3 0

Answer:

1) Household consumption, which accounts for about <u>68%*</u> of the economy, grew at a 4.2% annualized rate during the second quarter of 2016.

*Data obtained from federal government sources.

2) Since household/consumer spending (consumption) represents almost 70% of the nation's GDP, any change will cause a major change in the total GDP. E.g. if consumption increases by 5%, then the whole economy will grow by 5% x 68% = 3.4%.

If the federal open market committee decides to increase the money supply, then
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

the Federal Reserve creates dollars and uses them to purchase government bonds from the public.

Explanation:

The money supply is increased by the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee under expansionary monetary policy actions to increase the level of aggregate demand in the market and push the level of output when business activity in the economy is low and the economy is experiencing a recession.

The FOMC creates dollars and uses them to purchase government bonds from the public that injects money in the market by increasing the credit creation capacity of commercial banks. As the money supply increases, the spending capacity of consumers is increased, either by lowering the cost of debt on their credit cards or by increasing employment in the market with increased investments by firms as they borrow with greater zeal when the cost of borrowing is low.

During a certain year, the nominal interest rate was 7 percent, the real interest rate was 4 percent, and the CPI was 198.3 at t
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

CPI at the beginning of the year = 192.52

Explanation:

given data

nominal interest rate = 7 percent

real interest rate = 4 percent

CPI = 198.3

to find out

CPI at the beginning of the year

solution

we know that according to fisher equation

1 + r = \frac{1+n}{1+i}    ....................1

and for smaller values is equivalent to r

r = n - i           .....................2

here r is real interest rate and n is nominal interest rate and i is inflation rate

so from equation 2

4 = 7 - inflation rate

inflation rate = 3 percent

so

Rate of inflation = (CPI at the end of the year - CPI at the beginning of the year) × 100 ÷ CPI at the beginning of the year

put here value

3% = (198.3 - CPI at the beginning of the year) × 100 ÷  CPI at the beginning of the year

CPI at the beginning of the year = \frac{19830}{103}

CPI at the beginning of the year = 192.52

viktelen [127]

Answer:

The answer is TRUE.

According to the law of increasing costs, the cost of producing kiwis will increase.

Explanation:

The law of increasing costs states that as more factors of production are shifted from making one product or service to a second product or service, the cost of producing the second item increases.

As we can see in the scenario given above, the community of Desertville initially produced a small amount of Kiwi fruit. But as kiwis became more popular, its cultivation had to be expanded, therefore, increased costs would be incurred in the process of this expansion.
