Given the information in the table below, what is country B's real aggregate product in A$ at constant purchasing power of year 2 for years 1, 2, and 3 respectively? Remember: step 1, make sure that the general price index has the correct base year; step 2, transform the nominal aggregate product in B$ into the real aggregate product in B$ using the correct general price index; and step 3, transform the real aggregate product in B$ into the real aggregate product in A$ using the correct exchange rate (and pay attention that exchanges rates are B$/A$, so you may need to use division or multiplication).

Suppose that nominal GDP was $8 trillion in 2040 in Atlantis. In 2050, nominal GDP was $10 trillion in Atlantis. The price level rose 19.0% between 2040 and 2050, and population growth was 14.0% Between 2040 and 2050 in Atlantis, nominal GDP growth was answers to one decimal place. % and economic growth was Give your
Consider a simple economy that produces only three goods. Assume that all goods produced are consumed in same period (no inventories). Following table provides information on price and quantity produced and consumed of each of three goods: 2021 2021 2022 2022 Price Quantity Price Quantity Good 1 25 25 40 33 Good 2 45 45 60 35 Good 3 80 50 90 45 Calculate nominal and real GDP for both years using 2021 as the base year. Then calculate inflation rate derived from the GDP deflator and real GDP growth between 2021 and 2022. Calculate Consumer Price Index (CPI) for each year using share of consumption of each product in 2021 as a weight. Then find CPI inflation rate between 2021 and 2022. Is this inflation rate different from GDP deflator inflation rate? Discuss reasons for differences, if any. True, false or uncertain? Above results show that GDP deflator is worse than CPI for measuring changes in average prices in economy. Comment

GDP and CPI: Tracking the Macroeconomy- End of Chapter Problem How might the current weighting of CPI lead to either an overstatement or understatement of the actual inflation rate experienced by households? The percentage shares of different types of spending change from year to year. Most households' consumption habits devitate somewhat from those of the "typical" household. The CPI uses only a handful of products to construct its market basket, whereas most households consume a wide variety of products. The base period used to construct the CPI is 1982-84, whereas consumption patterns have changed since then.
