Suppose that nominal GDP was $9750000.00 in 2005 in Montgomery County Maryland. In 2015, nominal GDP was $11500000.00 in Montgomery County Maryland. The price level rose 3.00% between 2005 and 2015, and population growth was 4.00%. Calculate the following figures for Montgomery County Maryland between 2005 and 2015.
a. nominal growth is:
b.economic growth is:
c.inflation is:
d.real GDP growth is:
e.per capita GDP growth is:
f. real per capita GDP growth is:
As per the question the various information about the Montgomery country Maryland is given below
Nominal GDP in 2005 = $9750000.00
Nominal GDP in 2015 = $11500000.00
The rise in price level = 3.00%
Population growth rate = 4.00%
A. Nominal Growth rate is = (Nominal GDP in 2015 - Nominal GDP in 2005)/ Nominal GDP in 2005 = (11500000.00 - 9750000.00)/ 9750000.00 = 17.9487 = Approx 17.95%
B. Economic Growth is = Nominal Growth rate - The rise in price level - Population growth rate = 17.95% - 3.00% - 4.00% = 10.95%
C. Inflation: refers to percentage increase in price level. It is clearly evident from the question that between 2005 to 2015 the price level increases by 3.00%. So the inflation is = 3.00%
D. Real DGP Growth is = Nominal Growth rate - The rise in price level = 17.95% - 3.00% = 14.95%
E. Per Capita GDP growth is = Nominal Growth rate - Population growth rate = 17.95% - 4.00% = 13.95%
F. Real Per Capita GDP Growth is = Real DGP Growth - Population growth rate = 14.95% - 4.00% = 10.95%
