Q68 (CDS-I/2021) Economy › Basic Concepts & National Income › Real vs nominal values Answer Verified

Which one of the following statements is not correct ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

Statement 3 is incorrect because Nominal GDP is calculated by valuing the output of a given year at current prevailing market prices, not constant prices [3]. In contrast, Real GDP is an inflation-adjusted measure that evaluates goods and services at a constant set of prices (base year prices) to reflect the true volume of production [1]. Statement 1 is correct as Real GDP uses common base-year prices to compare output across different years [1]. Statement 2 is correct because Potential GDP represents the level of real GDP an economy can sustain when its resources, such as labor and capital, are fully employed. Statement 4 is a standard definition where Real GDP per capita is derived by dividing the total Real GDP by the country's population to measure average economic well-being [2].
