Manufacturing products and services are all produced by the domestic economy. However, for each year, 3/4 of the primary products is imported, and 1/4 is produced domestically. Set 1973 as the base year.Find the % change in prices for primary products, manufacturing products and services, respectively, from 1973 to 1974. Find the CPI for both years. Calculate the corresponding inflation rate from 1973 to 1974. Find the nominal and real GDP for both years. Hence, find the GDP deflator for both years. Calculate the corresponding inflation rate from 1973 to 1974. The above table is set up in such a way to mimic the actual data of the inflation rates calculated from the CPI and the GDP deflator, respectively, for the US during the first oil crisis in 1973- 1974.
