Answer:

Country

  • c. B had the higher level of real GDP and Country A had the higher level of real GDP per person

Step-by-step explanation:

Country A's population 2,000, worked 1,300 with 8 hours a day with a productivity of 5 = 52,000 units of something produced. GDP per capita = 52,000 / 2,000 = 26 per capita

Country B's population 2,500, worked 1,700 with 8 hours a day with a productivity of 4 = 54,400 units of something produced. GDP per capita = 54,400 / 2,500 = 21.76 per capita
