Refer to the accompanying data, which is for a specific year in a hypothetical economy for which Okun's law is applicable. The amount of output being forgone by the economy is Multiple Choice • $12 billion. • $18 billion. • $218 billion. • $6 billion.
If actual GDP is $460 billion and there is a positive GDP gap of $40 billion, potential GDP is Multiple Choice • $420 billion. • $500 billion. • $880 billion. • $40 billion.
If actual GDP is $460 billion and there is a positive GDP gap of $10 billion, potential GDP is Multiple Choice • $450 billion. • $470 billion. • $910 billion. • $10 billion.
A nation's average annual real GDP growth rate is 5 percent. Based on the rule of 70, the approximate number of years that it would take for this nation's real GDP to double is Multiple Choice • 14. • 10. • 75. • 350. A nation's average annual real GDP growth rate is 1.4 percent. Based on the rule of 70, the approximate number of years that it would take for this nation's real GDP to double is Multiple Choice • 50. • 28. • 14. • 98.
If the natural rate of unemployment is 5 percent and the actual unemployment rate is 8 percent, then Okun's law indicates that the GDP gap is Multiple Choice • 6 percent. • 3 percent. • 5 percent. • 13 percent.
Suppose total output (real GDP) is $4,000 and labor productivity is $10. We can conclude that the number of worker hours must be Multiple Choice • 400. • 4,000. • 40. • 800. Suppose total output (real GDP) is $4,000 and labor productivity is $8. We can conclude that the number of worker hours must be
Multiple Choice • 500. • 3,200. • 50. • 32.
Assume the natural rate of unemployment in the U.S. economy is 4 percent and the actual rate of unemployment is 7 percent. According to Okun's law, the GDP gap as a percentage of potential GDP is Multiple Choice • 6 percent. • 11 percent. • 4 percent. • 3 percent.
If actual GDP is $700 billion and there is a negative GDP gap of $30 billion, potential GDP is Multiple Choice • $730 billion. • $670 billion. • $1,370 billion. • $30 billion. If actual GDP is $500 billion and there is a negative GDP gap of $15 billion, potential GDP is Multiple Choice • $515 billion. • $485 billion. • $985 billion. • $15 billion.
A nation's real GDP was $250 billion in Year 1 and $255 billion in Year 2. Its population was 120 million in Year 1 and 125 million in Year 2. What is its real GDP growth rate in Year 2?

Suppose total output (real GDP) is $2,000 and worker-hours are 10,000. We can conclude that labor productivity is Multiple Choice • $0.20. • $20,000. • $2. • $0.10. Suppose total output (real GDP) is $2,000 and worker-hours are 800. We can conclude that labor productivity is Multiple Choice • $2.50. • $16,000. • $25. • $0.80.
If 20,000 worker-hours produced a total output of $800,000 in an economy, then the labor productivity is Multiple Choice • $40 per worker-hour. • $80 per worker-hour. • $16 per worker-hour. • $160 per worker-hour. • $20 per worker-hour. If 40,000 worker-hours produced a total output of $800,000 in an economy, then the labor productivity is Multiple Choice • $20 per worker-hour. • $80 per worker-hour. • $32 per worker-hour. • $320 per worker-hour. • $40 per worker-hour.
You are given the following information about the economy: the nominal interest rate = 10 percent, and the real rate of interest = 3 percent. The inflation premium is
Multiple Choice • 7 percent. • 13 percent. • 10 percent. • 3 percent.
Assume that an economy has 500 workers, each working 1,000 hours per year. If the average real output per worker-hour is $20, then total output, or real GDP, will be rev: 10_12_2020_QC_CS-234699 Multiple Choice • $5 million. • $20 million. • $25 million. • $10 million.
If the natural rate of unemployment was 4 percent, the current unemployment rate was 8.5 percent, and potential GDP was $4,000 billion, then according to Okun's law the economy would have sacrificed Multiple Choice • $360 billion in output not produced. • $850 billion in output not produced. • $400 billion in output not produced. • $160 billion in output not produced.
If the rate of inflation is 14 percent per year, the price level will double in about Multiple Choice • 5 years. • 14 years. • 7 years. • 28 years. If the rate of inflation is 5 percent per year, the price level will double in about Multiple Choice • 14 years. • 5 years. • 18 years. • 10 years.
You are given the following information about the economy: the nominal interest rate = 8 percent, and the real rate of interest = 5 percent. The inflation premium is Multiple Choice • 3 percent. • 13 percent. • 8 percent. • 5 percent.
