Answer to Question 1

The growth rate of real GDP per person equals the growth rate of real GDP minus the population growth rate. Hence, in the question at hand, the real GDP per person growth rate equals 4 percent minus 2 percent, or 2 percent.

Answer to Question 2

An increase in the money wage rate decreases aggregate supply and shifts the aggregate supply curve leftward. It has no effect on potential GDP.
