Nominal GDP in 2011 was (100 × 5) + (50 × 11) = $1,050. In 2012 nominal GDP was (120 × 7) + (60 × 14) = $1,680. For real GDP, we calculate GDP for 2012 in 2011 dollars. 2012 GDP in 2011 dollars would be (120 × 5) + (60 × 11) = $1,260. So while nominal GDP increased by 60%, real GDP only increased by 20%.
