The following table shows the prices (P) and quantities (Q) of the three goods consumed by average households in a small country for three years. The base year is 1984. You will calculate the consumer price indices for these three years. In Canvas, enter your numbers without dollar signs, decimal places, or commas.
             
Year Good 1 Good 2 Good 3
P Q P Q P Q
1984 $20.00 2 $30.00 5 $10.00 6
2006 $40.00 4 $60.00 7 $20.00 8
2015 $51.00 4 $72.00 7 $23.00 8

Consider now the information about the supply of labor in the file named Supply of Labor - HW2. Combine this information with information about the demand for labor in the previous question. What are the equilibrium levels of real wage and employment?

Equilibrium Real Wage = () units

Equilibrium Level of Employment =() Workers

Consider the demand and supply information in the previous questions. What is the level of potential GDP in this country?

Potential GDP = units.

Consider the demand and supply information in the previous questions. Suppose that currently, the nominal wage is W = $1,000 and the price level is P = $20. Then, there are jobs available in the economy and workers are willing and able to work.

Consider the demand and supply information in the previous questions. Suppose that currently, the nominal wage is W = $1,000. If the price level increases by 25% and if the nominal wage does not change, There will be jobs available in the economy and workers will be willing and able to work.

Consider the demand and supply information in the previous questions. Suppose that currently, the nominal wage is W = $1,000. If the price level increases by 25% and if the nominal wage does not change, the labor market will be thrown out of equilibrium. To restore equilibrium, the nominal wage must change to dollars.
