However, India is growing rapidly at a growth rate of 5% per year. We want to find how many years it will take for India’s per capita GDP to equal Italy’s current per-capita GDP of $28,000. How many times must India's per-capita GDP double in order to reach Italy's per-capita GDP? India's per-capita GDP must double __________ times. Use the rule of 70 to find how many years it will take for India's per-capita GDP to double once at a 5% growth rate.

Consider two countries: Fritolaysia and Khandibar. Currently, real GDP per person (average income) is $60,000 in Fritolaysia and $20,000 in Khandibar. Suppose you want to project what the real GDP per person will be in each country 100 years from now. The following formula shows how to compute the average income in n years, where g represents the growth rate of real GDP per person (in decimal form-that is, 1.5% is entered as 0.015): Average Income in n Years Current Average Income x (1 + g)" Use the growth formula to find the correct amounts to select to fill in the following table. Growth Rate Average Income after 100 Years (Percent) (Dollars) 1.5 1.7 4 4.2 1 1.5% 1.7% Suppose Fritolaysia is expected to grow at 1.7% for the next 100 years. Which of the following growth rates in Khandibar would cause the average income in Khandibar to exceed the average income in Fritolaysia in 100…arrow_forwardAssume that a leader country has real GDP per capita of $80,000, whereas a follower country has real GDP per capita of $40,000. Next suppose that the growth of real GDP per capita falls to zero percent in the leader country and rises to 5 percent in the follower country. If these rates continue for long periods of time, how many years will it take for the follower country to catch up to the living standard of the leader country?

See the GDP of the two countries in 1990 India GDP of $326 billion, China GDP of $358 billion By 2015, China’s GDP grew to $10.8 trillion India’s GDP grew to $2.07 trillion2 China’s growth > 33%, whereas India’s is > 6% The World Bank suggests that 800 million people have also moved out of poverty in China. The poverty rate fell from 88% of the population in 1981 to just above 4% of the population in 2014. India, cut its poverty level from 60% to 30% of its population between 1981 and 2012. However, the population also increased, so the overall decline in poverty was from 429 million to 400 million.. The growth of China and its effects on its population is visible. The rise of a middle class has turned China into a marketer's dream as a huge 'market' for all products such as automobiles. Question: What reasons can be you attribute for…arrow_forward
