Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

i) Real GDP is the total value of a country's output using base year prices. In this case, the base year is Year 1. Therefore, real GDP of Polonia in Year 2 is 120  10 + 300  12 = 1,200 + 3,600 = 4,800.
ii) Polonia's real GDP for Year 1 is 100  10 + 250  12 = 1,000 + 3,000 = 4,000 and for Year 2 is 4,800. The growth rate of Polonia's GDP is (4,800 - 4,000)/4,000 = 0.2 or 20.
