An economist is comparing two nations, A and B, which only produce two goods: computers and bushels of wheat.
- Nation A produces 10 computers and 500 bushels of wheat.
- Nation B produces 15 computers and 400 bushels of wheat.
In the global market, a computer is valued at $1,000 and a bushel of wheat is valued at $20. Based on the total value of the goods produced, which nation has the larger economy?

A coastal nation's economy primarily produces two categories of output: 'Standard Goods & Services' and 'Disaster Recovery Services'. In Year 1, it produced $200 million in Standard Goods & Services and $0 in Recovery Services. In Year 2, a major flood occurred. The nation produced $150 million in Standard Goods & Services and $70 million in Disaster Recovery Services (e.g., rebuilding, cleanup). An economist calculates the total value of output for Year 2 as $220 million. Which statement provides the most accurate analysis of the change in the size of the economy from Year 1 to Year 2?
