Question

Italy is a relatively rich country with per-capita GDP of $28,000. India is a relatively poor with per-capita GDP of only $3,500. However, India is growing rapidly at a growth rate of 5% per year.

At this growth rate, how many years will it take for India’s per capita GDP to equal Italy’s current per-capita GDP of $28,000?

Correct! At the current growth rate of 5%, in 42 years India’s per-capita GDP will reach that of Italy’s at $28,000.

Sorry, that’s incorrect. It will take more time than your answer!
