Suppose the information in the following table is for a simple economy that produces only four goods and services: shoes, hamburgers, shirts, and cotton. Assume that shoes, hamburgers, and shirts are final goods and that all the cotton is used in the production of shirts. Calculate the GDP deflator for 2015. Use 2009 as the base year for the calculations. Provide your answer as a number rounded to two decimal places. Do not include any symbols, such as "$," "=," "%," or "," in your answer.
In an economy, Nominal GDP for year 2005 (base year = 1996) is $60 billion and the GDP deflator 2005 (base year = 1996) is 120. Calculate the Real GDP for 2005.
In an economy, Real GDP for year 2002 (base year = 1996) is $200 billion and the GDP deflator 2002 (base year = 1996) is 120. Calculate the Nominal GDP for 2002.
