Please note I have completed some of this myself, however I need you to finish it up. Thanks! Suppose that annual output in year 1 in a 3-good economy is 3 quarts of ice cream, 1 bottle of shampoo, and 3 jars of peanut butter. In year 2, the output mix changes to 5 quarts of ice cream, 2 bottles of shampoo, and 2 jars of peanut butter. If the prices in both years are $4 per quart for ice cream, $3 per bottle of shampoo, and $2 per jar of peanut butter, what was the economy’s nominal GDP in year 1? Show the calculation. Year one (3*$4)+(1*$3)=$12+$3+$6=$21 Recall that GDP is the core measure of an economy's health. Nominal GDP (also known as current–dollar economic statistics) is not adjusted to account for any price changes. To calculate nominal GDP (the value of all final goods and services evaluated at current-year prices) you have to use the formula: Nominal GDP= P*Q. To get a real picture of a nation's economic growth economists prefer using real GDP. To calculate real…

question 1 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.

The following table shows real GDP per capita for the United States, South Korea, and Chad between 1970 and 2000. All figures are in 1998 U.S. dollars. (image inserted) The (decade-long) economic growth rate for the United States is shown in the second column. For example, from 1970 to 1980, the United States GDP grew from $18,395 to $22,666, an increase of ($22,666−$18,395)/($18,395)=23%. Use this method to fill in the growth rates for South Korea and Chad in the previous table. Enter the growth rates to the nearest whole percentage point. Compare the data for the United States and South Korea between 1970 and 1980. During this period, (South Korea OR The United States) had a higher level of real GDP per capita, while (South Korea OR The United States) experienced a higher growth rate in real GDP per capita. Convergence theory predicts that poor countries will grow more quickly than rich countries. Which one of the following is a reason for this? Rich…
