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.So,in2021,25unitsoffood(thequantityproducedin2021)wouldbevaluedat25units10/unit. So, in 2021, 25 units of food (the quantity produced in 2021) would be valued at 25 units * 10/unit = $250.

Step 2: Calculate the value of clothing produced in 2021 using 2020 prices: 15 units of clothing were produced in 2020 at a price of 25/unit.So,in2021,20unitsofclothing(thequantityproducedin2021)wouldbevaluedat20units25/unit. So, in 2021, 20 units of clothing (the quantity produced in 2021) would be valued at 20 units * 25/unit = $500.

Step 3: Add the values from step 1 and step 2 to get the real GDP for 2021: 250(valueoffood)+250 (value of food) + 500 (value of clothing) = $750.

So, the real GDP in the second year (2021) is $750.
