Answer 1

Answer:-

(A). Nominal GDP growth rate is the % change in nominal GDP from 2005 to 2015

Nominal GDP growth = (11750000 – 9000000) / 9000000 * 100

                                   = 30.56%.

(B). Economic Growth = Nominal GDP growth rate- Inflation- population growth rate

                                            = 30.56% - 1% - 3.75%

                                            = 25.81%

(C). Inflation is the situation of increase in the general price level of the goods and services produced by the economy.

Here the price level rise by 1% so the inflation become 1%

(D). Real GDP Growth = Nominal GDP growth – Inflation

                                     = 30.56% - 1%

                                    = 29.56%

(E). Per Capita GDP Growth = Nominal GDP growth – Population Growth

                                              = 30.56% - 3.75%

                                              = 26.81%

(F) Real per capita GDP Growth = Real GDP growth - Population Growth

                                                    = 29.56% - 3.75%

                                                    = 25.81%
