The economy grows 3.59 percent per year over a 20 year period. 0.67 percent per year is attributed to labor and 1.49 percent per year is attributed to capital. Therefore, enter your response here percent per year must be due to technological progress. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
The GDP of South Africa in 1950 was 77,836.88 million dollars. In 2019 it was 748,861 million dollars. What has been the annualized growth rate of GDP for South Africa during the period 1950 to 2019? Use growth compounding to calculate the number and write the answer in percent terms with up to two decimals (e.g., 10.22 for 10.22%, or 2.33 for 2.33%).

- Susie Lee won a lottery. She will have a choice of receiving $25,000 at the end of each year for the next 30 years, or a lump sum today. If she can earn an annual return of 10 percent on any investment she makes, what is the least she should be willing to accept today as a lump-sum payment? (Round to the nearest hundred dollars.) Use the NPV as you have equal cash flows of $25,000 for the next 30 years.arrow_forwardA mathematical approximation called the rule of 70 tells us how long it will take for something to double in size if it grows at a constant rate. The doubling time is approximately equal to the number 70 divided by the percentage rate of growth. Thus, if Oman's real GDP per person is growing at 7 percent per year, it will take about 10 years (= 70 ÷ 7) to double. Apply the rule of 70 to solve the following problem: Real GDP per person in Oman in 2020 was about $13,000 per person, while it was about $52,000 per person in the United States. If real GDP per person in Oman grows at the rate of 2 percent per year, about how long will it take Oman's real GDP per person to reach the level that the United States enjoyed in 2020? (Hint. How many times would Oman's 2020 real GDP per person have to double to reach the United States' 2020 real GDP per person?) yearsarrow_forwardPlease do your own work, don't copy from the internet Q2) 2, You invest $3,000 for three years at 12 percent. a. What is the value of your investment after one year? Multiply $3,000 × 1.12. b. What is the value of your investment after two years? Multiply your answer to part a by 1.12. c. What is the value of your investment after three years? Multiply your answer to part b by 1.12. This gives your final answer. Combine these three steps by using the formula to find the future value of $3,000 in 3 years at 12 percent interest.arrow_forward
