Nominal and Real GDPFor the midterm, practice being able to calculate the percentage change in nominal GDP between years.These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.Example:2010Object Price Quantity TotalsLaptops $900 10 $9000DVD’s $10 100 $1000Pizzas $15 2 $30 Nominal GDP: $10,0302011Object Price Quantity TotalsLaptops $1000 10.5 $10,500DVD’s $12 105 $1260Pizzas $16 2 $32 Nominal GDP: $11,792To find the real GDP for 2011 (prices of 2010 w/ quantities of 2011)Object Price Quantity TotalsLaptops $900 10.5 $9450DVD’s $10 105 $1050Pizzas $15 2 $30 Real GDP: $10,530To calculate % change%change(x) = (final x – initial x)/ initial xReal GDP of second year= final xNominal GDP for base year= initial xExample: (10530 – 10030)/10030 = 4.98% change of real GDP(for midterm stick with 2 decimals)C.
