$393 using the Consumer Price
$977 using the value of consumer bundle
$1210 using the unskilled wage

So using $2400 for a new 1955 100 the numbers are:
$19200 using the Consumer Price
$15900 using the GDP deflator
$25100 using the value of consumer bundle
$26000 using the unskilled wage
$30600 using the production worker compensation
$44400 using the normal GDP per capita
$82500 using the relative share of GDP
