Year Nominal GDP GDP deflator(in billions of dollars) (base year 2009)

1996 8073 73.81

2016 18707 105.3

Answer and Explanation:

1. Growth rate of nominal GDP =

Difference of nominal GDP from 1996-2000/nominal GDP 1996*100/1

=

2. What was the growth rate of the GDP deflator between 1996 and 2016?

growth rate of the GDP deflator = GDPdeflator 2016 - GDP deflator 1996)/ GDP deflator 1999 x 100

= 105.3- 73.81/73.81x 100

= 0.4424 x 100

= 4.424 %

3. What was the real GDP in 1996 measured in 2009 prices?

Real GDP in 1996= nominal GDP/ GDP deflator in hundreths

GDP deflator in hundreths= 73.81/100 = 1.13

Real GDP in 1999 at 1996 prices = 8073/1.13

= $ 8202754.867 billions

4. What was real GDP in 2016 measured in 2009 prices?

Real GDP= nominal GDP/ GDP deflator in hundreths

GDP deflator in hundreths= 105.3/100 = 1.18

Real GDP in 2016 at 2009 prices = 18707/1.18

= $ 8367049.153 billions

5. What was the growth rate of real GDP between 1996 and 2016?

Growth rate of real GDP from 1996 to 2016 = real GDP 2016 - Real GDP 1996)/ RGDP 1996x 100

= 8367049.153 - 8202754.867 / 8202754.867 x 100

= 0.0200 x100

= 2 %

6. Was the growth rate of nominal GDP higher or lower than the growth rate of real GDP?

Explain

Nominal GDP growth rate is higher than real GDP growth rate rate which is normal since Nominal GDP is calculated using market prices for the year while real GDP is calculated using base year prices.

Garison Music Emporium carries a wide variety of musical instruments, sound reproduction equipment, recorded music, and sheet music. Garison uses two sales promotion techniques— warranties and premiums— to attract customers.
Musical instruments and sound equipment are sold with a one- year warranty for replacement of parts and labor. The estimated warranty cost, based on past experience, is 2% of sales.
The premium is offered on the recorded and sheet music. Customers receive a coupon for each dollar spent on recorded music or sheet music. Customers may exchange 200 coupons and $ 20 for a CD player. Garison pays $ 32 for each CD player and estimates that 60% of the coupons given to customers will be re-deemed.
Garison’s total sales for 2020 were $7,200,000—$5,700,000 from musical instruments and sound reproduction equipment and $1,500,000 from recorded music and sheet music. Replacement parts and labor for warranty work totaled $94,000 during 2020 ($44,000 of the work is related to pre-2020 sales). A total of 6,500 players used in the premium program were purchased during the year and there were 1,200,000 coupons re-deemed in 2020.
The accrual method is used by Garison to account for the warranty and premium costs for financial reporting purposes.

A yield curve is a graphical representation of the relationship between the yields and the maturities of securities issued by a given borrower in a given currency on a given date. The mathematical relationship between these two variables, the yield and the maturity, is called the term structure of interest rates, and the graphical relationship (plotted curve) is called the yield curve.
A yield curve can exhibit a variety of shapes, and the general shapes have been given a specific name. Identify the name of the yield curve that matches the pattern described as follows:
Description of the Yield Curve Name Given to Describe the Yield Curve
