Question 11 mark

An economy produces 100 units in Year 1 at $10 each and 100 units in Year 2 at $12 each. Which statement is correct?

Nominal GDP uses each year's current prices: it rises from $1,000 to $1,200, or 20%. Real GDP uses a constant price, so output remains 100 units and real GDP is unchanged. The strongest distractor is both nominal and real GDP rising by 20%; that would incorrectly treat a price increase as an increase in physical output.

A single-best-answer question testing the difference between nominal and real GDP.
