Answer:

If MPC is 0.8, Change in GDP    =  $500 million

If MPC is 0.95, Change in GDP =  $2,000 million

Explanation:

<em>Expenditure Multiplier is the amount by which the real GDP will change if autonomous expenditure changes by a given amount.</em>

It is calculated as follows: 1/(1-MPC).

MPC is the portion of additional income that is spent. If the MPC is 0.8, then the expenditure multiplier will be = 1/(1-0.8) = 5

Using the first scenario with an increase in government spending by $100million, the resulting change in GDP would be

Change in GDP =  change in autonomous expenditure × Multiplier

                          = 100 ×  5 = $500 million

<em>Scenario 2, MPC of 0.95</em>

Expenditure Multiplier = 1/(1-0.95) = 20

Change in GDP= 100 × 20 = $2000 million

Explanation:

The Financial Statement effects of each transaction is a reflection of how each transaction affects at least two opposite elements of the financial statement.  Every transaction affects the elements of the financial statement in one way or another, which enables the accounting equation to remain in balance.

For example, a transaction may increase the assets and also increase either the liabilities or equity side of the balance sheet.

In our example, the transactions affected only the balance sheet.  This means that each transaction increases or decreases the assets, liabilities, or equity sections.

A study reported that a 10% increase in the price of cigarettes would reduce consumption by 4% in the short-run and by 7.5% in t
Alja [10]

Answer:

Price elasticity of demand shows how much a 1% change in the price of a good or services changes the quantity demanded.

In the short run, a 10% increase in price decreases quantity demanded by 4%

PED short run = % change in price / % change in quantity = 4% / 10% = 0.4

PED long run = % change in price / % change in quantity = 7.5% / 10% = 0.75

Both PEDs are inelastic since they are less than 1, which means that an increase in price will result in a proportionally smaller decrease in the quantity demanded. But the PED in the long run is less inelastic, which means that an increase in price will decrease the quantity demanded more in the long than in the short run.

This happens because smokes consider that cigarettes are a basic necessity, so they are willing to purchase them even if the price increases. But as time passes (long run), more smokers will consider that it is not worth paying that much for cigarettes and will probably quit smoking or at least reduce the number of cigarettes they smoke per day.
