Answer:

= $147.12

Explanation:

First, we determine the amount received by Mother in 199 9= $100

Based on this,

The Consumer Price Index in 1999 = 166.6

The Consumer Price Index in 2017 = 245.1

We then calculate the amount it would cost in 2017 to buy similar goods bought by mother in 1999

= Value in 2017 = Amount received in 1999 x (2017 CPI / 1999 CPI)

= $100 x (245.1/166.6)

=  $100 x 1.471

= $147.12

This means that the baby shower gift received at $100 in 1999 will cost  $147.12 to buy in 2017.

Although GDP is a reasonably good measure of a nation's output. It does not necessarily include all transactions and production
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Options (a), (b) and (d) are correct.

Explanation:

Gross domestic product refers to the total value of production of goods and services during a period of time within the boundaries of the nation. GDP of a nation also represents the standard of living of that nation. If the GDP of a nation increases then it is assumed that the standard of living of that nation also increases.

But there are some flaws or loopholes in this assumption as non-marketing activities and the underground economy makes the GDP an imperfect measure of a particular economic activity.

Is doesn't includes the quality of goods received by the consumers as it doesn't contribute towards GDP of a nation.

It doesn't takes into account the non-market activities such as self service and house work. If a person is cleaning his home then this doesn't contribute towards GDP but if he hires someone to do the same job then then this will contribute towards the calculation of GDP as it is counted as a consumption expenditure.

Loss of enjoyment will also not counted while determining the GDP.

Government pay checks to soldiers will be included in the GDP because it increases the GDP of a nation.
