Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Potential GDP is the level of real GDP that the economy produces when it is at full employment. Potential GDP can be contrasted with actual real GDP, the amount of real GDP the country actually produces. Actual real GDP can be less than potential GDP when the economy is producing at less than full employment, that is, when there is less than full employment in the labor market. Actual real GDP equals potential GDP when the economy is producing at full employment. Actual real GDP can exceed potential GDP temporarily as the economy approaches and then recedes from a business cycle peak.
