Question
Suppose in a given year, a country produces only two goods: 100 units of bread and 50 units of cheese. Bread sells for 5 per unit. What is the country's GDP for the year?
Solution
To calculate the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of a country, you need to add up the total value of all goods and services produced in that country within a given period. In this case, we only have two goods: bread and cheese.
Here are the steps to calculate the GDP:
-
First, calculate the total value of the bread produced. The country produces 100 units of bread, and each unit sells for 2/unit = $200.
-
Next, calculate the total value of the cheese produced. The country produces 50 units of cheese, and each unit sells for 5/unit = $250.
-
Finally, add the total value of the bread and the cheese to get the country's GDP. So, the GDP is 250 (cheese) = $450.
So, the country's GDP for the year is $450.
