Solution

a. The growth rate is calculated by the formula: ((Value in Year 2 - Value in Year 1) / Value in Year 1) * 100

  • Real GDP growth rate from year 1 to year 2: ((6666 - 5847) / 5847) * 100 = 14.0%
  • Population growth rate from year 1 to year 2: ((228 - 224) / 224) * 100 = 1.8%
  • Standard of living growth rate from year 1 to year 2: ((29237 - 26103) / 26103) * 100 = 12.0%

b. The growth rate is calculated by the formula: ((Value in Year 3 - Value in Year 2) / Value in Year 2) * 100

  • Real GDP growth rate from year 2 to year 3: ((7541 - 6666) / 6666) * 100 = 13.1%
  • Population growth rate from year 2 to year 3: ((237 - 228) / 228) * 100 = 3.9%
  • Standard of living growth rate from year 2 to year 3: ((31819 - 29237) / 29237) * 100 = 8.8%

c. The standard of living in the economy of Highlands grew slower between year 2 and year 3 compared to the growth between year 1 and year 2.
