Please give ratings it will be appreciable thank you

In this question we can assume year 1 is base year

Nominal GDP =current year price of of maple syrup*current year quantity of maple syrup + current year price of trips *current year quantity  of trips

Real GDP =base year price of of maple syrup*current year quantity of maple syrup + base year price of trips *current year quantity  of trips

deflator = (nominal GDP *100)/ real GDP

inflation = change in deflator  

year 1 year 2 year 3 year 4
price quantity price quantity price quantity price quantity
Maple syrup 11 300 13 310 12 324 14 410
Trips 250 425 225 570 260 550 262 580
nominal GDP 109550 132280 146888 157700
real GDP 109550 145910 141064 149510
Price deflator 100 90.7 104.1 105.5

Consider two city-states: Gilead and Mahishmathi. They can produce two goods: gun- powder and maple syrup. In a single year, Gilead can make 1,000 tons of gunpower and 1,500 tons of maple syrup. In the same period of time, Mahishmathi can produce 2,000 tons of gunpowder and 1,500 tons of maple syrup. Assume that both nations are productively efficient, and that they each have a constant Marginal Rate of Transformation. Initially, before trade, Gilead makes 750 tons of maple syrup,...
