Answer:

d. nominal GDP is $500, real GDP is $400, and the GDP deflator is 125.

Explanation:

Real GDP is total output produced in an economy within a given period multiplied by base year prices

Nominal GDP is the sum of all final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period multiplied by current year prices.

Nominal GDP = (100 × $3) + (50 × $4) =

$500

Real GDP = (100 × 1.5) + (50 × $5) = $400

GDP deflator = (nominal gdp / real gdp) x 100

(500 / 400) × 100 = 125
