Compute: (Refer to the photo below for the given data) GDP NY
Suppose the following table records the total output and prices of rice and gasoline for an entire economy. This economy produces rice and gasoline only. Further suppose the base year is 2015. Rice Gasoline Year Price Quantity Price Quantity 2015 $8.00 500 $2.00 2000 2016 $9.00 600 $2.30 2000 2017 $10.00 600 $3.00 1800 (1) Compute nominal GDP for 2015, 2016, and 2017. (2) Compute real GDP for 2015, 2016, and 2017. (3) Compute GDP deflator for 2015, 2016, and 2017. (4) Calculate inflation rate from 2016 to 2017 using GDP deflator you calculated above. Write your calculation below:
1. Which of the following are included in this year’s GDP? Explain your answer in each. A 2-hour decrease in the length of the workweek. The purchase of an AT&T corporate bond. A $2 billion increase in business inventories.

Based on the above figure, the country of Kemper is on its aggregate production function at point W. The government of Kemper passes a law that makes 4 years of college mandatory for all…
5. Limitations of GDP Although GDP is a reasonably good measure of a nation's output, it does not necessarily include all transactions and production for that nation. Which of the following scenarios are either not accounted for or measured inaccurately by either the income or the expenditure methods of calculating GDP for the United States? Check all that apply. The value of babysitting services, when the babysitter is paid in cash and the transaction isn't reported to the government The costs of air and water pollution Federal government paychecks to soldiers The variety of goods available to consumers When a U.S. company purchases and imports wood from Brazil to use to build new houses within the United States, this purchase increases the component of GDP while also net exports by the same amount. Therefore, the purchase of wood from Brazil causes in US GDP.

1. Consider an economy that produces and consumes bread and cars. The data for two differentyears are as follows:Year 2000 Year 2010Goods Quantity Price Quantity PriceCars 100 $ 50,000 120 $ 60,000Bread 500,000 $ 10 400,000 $ 20 a) Use the year 2000 as the base year, compute the Nominal GDP for each year (both 2000 and2010). b) Use the year 2000 as the base year, compute the Real GDP for each year (both 2000 and2010) c) Compute the implicit price deflator in year 2010 and use it to explain how the price level haschanged from year 2000 to 2010. (Note: implicit price deflator = GDP Deflator). 2. Consider a Cobb-Douglas production function with three inputs. K is capital (the number ofmachines), L is labor (the number of workers), and H is human capital (the number of collegedegrees among the workers) . The production function is
