Answer:

Real GDP per capita​ (in 2013​ dollars) was 34767.2

Explanation:

For computing, the real GDP per capita for 2013, the following formula should be used

Real GDP per capita in 1950= (Real GDP per capital in 1950 ÷ CPI in 1950 ) × CPI in 2013

= $10,900 ÷ 58 × 185

= 34767.2

Simply, we do proportion to get the Real GDP for 2013 year based on the Real GDP for the 1950 year.

The other items should not be considered in the computation part. Hence, ignored it.
