Answer:
B) 790-700r
Explanation:
Aggregate Expenditure is the expenditure by all the sectors of economy. By Households = Consumption (C), By Firms = Investment (I), By government = Govt spending (G) & tax leakages (T), By Rest world = Next Exports (NX).
Autonomous Expenditure is the level of expenditure in economy, which doesn't depend on level of Income = Y.
AE = C + I + G + NX
[500 + 0.8 (Y-150) - 300r] + [200 - 400r] + 200 + 10
500 + 0.8Y - 120 - 300r + 200 - 400r + 210
500 - 120 + 200 + 210 - 300r - 400r + 0.8y
790 - 700r + 0.8y
As, it can be seen that the part of AE = '790 - 700r', excluding '0.8y' : is not dependent on Income Y. So, it is Autonomous Expenditure
Answer:
(B) $20 billion
Explanation:
Given a certain level of MPC, an increase in government spending (G) by a certain amount translates to an increase in aggregate demand (AD) through the relationship below.
where Δ means <em>change.</em>
<em />
Therefore, given ΔAD of $50 billion, and MPC of 0.6,
= 
= 
= ΔG = 50 * 0.4 = 20
Therefore, increase in government purchases = $20 billion.
Answer:
The correct answer is option (B) perfectly inelastic
Explanation:
It is a known facts that anytime tax is imposed on any goods at any given time, the tax falls totally on the consumers provided the elasticity of demand is zero.
Since increase in tax doesn't affect the demand for goods and services, and no matter the increment in price from the supplier, the demand remains the same. Therefore, the demand curve for goods Y is said to be perfectly inelastic.
Answer:
$410,000
Explanation:
The computation of the ending inventory under the LIFO method is shown below:
= Year end cost + difference of amount × price level index
where,
Year end cost = Beginning cost
Difference of amount = $400,000 - $300,000 = $100,000
Price level index = $440,000 ÷ $400,000 = 1.1
So, the inventory cost is
= $300,000 + $100,000 × 1.1
= $300,000 + $110,000
= $410,000
