a. Per capita real GDP in Belgium grew an annual rate of 1.9% in 1994-1995, while per capita real GDP in Malyasia grew an annual rate of 3.8%. Compute the doubling times.
b. Suppose the per capita was $22,000 in Belgium in 1997 and $11,000 in Malaysia in 1997. Assuming rhe same growth rate continue, what will the respective levels of per capita income be in these countries in 2034.
c. How long does it take per capita real GDP in Malyaisa to catch up with real GDP per capita in Belgium?

Please explain step-by-step! Thank you!

In proton beam therapy, a beam of high-energy protons is used to kill cancerous cells in a tumor. In one system, the beam, which consists of protons with an energy of 2.8×10−11J, has a current of 72 nA. The protons in the beam mostly come to rest within the tumor. The radiologist has ordered a total dose corresponding to 3.8×10−3J of energy to be deposited in the tumor.

Part A How many protons strike the tumor each second? Express your answer as a number of protons.

Part B: How long should the beam be on in order to deliver the required dose?

You bought one of Bergen Manufacturing Co.’s 5.4 percent coupon bonds one year ago for $1,053. These bonds make annual payments and mature twelve years from now. Suppose you decide to sell your bonds today when the required return on the bonds is 4.5 percent.

  

If the inflation rate was 3.8 percent over the past year, what would be your total real return on the investment? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
