Q ECONOMIC GROWTH IN-CLASS WORKSHEET 2 This question examines the calculation of nominal GDP, real GDP, and the growth rate from quantity and price data for all final goods in a macroeconomy. You will use data to make these calculations and apply the rule of 72. The country of Sunnyland produces two final goods: tubes of sun block and bags of sand. Below, you are provided data on the quantity of each of these goods that was produced in Sunnyland and the price that was charged per unit during 2014 and 2015: Year Quantity of Sun Block Price of Sun Block Quantity of Sand Price of Sand 2014 20 $4 8 $1.00 2015 24 $5 12 $1.50 Task 1: Calculate the value of 2014 nominal GDP in Sunnyland. Task 2: Using 2014 as your base year, calculate the value of 2015 real GDP in Sunnyland. Task 3: Calculate the growth rate between 2014 and 2015 of real GDP in Sunnyland. Task 4: Suppose that Sunnyland continued to grow at this rate. How many years would it take for Sunnyland’s economy to double in size?
