Answer:

The answer is

A. 3.93%

B. 10.42%

Explanation:

The formula for growth rate is:

[(Present value ÷ Past value)^1/n] - 1

where n is the difference between the number of years.

QUESTION A:

Present Real per capita GDP = $700.00

Past Real per capita GDP = $350.00

n is 18 years

[($700/$350)^1/18] - 1

(2^0.055556) - 1

3.93%

QUESTION A:

Past Real per capita GDP = $700.00($1,400.00÷ 2)

Present Real per capita GDP = $1,400.00

n is 7 years

[($1400/$700)^1/7] - 1

(2^0.143) - 1

10.42%
