Answer:

The complete table is attached.

Explanation:

Use the fact that nominal GDP = price of cupcake in current year x quantity of cupcake in current year + price of envelope in current year x quantity of envelope in current year

Real GDP = price of cupcake in base year x quantity of cupcake in current year + price of envelope in base year x quantity of envelope in current year

We find that, for example, nominal GDP 2013 = 4*150 + 2*180 = 960 while real GDP 2013 = 2*150 + 5*180 = 1200.

Hence deflator 2013 = nominal GDP 2013/Real GDP 2013 = 960/1200 = 80.

From 2013 to 2014, nominal GDP decreased   , and real GDP decreased   .

The inflation rate in 2014 (42 - 80)*100/80 = -47.50%

Real GDP is a more accurate measure because it is not influenced by price changes, but nominal GDP is.
