### Understanding GDP Calculations with Real Data: Tuland's Economy

The economy of Tuland produces only two products: shirts and calculators. The following information is available for production and prices of Tuland's products for the years 2009 and 2010. 

#### Product Data:
| Year  | Quantity of Shirts | Quantity of Calculators | Price of Shirts | Price of Calculators |
|-------|---------------------|-------------------------|-----------------|----------------------|
| 2009  | 180                 | 60                      | $10.00          | $30.00               |
| 2010  | 189                 | 69                      | $11.50          | $32.40               |

Using the above information, calculate the following values. *(Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places.)*

1. **GDP for 2009 in 2009's Prices:**
2. **GDP for 2009 in 2010's Prices:**
3. **GDP for 2010 in 2009's Prices:**
4. **GDP for 2010 in 2010's Prices:**

Additionally, analyze the following:

5. **Percentage Change in the Price Level with 2009 as the Base Year:**
   - *Note: Compute the GDP deflator first.*
   
6. **Percentage Change in the Price Level with 2010 as the Base Year:**
   - *Note: Compute the GDP deflator first.*

7. **Geometric Average of the Two Inflation Rates:**

### Explanation of GDP Calculation:

#### GDP in Constant Prices (Real GDP):
- **For 2009 in 2009's Prices (Base Year 2009):**
  \[
  \text{GDP} = (\text{Quantity of Shirts} \times \text{Price of Shirts}) + (\text{Quantity of Calculators} \times \text{Price of Calculators})
  \]

  Applying the above formula for 2009's quantities and prices,
  \[
  \text{GDP}_{2009}^{2009} = (180 \times 10) + (60 \times 30) = 1800 + 1800 = \$3600
  \]

- **For 2010 in 2009's Prices (Base Year 2009):**
  \[
  \text{GDP}_{2010}^{2009} = (189 \times 10)
