Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Nominal GDP = Sum of (Present Year Price ├Ч Present Year Quantity)

And, ┬а

Real GDP = Sum of (Base Year Price ├Ч Present Year Quantity)

Now

(a) Nominal GDP, 2000 is

= $[(7 ├Ч 600) + (70 ├Ч 20) + (300 ├Ч 5)]

= $4,200 + $1,400 + $1,500

= $7,100

(b) Nominal GDP, 2001 is

= $[(3 ├Ч 400) + (20 ├Ч 90) + (300 ├Ч 5)]

= ($1,200 + $1,800 + $1,500)

= $4,500

(c) Real GDP, 2000 is

= $[(3 ├Ч 600) + (20 ├Ч 20) + (300 ├Ч 5)]

= $1,800 + $400 + 1,500

= $3,700

(d) Real GDP, 2001 is

= $[(3 ├Ч 400) + (20 ├Ч 90) + (300 ├Ч 5)]

= $1,200 + $1,800 + $1,500

= $4,500
