Expert Solution

a) Computation of Base Price: 

Base price = Nominal GDP /Output 

= $189 billion/$45 billion 

= $4.2 billion

 

b) Computation of Real GDP for 2007:

Real GDP for 2007 = $189 billion.

Real GDP and nominal GDP for base year is always equal because in base year price level is 100.

 

c) Computation of Real GDP in 2008:

Increase in output = 20*45/100 = 900/100 = 9 billion

Total output in 2008 = 45+6 = 54 billion

Real GDP in 2008 = Output in 2008 * Price of Base Year = 54* 4.2 = $226.8 billion
