Question

Using 2000 as a base year, suppose the 2010 nominal GDP is 18 trillion and the 2010 real GDP is 15 trillion. What is the GDP deflator for the year 2000 to 2010

Answer 1

120

Step-by-step explanation:

GDP deflator = (Nominal GDP / real GDP) * 100

GDP deflator in 2010 = (Nominal GDP in 2010 / Real GDP in 2010)*100

GDP deflator in 2010 = (18 trillion / 15 trillion)*100

GDP deflator in 2010 = 120

So, GDP deflator in 2010 is 120
