Question
There are only two goods produced in "Economicsland", food and clothing and 2020 is the base year. In 2020, 20 units of food are produced at a price of 30/unit. In 2021, 30 units of food are produced at a price of 35/unit. What is the real GDP in the second year (2021)?Multiple choice question.350600
Solution
To calculate the real GDP, we use the prices from the base year (2020) and the quantities from the year we are interested in (2021).
Step 1: Calculate the value of food produced in 2021 using 2020 prices: 20 units of food were produced in 2020 at a price of 10/unit = $300.
Step 2: Calculate the value of clothing produced in 2021 using 2020 prices: 5 units of clothing were produced in 2020 at a price of 30/unit = $300.
Step 3: Add the values from step 1 and step 2 to get the real GDP for 2021: 300 (value of clothing) = $600.
So, the real GDP in the second year (2021) is $600.
