Firm A buys $500 worth of goods from firm B and $250 worth of goods from firm C and produces 200 units of output, which it sells at $15 per unit. Firm B buys $300 worth of goods from firm A and a $250 worth of goods from firm C, and produces 300 units of output, which it sells at $5 per unit. Firm C buys $250 worth of goods from firm A and nothing from firm B. It produces output worth $1,000. All other products are sold to consumers.a. Calculate nominal GDP for this economy.
