In 2010, the imaginary nation of Bovina had a population of 5,000 and real GDP of 600,000. In 2011 it had a population of 5,200 and real GDP of 636,480. During 2011 real GDP per person in Bovina grew by a. 2 percent, which is high compared to average U. S. growth over the last one-hundred years. b. 2 percent, which is about the same as average U. S. growth over the last one-hundred years. c. 4 percent, which is high compared to average U. S. growth over the last one-hundred years. d. 4 percent, which is about the same as average U. S. growth over the last one-hundred years.

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

In 2010,

Real GDP = 600,000

Population = 5,000

Real GDP per person:

= Real GDP ÷ Population

= 600,000 ÷ 5,000

= 120

In 2011,

Real GDP = 636,480

Population = 5,200

Real GDP per person:

= Real GDP ÷ Population

= 636,480 ÷ 5,200

= 122.4

Growth rate of real GDP per person during the year 2011:

= [(Real GDP per person in 2011 - Real GDP per person in 2010) ÷ Real GDP per person in 2010] × 100

= [(122.4 - 120) ÷ 120] × 100

= (2.4 ÷ 120) × 100

= 0.02 × 100

= 2%

It was seen from the data available on the world bank that the United states real GDP per person is growing at an average rate of 2% between 1910 and 2010.

Hence, the Growth rate of real GDP per person during the year 2011 is about the same as average U.S. growth over the last one-hundred years.
