Answer 1

The GDP deflator can be calculated using the following formula:

\[ \text{GDP Deflator} = \left( \frac{\text{Nominal GDP}}{\text{Real GDP}} \right) \times 100 \]

Given:

• Real GDP = $5,000
• Nominal GDP = $5,500

Now plug these values into the formula:

\[ \text{GDP Deflator} = \left( \frac{5,500}{5,000} \right) \times 100 = 1.1 \times 100 = 110 \]

So, the GDP deflator is 110.
