Answer:

$5,070 billion

Explanation:

Given the following:

The real GDP in a year => $3,900 billion

The price index => 130,

The nominal GDP is measured as

=> 100 -130 = 30%

=> 30% × 3,900 = 1,170

=> 1,179 + 3,900 = 5,070

Therefore, in this case, the correct answer is $5,070 billion as the nominal GDP for the year.
