Answer 2

Answer:

The answers are:

1. $80,000
2. $80,000

Explanation:

The nominal GDP includes all the production of final and legal products and services. The real GDP is the nominal GDP adjusted to inflation.

Peg's contribution to nominal GDP in 2015 was $80,000 (4,000 nail sets x $20 per nail set). If 2015 was the base year, in this case real GDP is the same as nominal GDP.
