Answer:

$1.558 trillion

Explanation:

Given an initial GDP of $1 trillion and an average growth rate of 3% per year, at the end of 15 years, the GDP would have risen to:

[tex]GDP_{2000} * (1+r)^{15}[/tex]

[tex]= 1 trillion * (1+0.03)^{15}[/tex]

[tex]= 1 trillion * (1.03)^{15}[/tex]

[tex]= 1 trillion * 1.558[/tex]

= 1.558 trillion.
