Nominal GDP for year 2010 = $7,650

Explanation:

Nominal GDP measures the market value of all goods and services produced in an economy at current prices, normally in a year. Current prices are the prices of the year I want to know the GDP. In this case, our current prices are 2010 prices. To know the nominal GDP, we must multiply the quantities produced by their current prices:

Nominal GDP = 550*$3+6*$1000=$7,650
