Question:

Which of the following is the correct formula for real GDP?

Options:

Real GDP=Price index/Nominal GDP

Real GDP=Nominal GDP/GDP deflator

Real GDP=GDP deflator/Nominal GDP

Real GDP=price index/100

Correct Answer:

Real GDP=Nominal GDP/GDP deflator

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 2: Real GDP=Nominal GDP/GDP deflator

Real gross domestic product (GDP) is a measurement of economic output that accounts for the effects of inflation or deflation. It provides a more realistic assessment of growth than nominal GDP. Without real GDP, it could seem like a country is producing more when it's only that prices have gone up.
