Answer 1

Answer:

Nominal GDP is $74,437.50

Real GDP is $37,250

Explanation:

The computation of the nominal GDP is shown below:

Year 2 = Corn bread quantity × corn bread price + Software quantity × software price

= 125 × $1.5 + 825 × $90

= $187.50 + $74,250

= $74,437.50

And, the computation of the real GDP equals to

= Year 1 corn bread price  × year 2 corn bread quantity +  Year 1 software price  × year 2 software quantity

= $1 × 125 + $45 × 825

= $125 + $37,125

= $37,250
