1. Economists use real GDP as a measure of living standards as it eliminates the effects of inflation by using the price index of the base period over the current period, which is also called the GDP deflator.

2. Real GDP per capital. Reason explained above.

3. 5million dollars divided by 100, therefore it would be 5000.

4. False. With the advancement of technology, capital becomes more productive and efficient, meaning they produce more output using the same amount of input.
