6.The amount of Country A’s increase in GDP per labor hour that can be attributed to the change in capital per labor hour is closest to:
A) 2.50%.
B) 3.33%.
C) 5.00%.
D) 1.67%.
The correct answer was D)
According to the “one-third” rule, at a given level of technology, a one percent increase in capital per labor hour results in a one-third of one percent increase in real GDP per labor hour. If capital labor per hour grew by 5%, then the capital growth contribution to the increase in GDP is 1.67% (1/3 x 5%).
7.If in the next year, Country A’s investment in new capital increases by an additional $0.90 per labor hour, and the level of technology remains unchanged, GDP per labor hour will increase:
A) and the increase will be greater than the increase resulting from the previous decade’s $0.90 increase in investment in new capital.
B) by the same amount as from the previous decade’s $0.90 increase in investment in new capital.
C) and the increase will be two-thirds of the increased investment in new capital.
D) and the increase will be less than the increase resulting from the previous decade’s $0.90 increase in investment in new capital.
The correct answer was D)
In accordance with the law of diminishing returns, at a given level of technology, the increase in GDP per labor hour will decrease as incremental capital per labor hour is added.
8.Country B has implemented policies to ensure that an adequate incentive system is in place to foster economic development in the country. Which of the following are the three components necessary for a country to establish such a system?
A) Markets, property rights, and monetary exchange.

C) Monetary exchange, investment in human capital, and discovery of new technologies.
D) Property rights, monetary exchange, and investment in human capital.
The correct answer was A)
The three most basic components necessary for a country’s economic growth are markets, property rights, and monetary exchange. Markets allow for the exchange of information among buyers and sellers. Property rights give assurance that no entity can confiscate savings and investments of a country’s citizens. Monetary exchange facilitates the efficient exchange of goods and services.

A) a decrease in real interest rates.

The correct answer was A)
The new growth theory contends that the two main catalysts of growth are the creation of knowledge capital and lower real interest rates.

Statement 1: | “The most important precondition for a society to realize economic growth is an incentive system that includes markets, property rights, and monetary exchange.” |
Statement 2: | “Most technological progress involves improvements in the productivity of physical capital.” |
Statement 3: | “The classical theory of economic growth contends that the most important economic influence on population growth is the opportunity cost for women entering the workplace.” |
Which of the following best describes the accuracy of these statements?
| Statement 1 | Statement 2 | Statement 3 |
A) Correct Incorrect
Incorrect
B) Incorrect Correct Incorrect
C) Correct Correct Incorrect
D) Correct Correct Correct
The correct answer was C)
Statement 3 is incorrect. It is the neoclassical theory of economic growth (not the classical theory) that contends that population growth is a direct function of the opportunity cost for women entering the workplace.
