Answer:

The correct answer is $250 billion.

Explanation:

An economy is operating at an output level of $4,000 billion.  

The potential output level is $5,000 billion.  

The marginal propensity to consume is 0.75.  

The recessionary gap is

= $5,000 billion - $4,000 billion

= $1,000 billion

ΔY = \frac{1}{1-MPC}\times \Delta G

$1,000 = \frac{1}{1-0.75}\times \Delta G

$1,000 = \frac{1}{0.25}\times \Delta G

$1,000 = 4 \times \Delta G

ΔG = \frac{1,000}{4}

The change in income required to correct this recessionary gap is $250 billion.

Margarita [4]

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

The government takes contractionary measures to check against rising inflation. Contractionary policies reduce liquidity in the market, thereby reducing the rate of money circulation.

<u> Four measures that may control inflation include</u>

1<u>. Increasing interest rates</u>: An increase in interest rates increases the cost of borrowing money. When the cost of money becomes expensive, firms and households reduce the borrowing rate, reducing the money supply rate. In turn, the inflation rate declines.

2. <u>Increasing reserve requirement:</u> Reserve is the proposition of customer discounts that commercial banks are expected to maintain at their custody at all times. Increasing the reserve requirement means banks will reduce lending, thereby reducing the money supply in the economy.

3. <u>The open market sells</u>: The government makes available many treasury bills and bonds for purchase in the market. It offers attractive rates that encourage banks and other institutions to buy them. Buying the treasury bills means banks will use a substantial percentage of customer deposits on treasury bills other than lending to customers. Open market sales mop up excess liquidity in the markets, reducing the rate of cash circulation.

4. <u>Reduction of government spending:</u> Government spending is a fiscal policy tool. The government is a big spender in an economy. If the level of spending is decreased, the money supply in the economy is reduced.

olga2289 [7]

Answer: Contract is voided

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Jillian and Chase are making a contract in which Jillian ships beaver pelts to Chase, who will then makes the pelts into hats to sell.

We are further told that a year into their contract, it becomes illegal to buy or sell beaver pelts in the United States. Based on the scenario explained, the contact will be voided.

A void contract is referred to as a formal agreement that cannot be enforceable and is not legitimate. Since it is illegal to either purchase or sell beaver pelts, it means that the context cannot be carried out anymore and should the be void.

Tanya [424]

The journal entry to record the receipt of inventory purchased for cash in a perpetual inventory system would be (D)

Jan. 1    Inventory                    1,500

                     Cash                                              1,500

<h3>What are journal entries?</h3>
  • A journal entry is an act of keeping or producing records of any economic or non-economic transaction.
  • An accounting journal, which shows a company's debit and credit balances, records transactions.
  • The journal entry can be made up of multiple records, each of which is either a debit or a credit.
  • Otherwise, the journal entry is termed unbalanced if the sum of the debits does not equal the total of the credits.

Inventory purchase journal entry:

  • Say you purchase $1,000 worth of inventory on credit.
  • Debit your Inventory account $1,000 to increase it.
  • Then, credit your Accounts Payable account to show that you owe $1,000.
  • Because your Cash account is also an asset, the credit decreases the account.

Therefore, the journal entry to record the receipt of inventory purchased for cash in a perpetual inventory system would be (D)

Jan. 1    Inventory                    1,500

                     Cash                                              1,500
