Valerie's paycheck each week is $10 per hour times the number of hours she works. Valerie thus currently earns a, wage of $10 per hour. Suppose the price of apple juice is $2.50 per gallon. The amount of apple juice she can buy with her paycheck is of apple juice, which represents her- wage. When workers and firms negotiate compensation packages, they have expectations about the price level (and changes in the price level) and agree on wage with those expectations in mind. If the price level turns out to be higher than expected, a worker's wage is than both the worker and employer expected when they agreed to the wage. Suppose that Valerie and her employer both expected inflation to be 4% between 2011 and 2012. They signed a two-year contract stipulating that Valerie would earn $10 per hour in 2011 and $10.40 per hour in 2012. However, actual inflation between 2011 and 2012 turned out to be 5% rather than the expected 4%. For example, suppose the price of apple juice rose from $2.50 per gallon to $2.63 per gallon. This means that between 2011 and 2012, Valerie's nominal wage by . and her real wage by approximately

Analysis of the Data The following data is taken from The Economic Report to the President 2018. It comes out once a year in April (I think). You should take a look at one just for kicks. Here are the data: 2007 2017 GDP (Y) $14.47 trill $19.38 trill C $9.75 trill $13.39 trill I $2.60 tril $3.19 trill Given the data in the table above, what is the rate of economic growth for the U.S. economy from 2007 to 2017? Is the rate of growth in consumption and investment spending similar to the rate of growth for the overall economic system from 2007 to 2017? Provide mathematical proof. The GDP for China was $12.14 trill. in 2017; $13.61trill in 2018; and $14.14 trill in 2019. World experts have noted that the rate of growth for China has slowed.
