If adding an initial 100 billion labor hours per year increases real GDP by $3 trillion, diminishing returns informs us that an additional 100 billion labor hours per year will increase real GDP by A) exactly $3 trillion. B) less than $3 trillion. C) more than $3 trillion. D) either exactly $3 trillion or by less than $3 trillion, depending on whether the real wage rate remains constant or rises.

In a small Asian country, it is estimated that changing the level of capital from $8 million to $12 million will increase real GDP from $4 million to $6 million. What level of GDP would you expect the economy to be able to reach if spending on capital continued to rise to $16 million, assuming no technological change and no change in the hours of work? GDP would increase further by exactly $2 million. GDP would increase further, but by less than $2 million. GDP would increase further by more than $2 million GDP would increase further by exactly $8 million.
