Question

 GDP deflator = (Nominal GDP/Real GDP) x 100

Nominal GDP = Current Price x Current Quantity
Nominal GDP (2020) = 10 x 4,000 + 30 x 1,000 = 40,000+30,000 = 70,000
Nominal GDP (2021) = 12 x 6,000 + 50 x 1,200 = 72,000 + 60,000 = 132,000

Real GDP = Base year price x Current Quantity
Real GDP (2020) = 10 x 4,000 + 30 x 1,000 = 40,000 + 30,000 = 70,000
Real GDP (2021) = 1..
