Answer:
Quotas do not affect the equilibrium price, whereas tariffs do not affect the equilibrium quantity.
Explanation:
The import tariff decreases the import quality from AD to CB and increases the price of the good from P to P*. The import restricting effect and consumption effect is same for quotas and tariff. So, the deadweight loss from them is the same from quotas and tariff (HIJ and GEF).
Please observe the image attached.
However, tariff enables the government to increase their revenue from the imports while import quotas precludes such revenue (GEHI). Thus, the cost tariff is lower than the import quotas imposed.
Answer:
a) H0: u = presence of a unit root
HA: u ≠ presence of a unit root ( i.e. stationary series )
b) t stat = -0.064
c) We will reject the Null hypothesis and the next step will be to accept the alternative hypothesis
d) It is not valid to compare the estimated t stat with the corresponding critical value because a random walk is non-stationary while the difference is stationary because it is white noise
Explanation:
<u>a) stating the null and alternative hypothesis</u>
H0: u = presence of a unit root
HA: u ≠ presence of a unit root ( i.e. stationary series )
<u>b) performing the test </u>
critical value = -2.88
T stat = coefficient / std error
= -0.02 / 0.31 = -0.064
c) From the test, the value of T stat > critical value we will reject the Null hypothesis hence the next step will be to accept the alternative hypothesis
d) It is not valid to compare the estimated t stat with the corresponding critical value because a random walk is non-stationary while the difference is stationary because it is white noise
Answer:
Option D $1,190 is correct
Explanation:
Total units available 400 =200+100+100
Less: Ending inventory 160
Units sold 240
Sales revenue 2400 =240*10
Less: Cost of goods sold 1210 =(200*5)+(240-200)*5.25
Gross profit for the month 1190
Option D $1,190 is correct
Answer:
D) The discovery of oil reserves has resulted in a rightward shift of the long-run aggregate supply curve.
Explanation:
Since the discovery of oil, Almora's gross domestic product will start to grow (both nominal and real GDP). Since the aggregate supply exceeds the real GDP, it is reasonable to expect that the GDP will continue its expansion for several years. The only factor that can diminish economic expectations is that inflation increases so much that it will end up hurting the economy.
Having huge oil reserves doesn't mean that the standard of living has improved. Just look at Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, etc. The populations of these countries is either extremely rich or very poor. Or we can look at Venezuela and realize that everyone that doesn't work for the government is poor.
This scenario usually repeats in countries that rely only on natural resources.
