * $300 = $9,000

In 2013,

Nominal GDP = 30 * $400 = $12,000

Real GDP = 30 * $300 = $9,000

The real GDP in 2013 is $9,000.

Percentage change in nominal GDP = [(Nominal GDP in 2013 - Nominal GDP in 2012)/Nominal GDP in 2012] * 100

Percentage change in nominal GDP = [($12,000 - $9,000)/$9,000)] * 100 = 33.33%

Thus,

The nominal GDP in 2013 has increased by 33.33% from what it was the year before.

Following equations represents quantity theiry of money -

1. Growth rate of money suplpy = Inflation + growth rate of real GDP

2. Growth rate of money supply = Growth rate of nominal GDP

Hence, the correct answer is the option (C) and (D).
