● To produce a Ipad pro : it requires 7 hours of work for
software, 6 hours of work for hardware, 8 hours of work for
decoration. To produce an Iphone : it requires 6 hours of work
for software, 3 hours of work for hardware, 9 hours of work for
decoration. To produce an Apple Watch it requires 8 hours of
work for software, 5 hours of work for hardware, 4 hours of
work for decoration.
• If their workers can produce 10000 hours of work for software,
7500 hours of work for hardware, 9000 hours of work for
decoration. How many Iphone, Ipad pro and Apple Watch can
Apple produce ?
Consider a small nation where the primary industry is printing. The table below presents information about their economy in two different years.
Complete the table by calculating physical capital per worker as well as labor productivity.
Hint: Recall that productivity is defined as the amount of goods and services a worker can produce per hour. In this problem, measure productivity as
the quantity of goods per hour of labor.

- There is a chart for quesition 2 that is attached as an image. 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.

In his 2020 State of the Nation Address (SONA), president of South Africa humbly noted that. "Even if we (the government) were to marshal every single resource at our disposal, and engage on a huge expenditure of public funds, we would not alone be able to guarantee employment to the millons of people who are out of wark". and that "Without growth there will be no jobs, and without jobs there will be no meaningful improvement in the lives of our people". Adapted from: https://www.gov.za/speeches/president-cynl-ramaphosa-2020-state-nation-address-13- feb-2020-0000 Accessed: 22/02/2020 Using the South African SONA 2020 as a referenc, discuss examples of the different ways that the South African government intervenes in the economy.arrow_forward
