Solution -1
Nominal GDP is the market value of at current price of a nation’s output of goods
and services.
Goods Current year Current year Total value of output
Quantities Price
Rice 100 tons Tk. 650 (100 tons* Tk. 650)=Tk.65,000
Wheat 80 tons Tk.475 (80 tons*Tk.475)= Tk.38,000
Corn 50 tons Tk. 365 (50 tons*Tk.365)= Tk.18,250
Answer: Nominal GDP= (65,000+38,000+18,250) =Tk.1,21,250
Real GDP =Quantity of output in current year quantities * price of the output in
base year.

Goods Current year Base year price Total value of output


Quantities
Rice 100 tons Tk.580 (100tons*Tk.580)=Tk.58,000
Wheat 80 tons Tk.379 (80 tons*Tk.379)=Tk.30,320
Corn 50 tons Tk.287 (50 tons*Tk.287)=Tk.14,350

Answer: Real GDP = (58,000+30,320+14,350) =Tk.1,02,670

Nominal GDP 1,21,250


GDP Deflator= Real GDP *100= 1,02,670 *100=118.09(Answer)

Solution-2:

quantities quantities
Pizza 15 Tk.22 15*22=Tk.330 Tk.25 15 25*15=Tk.375
Soda 30 Tk.10.9 30*10.9=Tk.327 Tk.12.5 30 12.5*30=Tk.375
Burger 22 Tk.28 22*28=Tk.616 Tk.35 22 35*22=Tk.770
Total Tk.1273 Tk.1520

Base year basket quantities multiplies


by current year prices
CPI= Base year basket quantities multiplied *100
by base year prices

1520
CPI= 1273 *100=119.04(Answer)
