Question 7

To determine the relationship between capital goods (physical capital) and GDP, we analyze each option:

• The first option is about supply - demand and services, not related to capital goods and GDP.
• The second option is about currency conversion in European trade, irrelevant to the relationship.
• The third option is about trade exchanges for protection/blocking, not related.
• The fourth option: Investment in new technology (a form of physical capital) leads to increased production of services, which impacts GDP. So this option correctly describes the relationship as more investment in physical capital (new tech) can increase services production and thus GDP.

We analyze each option for the term describing a nation's labor force's knowledge, skills, and health:

• Currency: A medium of exchange, not related to labor force attributes.
• Literacy Rate: Only measures the ability to read/write, not all knowledge, skills, and health.
• Human Capital: By definition, it is the knowledge, skills, and health of a nation's labor force.
• Standard of Living: Refers to the level of material well - being, not labor force attributes.

Answer:

The more investment a country makes in new technology, the more likely it is that the services produced in the country will increase.
