Fill in the missing data in the following table. Give answers to
two decimals.
Year | Nominal GDP | Real GDP | GDP deflator |
2012 | $210,000 | $ | 100.0 |
2013 | $ | $215,000 | 110.0 |
2014 | $260,000 | $220,000 | |
2015 | $290,000 | $ | 125.0 |
2016 | $ | $240,000 | 130.0 |
Nominal GDP measures the the gross domestic product or output of the economy using current prices without adjusting for inflation. Real GDP measures the output using constant prices, taking into account for inflation. GDP deflator is measured by dividing nominal GDP by real GDP and multiplying it by 100. It measures the price inflation in the economy.
In 2012, the nominal GDP = 210,000, GDP deflator = 100,
So, 210,000/Real GDP * 100 = 100, so Real GDP = 210,000 * 100/100 = $ 210,000
In 2013, if real GDP = 215,000, GDP deflator = 110, Nominal GDP/215,000 * 100 = 110
Nominal GDP = 215,000 * 110/100 = $236,500
In 2014, Nominal GDP = 260,000, Real GDP = 220,000
GDP deflator = 260,000/220,000 * 100 = 118.18
In 2015: Nominal GDP = 290,000, GDP deflator = 125
= 290,000/Real GDP * 100 = 125
Real GDP = 290,000 * 100/125 = $232,000
In 2016: Real GDP = 240,000, GDP deflator = 130
Nominal GDP/240,000 * 100 = 130,
Nominal GDP = 130 * 240,000 / 100 = $312,000
