Business Economics Growth Rate of GDP

Answer

Step #1 of 2

Per capita income is the total income divided by country's population 

Step #2 of 2

Future value = Present value(1+ growth rate)n

n = number of years 

n = 1

Growth rate = 2% = 0.02

IAC per capita income after 1 year= 44000(1+0.02)

= 44880

DVC per capita income after 1 year = 2200(1+0.02)

= 2244

Per capita income gap between two countries = 44880 - 2244

= 42636

Correct : $42636
