Answer to Question 1

The gap between the natural unemployment rate and actual unemployment rate is 7 percent minus 4 percent, which is 3 percentage points. According to Okun's Law, for each percentage point gap in the unemployment rate, there is a 2 percent gap between real GDP and potential GDP. So real GDP is 3 percent  2 = 6 percent below potential GDP.

Answer to Question 2

C
