If the nominal GDP index is 202.5 and the real GDP index is 150 what is the deflator index?
The GDP deflator measures the price component of nominal GDP relative to real GDP. Its index formula is Deflator = (Nominal GDP index ÷ Real GDP index) × 100. Substituting the data gives (202.5 ÷ 150) × 100 = 135. Therefore, the deflator index is 135. The other values result from incorrect division or from failing to multiply the ratio by 100.
