In 2005, the economy was able to produce 500,000 sets of spinning rims at a price of $200 per set. By what amount did real GDP increase between 2004 and 2005 in the simple one good economy

Answer 1

Answer:

Zero Increase in Real GDP between 2004 and 2005.

Explanation:

Nominal value of GDP in 2004

Nomina Value = $100 x 500,000

Nominal Value = $50,000,000

Nominal value of GDP in 2005

Nominal value = $200 x 500,000

Nominal value = $100,000,000

We can find Real GDP amount by multiplying base year price by current year quantity.

Real GDP = Base year price x Current year quantity

Real GDP = $100 x 500,0000

Ral GDP = $50,000,000
