Answer:

n = 43.6673555

it will take 43.67 year to achice a real GDP of 98,000

Explanation:

we solve for time of a future lump-sum:

[tex]PV (1+r)^n = FV\\(1+r)^n = FV / PV\\[/tex]

we use logarithmics properties:

[tex](1+r)^n = FV/PV\\log_{1+r}FV/PV = n\\n = \frac{log FV/PV}{log(1+r)}[/tex]

PV 49,000

FV 98,000

rate 1.6%

[tex]n = \frac{log 98,000/49,000}{log(1+0.016)}[/tex]

n = 43.6673555
