Lady bird [3.3K]

The answer is GDP per capita. The Gross Domestic Product just shows the wealth of a nation as a whole since GDP is the value measure of the all the final goods and services produced over a period of time by a country. GDP per capita shows the average wealth per person (hence involves dividing the GDP of a country by its population).

How do stocks and bonds differ?

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The most suitable answer is Stocks may help you protect your money from inflation while bonds may be more susceptible to losing their value over time due to inflation.

Now remember, this is not "guaranteed" as stocks come with higher risks comparing to bonds, yet in US share market, stocks have performed well than the bonds overall. This is because stock prices fluctuate and if the company invested in is performing well, the share prices can sky rocket over a long period while in bonds you don't see this often as they are issued for a specific time and represents the debt capital.
