GDP per capita in the United States was approximately $63,000 in 2020. Use the growth formula (see below) to answer the following questions:
Growth formula: (future value) = (present value) × (1 + r)t
present value = this year's GDP per capita
future value = GDP per capita in the future
r = rate of growth (in decimal form) per year
What will GDP per capita be in the year 2025 if it grows each year by 2.5 percent?
In 2018, according to the International Monetary Fund, India had the world’s 7th-highest nominal GDP, the 142nd-highest nominal GDP per capita, and the 7th-highest real GDP growth rate. What does each of these indicators tell us about the Indian economy and how life in India compares to life in other countries?
India has a huge economy that produces lots of goods and services (7th-highest nominal GDP), is still fairly poor (142nd-highest nominal GDP per capita), but has a rapidly increasing standard of living (7th-highest real GDP growth rate).

Suppose that work hours in New Zombie are 200 in year 1 and productivity is $8 per hour worked. What is New Zombie’s real GDP? If work hours increase to 210 in year 2 and productivity rises to $10 per hour, what is New Zombie’s rate of economic growth? Explain why sustained long-term economic growth comes from increases in labor productivity. Why do you think the trend rate of U.S. productivity growth has increased since the earlier 1973–1995 period? Hint: The quantity of labor and increases in labor productivity are important sources of economic growth. Between 1953 and 2015, in the US economy the labor force increased from 63 million to 158 million workers. Productivity growth has usually been the more significant factor. To calculate real GDP in a given year you have to multiply hours worked by productivity. 2.
