Answer:

The given question is not complete. So, the correct and complete question is given below.

Suppose that consumer spending initially rises by $5 billion for every 1 percent rise in household wealth and that investment spending initially rises by $20 billion for every 1 percentage point fall in the real interest rate. Also assume that the economy's multiplier is 3.

a. If household wealth falls by 5 percent because of declining house values, and the real interest rate falls by 2 percentage points, in what direction and by how much will the aggregate demand curve initially shift at each price level? b. In what direction and by how much will it eventually shift?

The solution of this question is given below in the explanation section

Explanation:

a)If household wealth falls by 5 percent because of declining house values, and the real interest rate falls by 2 percentage points, in what direction and by how much will the aggregate demand curve initially shift at each price level?

<u>Solution:</u>

Household wealth falls by 5 percent, so the consumer spending will decline by $5 billion per 1%.

Therefore, we first calculate the declining in consumption of household.

Decline in consumption=5 billion x 5% = $250 million

So,consumption in Aggregate demand falls by $250 million .

Now, we will calculate the declineing in interest rate:

Decline in Interest rate = 2% and investment speding increases by $20 billion for every 1%

Therefore, increase in investment spending = $20 billion x 2% = $400 million

Now, we will calculate the change in aggregate demand (AD)

Change in AD = change in consumption + change in investment

= 400 - 250 million = $150 million

Initially, aggregate demand curve shifts to the right by $150 million but the shift will be bigger due to the multiplier effect.

b) Given multiplier = 3

So, Real GDP changes by $150 million x 3 = $450 million

So,initially Aggregate demand curve shift to the right by $150 million but eventually shifts to the right by $450 million due to the multiplier.

Suppose nominal GDP in the base year was $380 million. Five years later, nominal GDP was $480 billion and the GDP price index wa
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer: increased by $20 billion

Explanation:

Real GDP is year of interest is:

= (Nominal GDP in year of interest/ GDP Price index in year of interest) * 100

= 480/120 * 100

= $400 billion

Nominal GDP is equal to Real GDP in base year so increase in real GDP is:

= 400 - 380

= $20 billion

The investor-supplied items—debt, preferred stock, and common equity—are called capital components. Increases in assets must be
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The statement is true; companies usually attain extra financing either by debt or equity (Preferred stock or common stock). Organisations for the most part have a decision with respect to whether to look for Preferred stock, common stock or Debt financing. The decision frequently relies on which source of financing is most effectively available for the organisation. Firms and organisation use that extra funds from stock to invest in new ventures and to buy new machinery, which increases the overall assets of the company.

adell [148]

Answer: $369,500

The Cost concept of accounting calls for the recording of Assets at their cost.

Clementine Repair services offered to buy the land at $350,500 when it was priced at $388,500.

The seller countered with $369,500 and Clementine accepted this.

This means that Clementine bought the land for $369,500 which makes it the cost price.

They should therefore record it at $369,500.

North Division has the following information:
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

due to elimination

income will decrease by $526000

Explanation:

Given data

Sales =  $1180000  

Variable expenses = $654000  

Fixed expenses =  $620000

to find out

incremental effect on net income

solution

we know here total sale is $1180000 and Variable expenses is  $654000

so contribution  if the division is dropped is sales - Variable expenses

put these value

contribution = 1180000 - 654000

contribution = 526000

so we say that due to elimination

income will decrease by $526000
