Explanation of Solution

The real GDP of a nation is always treated as a basic measure of the level of economic activity. Thus, the real GDP per person indicates a measure of the quantity of goods and services available to the typical resident of a country. Over the past centuries, since 1870, the data show that the value of real GDP per person increases, which is more than 10-fold in Country U’s economy and many other industrial nations and 25-fold in Country J. As a result, the material standard of living of an average person in these industrialized countries increases. However, there is a huge gap between the growth rates of the real GDP in underdeveloped nations and developed nations. In the final result, there is a huge gap in the standard of living of people between the high income nations and the low income nations.
