In what years is this contract better than the original one?
Nominal GDP 2005
GDP = Price * Quantity
Apples = $1 * 100 = $100
Bananas = $1 * 100 = $100
Total GDP = Apples + Bananas
= $100 + $100 = $200
Real GDP
Assuming 2005 is the base Year
Real GDP 2005 = Nominal GDP 2005 = $200
GDP Deflator 2005
GDP Deflator = ( Nominal GDP / Real GDP ) * 100
GDP Deflator 2005 = ($200 / $200) * 100
= 100 %
Nomnal GDP 2006
Similarly as above
Apples = $20 * 50 = $1000
Bananas = $5 * 200 = $1000
Adding all Above
Nominal GDP 2006 = $2000
Real GDP 2006 using 2005 as base year
= $1 * 50 + $1 * 200
= $50 + $200
= $250
GDP Deflator 2006
= ($2000 / $250) * 100
= 800 %
CPI in 2005
It will be 100% as 2005 is base year
CPI in 2006
(Total Cost of Basket of Goods in 2006 / Total Cost of basket of goods in 2005 ) * 100
Total Cost of Basket of Goods in 2006
Apples = $20 * 1 = $20
Bananas = $5 * 2 = $10
Total Cost of Basket = $20 + $10 = $30
Similarly , for 2005
Total cost of basket of goods = $1 * 1 + $1 * 2 = $3
CPI 2006 = ( $30 / $3 ) * 100
= 1000%
Inflation Rate = [(CPI in 2006 - CPI in 2005) / CPI in 2005]* 100
= [(1000 - 100)/100] * 100
= 900%
