Question

Suppose that in 1984 the total output in a single-good economy was 10, 000 buckets of chicken. Also assume that in 1984 each bucket of chicken was priced at $16. Finally, assume that in 2005 the price per bucket of chicken was $20 and that 22, 000 buckets were produced. Instructions: In , enter your answer as an index number rounded to 1 decimal place. In parts b-c, enter your answers as whole numbers. What is the GDP price index for 1984, using 2005 as the base year? By what percentage did the price level, as measured by this index, rise between 1984 and 2005? percent. What were the amounts of real GDP in 1984 and 2005? In 1984. real GDP = $ In 2005, real GDP = $

Explanation / Answer

a. GDP price index for 1984, using 2005 as the base year is measured as follws,

GDP price index = (Price level in 1984 / Price level in 2005) * 100

GDP price index = ($16 / $20) * 100 = 80%.

b. From 1984 to 2005, price level rises [(100 - 80) / 80] * 100 = 25%.

c.

In 1984, real GDP (as 2005 as base year) = $20 * 10,000 = $200,000.

In 2005, real GDP (as 2005 as base year) = $20 * 22,000 = $440,000.
