Explanation:

Given the following ;

YEAR 2009

Quantity of orange = 100

Price of orange = $5

Quantity of DVD = 20

Price of DVD = $40

YEAR 2010

Quantity of orange = 110

Price of orange = $5.25

Quantity of DVD = 30

Price of DVD = $24

Real GDP is given by;

Current year Quantity × Base year Price

A.) Real GDP for 2009 using 2009 as the base year

(Quantity of orange(2009) × price of orange(2009)) + (Quantity of DVD(2009) × price of DVD(2009))

(100×$5) + (20×$40) = $500 + $800 = $1,300

B.) Real GDP for 2009 using 2010 as base year.

(Quantity of orange(2009) × price of orange(2010)) + (Quantity of DVD(2009) × price of DVD(2010))

(100 × $5.25) + (20 × $24)

$525 + $480 = $1005

C.) Real GDP for 2010 using 2009 as base year

(Quantity of orange(2010) × price of orange(2009)) + (Quantity of DVD(2010) × price of DVD(2009))

(110 × $5) + (30 × $40)

$550 + $1200 = $1750

D.) Real GDP for 2010 using 2010 as base year

(110 × $5.25) + (30 ×$24) = $577.5 + $720 = $1297.50

E.) growth rate using 2009 as base year.

(2010 Real GDP - 2009 Real GDP) ÷ 2009 Real GDP

($1750 - $1300)/$1300

0.3462 × 100 = 34.62%

F.) GDP growth rate using 2010 as base year = ($1297.5 - $1005)/$1005

= 0.2910 × 100 = 29.10%

G.) Arithmetic average of growth rates = (34.62 + 29.10)%/2 = 63.72%/2 = 31.86%
