The productivity curve of the country Britania is given to be P. Currently the combination of physical capital per worker and real GDP per worker of
Britania is at point A on the productivity curve. There are two other countries in the region, Zstan and Kryptan. These countries are similar to Britania in many aspects including technology, the level of education of the workforce and the supply of natural resources. However, Zstan has a higher savings
rate than Britania while Kryptan has a lower savings rate. Use the double-drop line tool to plot points to show the possible combinations of physical capital per worker and real GDP per worker for Zstan and
Kryptan. Label the combination for Zstan B and the combination for Kryptan C. Coordinates: (moron, 100m) Real GDP per worker — p

Physical capital per worker 20. Economic growth can be especially fast in countries that are playing catch-up to other countries with higher GDP per capita. As a result many
