Answer to Question 1

Real GDP would be higher, as long as the base year was before the period of deflation. Nominal GDP would be measured using the lower prices that resulted from the deflation. Real GDP would use the higher prices before the deflation, assuming the base year was before the deflation.

Answer to Question 2

An increase in the price of a factor leads to an increase in the cost of production. When a firm faces higher costs, it is likely to produce less in the short run. When the firm cuts its output, it lowers its demand for all factors of production.
