Step 1

To compute nominal GDP, we need to multiply the quantity of each good by its price and sum them up. Using 2013 as the base year, the nominal GDP for each year is: 2013: $1 \times 100 + $2 \times 50 = $100 + $100 = $200 2014: $1 \times 200 + $2 \times 100 = $200 + Show more…

00:03 Calculating calculation of nominal vegetable.

00:07 So, nominal vegetal is the market value of all final goods and services engaged in an economy during an accounting error measured in current price.

00:19 Total production of milk and honey is measured in terms of money in column 6 and 7.

00:26 Column 6 and 7 by multiplying unit produced redux price.

00:34 Some of the column 6 and 7, 6 and 7 is presented in column 8, is nominal gdp.

00:47 So in the year 2013, this is the table we have created.

00:57 These are the outputs.

01:02 So, now calculation of the real gdp.

01:09 Real gdp refers to the market value of all fine goods and services produced in an economy during an accounting year measured in constant price.

01:20 The base year is 2013.

01:24 The base year is 2013, where a price per unit of milk is $1 and honey is $2.

01:38 Dollars total production of milk and honey is measured in terms of money and column six and seven which is six and seven there's a new table i have to look at a table table table some of the current is the material column is the current is the root this r22p it is number of atp here is the table too now calculation of the ttp gdp defector jdp defector can be obtained using a common terminal which is equal to nominal jdp by j.

02:43 Jdp 200 using the equation pairs defectal portuguese we may calculate in table 3 table 3 table 3 h .a .r.

03:08 2013.

03:10 This is the year.

03:14 This is njdp.
