2 answers:

8 0

Okay so rewards and penalties make people make better decisions. So like if I don't get questions wrong on a test I receive $5 from my parents, but if I fail a test I'm grounded for a week. So I study more to get money. (this is not actually me just making an example). Rewards make people want to do better, and so do penalties. I don't want to do bad and get punished for it.

kolezko [41]

Answer:

a. 5.819 million

b. $709918

Explanation:

Below is the calculation:

a. Total number of adult population = 253 million

Total employed adult = 253 x 59.7% = 151.041

Number of employed adult after increase in employment rate = 253 x 62% = 156.86

More people would be working = 156.86 - 151.041 = 5.819 million

b. GDP per capita is $122,000, so increase in GDP = 5.819 x 122000

Increase in GDP = $709918
