Respuesta :

Answer:

Hare 2020 Real GDP per person = $15,572

Tortoise 2020 Real GDP per person = $3.999

Explanation:

To find the answer, we use the future value formula:

FV = PV (1 + i)^n

Where:

  • FV = Future Value
  • PV = Present Value
  • i = growth rate
  • n = number of years

For Hare:

FV = 1,000 (1 + 0.04)^70

     = 15,572

For Tortoise:

FV = 1,000 (1 + 0.02)^70

     = 3.999
