Answer:

(a) 10.4%; 16.73%

(b) 6.33%

Explanation:

Given that,

Wages paid to the workers in 2016 = $25 per hour

Price level in 2016 = 241

Wages paid to the workers in 2017 = $41 per hour

Price level in 2017 = 245

Real wage rate in 2016:

= (Nominal wages ÷ Price level) × 100

= ($25 ÷ 241) × 100

= 0.104 × 100

= 10.4%

Real wage rate in 2017:

= (Nominal wages ÷ Price level) × 100

= ($41 ÷ 245) × 100

= 0.1673 × 100

= 16.73%

Therefore, the real wage increase received by these workers in​ 2017 is calculated as follows:

= Real wage rate in 2017 - Real wage rate in 2016

= 16.73% -  10.4%

= 6.33%

Hence, these workers do get a raise between the two years.

Real GDP per capita is NOT an adequate measure of
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

The correct answer is the well-being of each person in an economy.

Explanation:

Also known as the "Standard of living", this is something that cannot be reflected from the per capital income, whether it's nominal or real. The reason is when you divide the GDP from the population, the assumption is all the GDP is distributed among the population equally.

But this is not the case in the real world and there are many variances, discrimination, discrepancies and inequalities when the wealth and resources are distributed.
