Explanation / Answer

QUESTION 1

Jessica, a Canadian citizen, works only in France. The value she adds to production in France is included

Answer: (b).

in French GDP, but is not included in Canadian GDP.

Explanation: According to definition of GDP, "GDP is the final value of the goods and services produced within the geographic boundaries of a country during a specified period of time, normally a year." Geographic Boundary is France so it will be considered in France's GDP.

QUESTION 2

The price index was 240 in one year and 283 in the next year. What was the inflation rate?

Answer: (C) 17.92 percent

Explanation : Inflation rate = [(283 - 240 )/240 ] * 100 = [43/240 ] * 100 = 17.92%

Question 4: Basket = 2 Jackets and 15 hamburgers

Since Base year is not given, therefore taking 2009 as base year

CPI2009 = ( Price of basket in 2009 / Price of basket in 2009 )* 100 = 100

CPI2010 = ( Price of basket in 2010 / Price of basket in 2009 )* 100 = [{( 45*2) + (15*4)}/{( 40*2) + (15*3)} ]*100 =[150/125]*100 = 120

CPI2011 = ( Price of basket in 2011/ Price of basket in 2009 )* 100 = [{(50*2) + (15*3)}/{( 40*2) + (15*3)} ]*100 =[145/125]*100= 116

Inflation Rate2010 =[(CPI2010 - CPI2009)/CPI2009]*100 = 0.2 * 100 = 20%

Inflation Rate2011 =[(CPI2011 - CPI2010)/CPI2010]*100 =-0.2 * 100 = - 20%

Answer: (b).

in French GDP, but is not included in Canadian GDP.
