What is the nominal GDP for year 3?

Answer 1

Answer:

Year 1: $32,316

Year 2: $49,924

Year 3: $10,998

Explanation:

1. Nominal GDP in year 1 = (gdp deflator * real GDP)/100
    = (105 * $30,777)/100
    = 1.05 * $30,777
    = $32,315.85 ~ $32,316

2. Nominal GDP in year 2 = (gdp deflator * real GDP)/100
    = (123 * $40,589)/100
    = 1.23 * $40,589
    = $49,924.47 ~ $49,924

3.Nominal GDP in year 3 = (gdp deflator * real GDP)/100
    = (100 * $10,998)/100
    = $10,998
