Computation of the labor productivity:-
Labor productivity = Real GDP (Total output) / Total number of workers-hours
= $400,000 / 40,000
= $10 per worker hour
Correct option is a) $10 per worker-hour
Computation of the real GDP growth rate in year 2:-
Real GDP growth rate in year 2 = (Real GDP in year 2 - Real GDP in year 1) / Real GDP in year 1
= ($260 - $250) / $250
= $10 / $250
= 4%
Correct option is a) 4 percent
