Example Question #2 : Tables
In a certain year, nominal gross domestic product grew by 8 percent. The inflation rate was 4 percent. Real gross domestic product for this year was _______.
Possible Answers:
grew by 8 percent
grew by 4 percent
remained constant
grew by 12 percent
Correct answer:
grew by 4 percent
Explanation:
Nominal GDP growth refers to the rate at which real GDP increases. To find real GDP growth (i.e. GDP growth that accounts for inflation), subtract the inflation rate from the nominal GDP growth rate.
In this case, the nominal GDP growth rate is 8 percent, and the inflation rate is 4 percent. Thus, the real GDP growth rate is 4%.
