Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nominal GDP in 2011 is calculated by multiplying the quantity produced with the corresponding price and adding up the values for all three goods. 
Nominal GDP in 2011 = (50 movies x $50) + (500 burgers x $5) + (100 bikes x $120) 
= $2500 + $2500 + $12000 
= $17,000 
Therefore, the best choice is option A, which is $3,320.
