For questions a, b

  • An additional $320 billion in spending is required.
  • Reduced consumption of $320 billion is needed for this to occur.

<h3>By how much must investment increase?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the investment accounts is  mathematically given as

x=($1tri / $8 tri) * 100

x= 12.5%

Now we know that the answer lies in the fact that the investment rate may be increased by 4% for every 1% rise in economic growth.

Therefore,

=($8 trillion * 0.165%)

=$1.32 trillion

The additional investment is 3.2% of GDP.

Therefore, an increase in investment of ($1320 - $1000) billion is needed to raise GDP growth by 1 percentage point.

This means an additional $320 billion in spending is required.

(b).

In conclusion, Since we were already aware that we would need to cut down on our spending in order to make this investment, we may conclude that:

Reduced consumption of $320 billion is needed for this to occur.

If the same number of units of good Y must be given up as each successive unit of good X is produced, then the PPF for these two
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

PPF : Downward Sloping Straight Line

Explanation:

PPF is the locus of product combinations that an economy can produce, given resources & technology.

It is downward sloping : Because of inverse relationship between two goods- if one has to be increased other has to be decreased , because of same resources & technology.

Marginal Opportunity Cost (Slope of PPC): is ratio of a good sacrifised to gain each additional unit of the other good.

∆ Good sacrifised / ∆ Good gained

If this ratio is same i.e constant amount of a good is sacrifised to gain an additional amount of the other one , the slope of PPC is constant & it is a straight line

Eg : Good1    Good2     MOC [∆Good2/∆Good1]

      0               20             _        

      10             10           -10/10 = -1                  (10-20)/(10-0)

       20              0           -10/10 = -1                   (0-10)(/20-10)

So , same (1) good 2 is sacrifised to attain a good 1 each time.

However Generally: MOC is increasing , because of assumption that resources are unequally efficient in various goods production - shifting good from efficient to inefficient increases sacrifise each time. This makes PPC usually concave.

astraxan [27]

Answer:

b. manufacturing overhead costs.

Explanation:

Manufacturing overhead cost refers to all costs associated with production apart from direct labor or direct materials. They are the indirect costs incurred during the manufacturing process. Manufacturing overhead costs are the production costs that can not be traced directly to the produced items.

Examples of manufacturing overhead costs include depreciation, repairs and maintenance, insurance, and heating costs. Some aspects of the costs, such as depreciation, insurance, rents for the manufacturing space, are fixed costs. They do not vary with production. Other elements of manufacturing costs, such as power, repairs, and utilities, are variable costs.
