This economy only produces two goods, milk and cookies. The base year is given as 2013. Using table: Milk and Cookies, find the real GDP of 2014. 

 

**Table: Milk and Cookies**

|            | 2013 Output | 2013 Prices | 2014 Output | 2014 Prices |
|------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
| Milk       | 107         | 1           | 141         | 3           |
| Cookies    | 215         | 4           | 242         | 6           |

This economy only produces two goods: milk and cookies. The base year is given as 2013. Using the table provided for Milk and Cookies, find the real GDP of 2014.

**Explanation:**

To calculate the real GDP of 2014 using the base year prices of 2013, use the formula:

Real GDP = (Output in 2014 * Prices in 2013)

For Milk:
Real GDP (Milk) = 141 * 1 = 141

For Cookies:
Real GDP (Cookies) = 242 * 4 = 968

Total Real GDP for 2014 = 141 (Milk) + 968 (Cookies) = 1109

Therefore, the real GDP of 2014 at 2013 prices is 1109.
