1, Refer to Table 2. The value for GDP in billions of dollars is

GDP = C + I + G + x - M I = Gross investment = Net investment + depreciation = 150 + 30 = 180GDP = 500 + 180 + 90 + 60 – 40 = 790

2. Refer to Table 2, The value for GNP in billions of dollars is

GNP = GDP + receipts of factors of production from the rest of the world – payments of factors of production to the rest of the world = 790 + 20 – 40 = 770

NNP= GNP – Depreciation = 770 – 30 = 740

4. Refer to Table 2, The value for national income in billions of dollars is

National Income = NNP – Indirect taxes + subsidiesNational income = 740 – 0 + 0 = 740

2. Refer to Table 3, The value for GNP in millions of dollars is

Calculate GDP Deflator and Inflation in the following cases

If year 1 is the base year, the value of GDP deflator in year 2

( Nominal GDP in Y2 / Real GDP12) x 100 (P2.q2 / P1.q2 ) 100x

= ( 150 / 135 ) x 100 = 111.1

If year 2 is the base year, the value of GDP deflator in year 1

( Nominal GDP in Y1 / Real GDP22 ) x 100 (P1.q1 / P2.q1 ) 100x

( 110 / 150 ) x 100 = 73.3

In this case the Inflation rate between year 1 and 2 = 111.1 11.1 = 100 ـــ %

Calculate GDP Deflator and Inflation in the following cases

If year 1 is the base year, the value of GDP deflator in year 3

( Nominal GDP in Y3 / Real GDP13) x 100 (P3.q3 / P1.q3 ) 100x

= ( 250 / 178 ) x 100 = 140.4

If year 3 is the base year, the value of GDP deflator in year 1

( Nominal GDP in Y1 / Real GDP 31 ) x 100 (P1.q1 / P3.q1 ) 100x

( 250 / 160 ) x 100 = 156.2

In this case the Inflation rate between year 1 and 3 = 140.4 40.4 = 100 ـــ %
