Spain's current real GDP (YO) is €326 billion, and grows at a constant rate of 1.1%. Portugal's current real GDP is smaller (€55 billion), but they are experiencing a constant 4.8% growth rate. Part a) Calculate the real GDP for both countries 30 years, 50 years and 70 years from now. Allow the calculator to carry decimals in your intermediate calculations, but round GDP to the nearest billion Euro. Use these rounded values throughout the rest of the problem. Part b) Calculate the percentage difference in real GDP between the two countries for each 20-year interval. Report your answer in percentage form, rounded to the nearest integer. Part c) Suppose Portugal's goal is to catch up to Spain's GDP in 25 years. What growth rate must they sustain each year if they are to accomplish their goal? Express your answer as a percentage, rounded to one decimal place.

Suppose a country has a real GDP per capita of $68,000 and grows at a constant rate for the next 36 years. How much larger (in percentage terms) is this country if its growth rate is 4.33% instead of 3.13% after 36 years of growth? Answer this as a percentage and round your answer to two digits after the decimal without the percentage sign. ex. If you found the rate to be 5.125%, answer 5.13.
