Question:

Suppose GDP deflator is 300, what comprehension can be made from it?

Options:

Implies that price level has gone up by 300%

Implies that price level has gone down by 300%

Implies that price level has gone up by 200%

Implies that price level has gone down by 200%

Correct Answer:

Implies that price level has gone up by 200%

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 3: Implies that price level has gone up by 200%

The GDP deflator of 300 means that nominal GDP is three times real GDP, implying that the price level has risen by 200% compared to the base year.

GDP Deflator Formula:

GDP Deflator=(Nominal GDP/Real GDP) *100

If the deflator is 300, then Nominal GDP=3×Real GDP
