Solution Preview
1. Real GDP last year = $7000 billion
Nominal GDP this year = $8820 billion
GDP Deflator = 120
By definition,
GDP Deflator = (Nominal GDP / Real GDP) * 100
Therefore we have,
120 = (8820 / Real GDP) * 100
or Real GDP = (8820 * 100)/120
or Real GDP = 7350
Hence, Real GDP this year is $7350 billion.
By definition
GDP Growth = (Change in GDP / Last Year GDP) * 100
Putting in the numbers
GDP Growth = ((7350 - 7000)/7000)*100
or GDP Growth = (350/7000)*100
or GDP Growth = ...
