Expert Solution
Step 1

The real and nominal GDP are the macroeconomic components that show the value of all the final goods and services produced in an economy but the real GDP among the two is inflation-adjusted. The nominal GDP is the total amount of goods and services produced. The GDP per capita refers to the standard of living in simple terms that is denoted by the individual people and their income along with the satisfaction level.
