Solution

The correct answer is a. i, iii.

Explanation:

i. This statement is correct. Nominal GDP is the market value of all final goods and services produced in a country in a given period. It can increase due to an increase in production, an increase in prices, or both. So, it's possible that a country's Nominal GDP increases while it produces more, less, or the same amount of goods and services.

ii. This statement is incorrect. Nominal GDP is not always larger than Real GDP. Nominal GDP is based on current market prices, while Real GDP is adjusted for inflation. If there is deflation (a decrease in prices), Nominal GDP could be less than Real GDP.

iii. This statement is correct. Nominal GDP is a widely used measure for a country’s economic performance using current prices, due to its convenience of calculation and interpretation.

iv. This statement is incorrect. Real GDP controls for changes in prices, but not for changes in preferences. It measures the value of economic output adjusted for price changes (inflation or deflation).
