Now, assume that in year 3, the output mix changes again to 3 quarts of ice cream, 1 bottles of shampoo, and 3 jars of peanut butter. Consider the year 1 as the base year. 2.1. If the prices in year 3 are $5 per quart for ice cream, $4 per bottle of shampoo, and $3 per jar of peanut butter, what is the economy’s real GDP in year3? Place your answer here. 2.2. Compute nominal GDP, real GDP, and GDP price index in the year 1 and year 2. Complete the table below and show the calculation. Note that the base year is the year where the index is 100. To calculate GDP price index, you have to divide the price of a collection of goods and services in the specific year (year 2 or year 3) by the price for the same goods and services in a base year (year 1) multiplied by 100. Nominal GDP is then divided by the price index (in hundredths) to determine real GDP. Table 1.

Please note I have completed some of this myself, however I need you to finish it up. Thanks!
- Suppose that annual output in year 1 in a 3-good economy is 3 quarts of ice cream, 1 bottle of shampoo, and 3 jars of peanut butter. In year 2, the output mix changes to 5 quarts of ice cream, 2 bottles of shampoo, and 2 jars of peanut butter.
- If the prices in both years are $4 per quart for ice cream, $3 per bottle of shampoo, and $2 per jar of peanut butter, what was the economy’s nominal
GDP in year 1? Show the calculation. Year one (3*$4)+(1*$3)=$12+$3+$6=$21
- If the prices in both years are $4 per quart for ice cream, $3 per bottle of shampoo, and $2 per jar of peanut butter, what was the economy’s nominal
Recall that GDP is the core measure of an economy's health. Nominal GDP (also known as current–dollar economic statistics) is not adjusted to account for any
To get a real picture of a nation's
In this case, you have to follow a several steps. The first step is to find the value of each good consumed. The second step is to add up the nominal value for the goods for each year separately.
Place your answer here. Year one: $21
1.2. What was its nominal GDP in year 2? Show the calculation.
Place your answer here. (5+$4)+(1*$3)+(3*$2)=$12+$3+$6=$30
- Now, assume that in year 3, the output mix changes again to 3 quarts of ice cream, 1 bottles of shampoo, and 3 jars of peanut butter. Consider the year 1 as the base year.
2.1. If the prices in year 3 are $5 per quart for ice cream, $4 per bottle of shampoo, and $3 per jar of peanut butter, what is the economy’s real GDP in year3?
Place your answer here.
2.2. Compute nominal GDP, real GDP, and GDP price index in the year 1 and year 2. Complete the table below and show the calculation.
Note that the base year is the year where the index is 100. To calculate GDP price index, you have to divide the price of a collection of goods and services in the specific year (year 2 or year 3) by the price for the same goods and services in a base year (year 1) multiplied by 100. Nominal GDP is then divided by the price index (in hundredths) to determine real GDP.
