SECTION B: Computations Question 2 - Students are required to show ALL workings to be awarded the full marks for each part of this question. a. Consider an economy that produces bread and cars. In the table 2.1 below are data for the different years: Table 2.1 Price of a loaf of bread Year 2008 Year 2018 $10 $20 Number of loaves of bread 500,000 400,000 Price of a car $50,000 $60,000 100 120 Number of cars produced Using the year 2008 as the base year, compute the following for each year: Nominal GDP i. ii. Real GDP iii. How much have prices risen between year 2008 and 2018? b. Consider the scenario. The country Global-Land is really small and only has 500 inhabitants. In 2023 in total, they spend ECD 200,000 per year on food, ECD 200,000 on clothing, and ECD 100,000 on public and private transport.

In addition to that, the government contributes ECD 500,000 to fix broken roads and highways throughout the year. In addition, Global-Land total domestically produced goods and services is worth ECD 1,500,000 this year. In the meantime, the country also purchase foreign goods and services is worth ECD 1,000,000. i. Using the information provided in the scenario, calculate GDP using the expenditure approach. Please show all components of each measure. Table 2.1 ii. Further information on the activities of the Juice industry in 2023 is provided in table 2.1 below in millions of Eastern Caribbean dollars (ECD). ECD million 0 300 30 275 Subsidies Gross national product at market prices Imports Net national product Exports Net national product at factor cost Personal savings 30 260 15 Personal income 225 Government transfer payments 5 Undistributed corporate profits 20 Government expenditure on commodities 40 160 Personal consumption Using the following Global-Land 2022 data in table 2.1 provide Estimates of the Following Key National Accounting Aggregates: i.
