Use the rules for computing growth rates of ratios, products, and exponentials to calculate the following:
(a) A country’s real GDP is growing at the rate of 8% a year, while its population is growing at the rate of 2.5% a year. How fast is its real per capita GDP growing?
(b) A country’s real GDP is growing at 4%, but it is also experiencing a high rate of inflation (price level increase) of 10%. How fast is it’s nominal GDP growing?
(c) The government wants to raise the taxes collected by 10%. However, the tax base is only growing by 2.5%. By how much should it raise the average tax rate to meet it’s target tax collection? (Hint: Total taxes collected equals the tax base times the average tax rate)
(d) A country’s nominal GDP is growing at the rate of 16%. Its price level is growing at the rate of 8%, and its population is growing at 2%. How fast is it’s real per capita GDP growing?

These questions should provide some practice in computing growth rates and other measures. Population is growing at 1.6% p.a. Real GDP is rising at 4.1% p.a. How quickly is real GDP/capita growing? Growth rate of Real GDP PC = 4.1% – 1.6% Growth rate of Real GDP PC = 2.5%: The nominal interest rate is now 2.6% and inflation is expected to be 3.0%. Compute the real interest rate (to two decimal places). What is the expected inflation rate for...
