Bob is calculating the nominal gross domestic product GDP for 2018.

Explanation:

The nominal GDP includes the market value of all the final and legal goods and services produced within a country during a certain period (generally a year). Since it uses current market values, it is not adjusted to inflation nor measures real GDP.
