Answer:
E) bowed out shape of the production possibilities frontier.
Explanation:
The production possibilities frontier curve is usually has a bowed out shape because as the production of one of the products increases, the opportunity cost of producing the other product also increases.
As shown in the attached image, as the production of Y increases, the opportunity cost of producing X will also increase, giving the curve a bowed shape. The same happens to the opportunity cost of producing Y when the production of X increases.
Answer:
prices to fall according to the classical economists and unemployment to increase according to Keynes.
Explanation:
The classical economists believes that a decrease in aggregate demand for goods produced would being about fall in the prices of such goods. What this implies is that as more goods are produced, if such production is not backed by corresponding demand by consumers, the prices of such goods produced will eventually fall because supply is greater than demand.
For the Keynes, their argument is that a decrease in aggregate demand will cause unemployment to increase. This is because owners of businesses or employers would lay off their employees when goods produced exceeds the demand for such production by consumers. Here, owners of businesses pays their employees through sales of goods produced. So, when the goods produced are not purchased, then there will be excess availability of such goods; hence no sale or profit, from which salaries would be paid. The next step is to start laying off employees because employers cannot cover their running costs.
Answer: The Break-Even Point will reduce from $4,285.71 to $4,125
Explanation:
To get the Break-Even Point we can divide Fixed Assets by the Contribution margin.
The Contribution Margin is the Selling Price minus the Variable Cost.
For Scenario 1 the Break-Even Point will be,
= 15,000 / ( 6 - 2.50)
= $4,285.71
For Scenario 2 the Break-Even Point is,
= 16,500 / 6.5 -2.5
= $4,125
The Break-Even Point for Scenario 2 means that even though the higher Fixed Costs could have led to a higher Break-Even Point, the higher price contributed more than the fixed costs did and led to an ultimately lower Break-Even Point than the first Scenario.
Answer:
$3 trillion
Explanation:
Given that,
GDP = $15 trillion
consumption = $10 trillion
Government spending = $2.5 trillion
Taxes = $1 trillion
Net capital inflow = $0.5 trillion
Investment:
= GDP - Consumption - Government spending + Net capital inflow
= $15 - $10 - $2.5 + $0.5
= $3 trillion
We know that savings is equal to investment spending.
Therefore, the total savings for the economy of Neverwhere is $3 trillion.
