Expert Solution
Step 1

The Gross domestic product(GDP) refers to the market value of all final commodities(goods and services) produced inside the economy during a particular time period usually year or quarter. When the value of GDP is calculated at the current market prices then it is known as the nominal GDP and when the value of GDP is calculated at some base year prices then it is calculated as the real GDP. Real GDP is also known as the inflation-adjusted measure of GDP.
