I cant find the formula to solve this homework problems to save my life, not in the book, not on the Internet...anywhere.

Can anyone help so I can PLEASE sleep?? Please??

GDP equals 100 billion, NDP equals 95 billion, and investment equals 33 billion. What does the depreciation equal?

I know I can find NDP= GDP-depreciation, but everytime I try to play around with the formula the investment part screws it up.

Nominal output in year 1 is $500,000 in yar 1 and 520,00 in year 2. The GDP delfator or the price index is 110 in year 2. What is the rate of change in nominal output from year 1 to year 2? Also, caluclate the real output or real GDP for year 2 assuming yes 1 as the base year.

I feel like my head is about to explode...If anybody knows these formulas Id REALLY appreciate them.

By definition, NDP = GDP - total capital depreciation.
So, Depreciation = GDP - NDP = 100 billion - 95 billion = 5 billion
