If 2012 is the base year, the real GDP in 2013 is $______. The nominal GDP in 2013 has ___(increased ir decreased)_____by ______percent from what it was the year before (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

rateplus+Growth

rate of real GDP.

Explanation / Answer

a. Nominal GDP

It measures the market value of all final goods and services produced within an economy during a given period of time.

b. Real GDP = Price2012 * Quantity2013

RGDP = 30 * 300 = $9000.

c. Nominal GDP = Price * quantity

NGDP in 2012 = 30*300 = $9000

NGDP in 2013 = 400 * 30 = $12000.

The nominal GDP has increased by 33.33%

d. Option D

Growth rate of money supply + growth rate of velocity = growth rate of price level + growth rate of output.

growth rate of velocity is constant.

% of M = % of P + % of Y.
