Country | 2015 Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) | Population X | 490,000 | 70 Y | 200,000 | 20 Which conclusion can be supported by the data in the table above? A Country X's real GDP growth rate is 7 percent. B Country X's real GDP per capita is $4,000. C Country X's economy grew at a faster rate than Country Y's economy did. D Income is more equally distributed in Country X than in Country Y. E Country Y's real GDP per capita is greater than Country X's real GDP per capita.

Step 1
For Country X, it would be $490,000 / 70 = $7,000. For Country Y, it would be $490,000 / 200,000 = $2.45. From this, we can see that option B is incorrect because Country X's real GDP per capita is $7,000, not $4,000. Show more…

Consider the following data on U.S. GDP: a. What was the growth rate of nominal GDP between 1994 and 2014? (Hint: The growth rate of a variable X over an N-year period is calculated as 100 $\times$ $[(X_{final}/X_{initial})^{1/N} -1$].) b. What was the growth rate of the GDP deflator between 1994 and 2014? c. What was real GDP in 1994 measured in 2009 prices? d. What was real GDP in 2014 measured in 2009 prices? e. What was the growth rate of real GDP between 1994 and 2014? f. Was the growth rate of nominal GDP higher or lower than the growth rate of real GDP? Explain.

The gross domestic product (GDP; in trillions of dollars) for Country A and Country B can be approximated as follows, where x = 60 corresponds to the year 1960. Country A: f(x) = 0.00012(1.101)^x Country B: g(x) = 0.0148(1.829)^x Find the projected GDP in 2011 and 2028 for Country A.
