Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that GDP per capita is a measure of the average economic output per person in a country.
Recall that GDP (Gross Domestic Product) represents the total value of all goods and services produced within a country in a given period.
Recognize that 'per capita' means 'per person,' so GDP per capita divides the total GDP by the total population of the country.
Formulate the calculation as: \(\text{GDP per capita} = \frac{\text{Total GDP}}{\text{Total Population}}\).
Conclude that GDP per capita is calculated per person (resident of the country), not per firm, household, or dollar of exports.
