    A) 225

    CPI base year = $200

    CPI later year = $450

    CPI for the later year = ($450 / $200) x 100 = 225

    2016 2017

    Item Quantity Price Quantity Price

    Books 10 $30 8 $50

    Pens 20 $1 15 $2

    Nominal GDP 2016 = (10 x $30) + ($20 x $1) = $300 + $20 = $320

    Nominal GDP 2017 = (8 x $50) + ($15 x $2) = $400 + $30 = $430

    Real GDP 2017 using 2016 as base year = (8 x $30) + ($15 x $1) = $240 + $15 = $255
