B. It increased, but it less than doubled
Explanation:
Real GDP per person is defined as the total economic output divided by the total number of people. It is used in roughly indicating the standard of living.
An increased in the nominal GDP 3 times its formal will lead to a proportionate increase in the GDP per person statistics.

Answer:
Anderson Cleaning Service's liabilities were $2,160
Explanation:
Basing on accounting equation:
Total asset = Liabilities + Owner's (or Stockholders') Equity
Liabilities = Total asset - Owner's (or Stockholders') Equity
At the end of a recent year, Anderson Cleaning Service had total assets of $5,810 and equity of $3,650
Anderson Cleaning Service's liabilities = Total asset - Equity = $5,810 - $3,650 = $2,160
Answer:
Project A
Years Cashflows Discount factor Present values
0 250,000 1 -250,000
1-10 45,100 6.144 277,094.40
Sum of all present value=NPV=27,094.40
IRR (by using trial and error method) = 12.4696%
Note: Discount factor for the year 1-10 is calculated by using annuity formula i.e [1-(1+10%)]/10% = 6.144
Project B
Years Cashflows Discount factor Present values
0 (350,000) 1 (350,000)
1 72,500 0.91 65,975
2 65,500 0.83 54,365
3 73,800 0.75 55,350
4 71,500 0.68 48,620
5 69,800 0.62 43,276
6 75,500 0.56 42,280
7 31,000 0.51 15,810
8 47,500 0.47 22,325
9 55,500 0.42 23,310
10 29,200 0.38 11,096
Sum of all present values=NPV=32,407
IRR(by using trial and error method=12.4186%
On the basis of NPV project B is better because it gives higher NPV than project A. Whereas, Project A is better than project B on the basis of IRR because project A has slightly higher IRR than project B.
b)The conflict between both the investment appraisal technique is likely due to different cash flow patterns of both the project. In such situation decision should be based on NPV because this is an absolute measure
