Answer:

(a) 8%

(b) 5%

(c) 4%

Explanation:

According to the classical quantity theory of money,

Money supply × Velocity = Price Level × Real GDP

Money supply denoted by M

Velocity is denoted by V

Price level is denoted by P

Real GDP is denoted by Y

Therefore,

Change in M + Change in V = Change in P + Change in Y

Since, we know that V is constant, so V = 0

∴ Change in M = Change in P + Change in Y

(a) Nominal GDP = Price × Real GDP

Change in P + Change in Y = Change in Nominal GDP = Change in M

Change in M = 8%, it is given in the question.

Therefore, Change in Nominal GDP = 8%

(b) Change in M = Change in P + Change in Y

      8% = Change in P + 3%

Change in P = 8% - 3%

                     = 5%

We know that change in price level is the inflation rate. Hence, the inflation rate is equal to the 5%.

(c) Real interest rate is the difference between the nominal interest rate and  the inflation rate.

Real interest rate = Nominal interest rate - Inflation rate

                             = 9% - 5%

                             = 4%

Barriers to International Trade Countries often use various government regulations to manipulate the amount of goods and service
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

1. Embargoes and sanctions

When a trade embargo or sanctions are in play, depending on the strength of the nation or International organisation that imposed it, countries are not allowed to trade with the country that is under an embargo. Sometimes the trade embargo can be on all products and sometimes just specific sectors are targeted. An example is the current United States embargo on Venezuela which targets their oil sector and as such most countries are avoiding buying Venezuelan oil.

2. Tariffs

This is a method of reducing the amount of a certain good imported from outside. Tariffs are usually introduced to protect the domestic producers and supplier in an economy and work by taxing imports or placing a customs duty on them. They are usually imposed when the imports are cheaper than domestic Production.

3. Import Quota

Another way to protect the domestic economy. In this scenario, a country allows the import of a certain good only up to an extent for a period which is usually a year. For instance, the United States in this scenario could say that in 2020 only 500 megatons of Aluminum are allowed into the country from China. After that, no more is allowed until 2021.

4. Tariff.

This is a Tariff and as earlier explained, is meant to protect the domestic producers by taxing imports that are cheaper.

5. Import Quota.

This is clearly an import Quota as earlier described because the country is limiting the amount of a certain good that can come into it.

6. Embargoes and Sanctions.

This is a clear example of an embargo. The United States is limiting the amount of goods exported to North Korea because they are under sanctions and embargoes. The United States and Western nations do not want to export anything to North Korea that could aid it's Nuclear Industry so it is a targeted embargo on their nuclear industry.

When a retail merchandising business sells goods to a customer the amount of the sold merchandise is credited to the merchandise
Ghella [55]

Answer: False

Explanation:

The revenue account for a Retail Merchandising Business is also known as the Sales Account.

When goods are sold they are credited to the Sales Account and it is no different here.

Therefore, When a Retail Merchandising Business sells goods to a customer the amount of the sold merchandise is credited to the Sales Account which makes the above statement false.

What are the cons of using new residential sales/new home sales as a economic indicator?
rodikova [14]

Answer:

New home sales and existing home sales are released each month at about the same time. Many comparisons are made between the two series, but before doing any comparisons, one must be aware of some definition differences that affect the timing of the statistics.

The Census Bureau collects new home sales based upon the following definition: "A sale of the new house occurs with the signing of a sales contract or the acceptance of a deposit." The house can be in any stage of construction: not yet started, under construction, or already completed. Typically about 25% of the houses are sold at the time of completion. The remaining 75% are evenly split between those not yet started and those under construction.

Existing home sales data are provided by the National Association of Realtors®. According to them, "the majority of transactions are reported when the sales contract is closed." Most transactions usually involve a mortgage which takes 30-60 days to close. Therefore an existing home sale (closing) most likely involves a sales contract that was signed a month or two prior.

Given the difference in definition, new home sales usually lead existing home sales regarding changes in the residential sales market by a month or two. For example, an existing home sale in January, was probably signed 30 to 45 days earlier which would have been in November or December. This is based on the usual time it takes to obtain and close a mortgage.

Effective with January 2005, the National Association of Realtors created a new monthly series to overcome the lagging effect of the existing home sales definition. This new series is called Pending Home Sales and is based on sales of existing homes where the contract has been signed but the transaction has not been closed, making it roughly equivalent to the new home sales definition. Monthly estimates are expressed as an index where the year 2001 has been set to equal 100.0.
