RGDP per capita in the year 1 = 1,768/4*2

= 1,768/4*2

= 221

RGDP per capita in the year 2 = 2,111/5*2

= 2,111/10

= 211

RGDP per capita in the year 3 = 2,912/6*3

= 2,912/18

= 162

RGDP per capita in the year 4 = 4,013/7*3

= 4,013/21

= 191

Change in RGDP per capita from year 1 to year 2,

= RGDP per capita in year 2 – RGDP per capita in year 1 (In absolute term)

= 211-221

= - 10

= [RGDP per capita in year 2 – RGDP per capita in year 1/ RGDP per capita in year 1]*100 (In percentage)
=[-10/221]*100

= -5%

Change in RGDP per capita from year 2 to year 3,

= RGDP per capita in year 3 – RGDP per capita in year 2

= 162 - 211

= - 49

= [RGDP per capita in year 3 – RGDP per capita in year 2/ RGDP per capita in year 2]*100
=[-49/211]*100

= -23%

Change in RGDP per capita from year 3 to year 4,

= RGDP per capita in year 4 – RGDP per capita in year 3

= 191 -162

= 29

= [RGDP per capita in year 4 – RGDP per capita in year 3/ RGDP per capita in year 3]*100
=[29/162]*100

= 18%

Using the information from above , state how long it will take for Real GDP per capita to double in size.
