3. Suppose an economy has two years worth of data, years 1 and 2. Sup- pose there are also two goods, bread and corn. Suppose, in year one, 30 units of corn are sold at a price of 1 $ and 20 units of bread are sold at a price of 2 S. Suppose in year two, 60 units of corn are sold at a price of 1.5 $ and 80 units of bread are sold at a price of 4 $. Compute nominal GDP in both periods. Compute real GDP under both defini tions of a base year. Compute also a chain weighted real GDP series. For all three measures, compute the GDP deflator

Suppose that federal spending in a country was $340 million in Year 1, $400 million in Year 2, and $410 million in Year 3. Also, assume that the consumer price index (CPI) was 30 in Year 1, 31.2 in Year 2, and 34.4 in Year 3. a. Complete the table below by converting the given nominal dollar values to Year 3 dollars (these dollar amounts represent real federal spending).
