Answer:

Either the price level or real GDP must increase

Explanation:

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is used to measure the economic growth, purchasing power, and overall economic health of a country. nominal Gross Domestic Product, measures the value of all final goods and services produced within a country’s borders at current market prices. It takes change in prices and interest rates, inflation and money supply into account when calculating a country’s gross domestic product. Real GDP takes nominal GDP and adjusts for inflation or deflation by comparing and converting prices to a base year’s prices. For nominal GDP to rise there must be increase on either the price level or real GDP.

Knowledge Check 01 Which of the following is a correct statement regarding control of over-the-counter cash receipts: multiple c

nevsk [136]

Answer: The supervisor should compare the register transactions with the cash receipts report to make sure that both are correct.

Explanation:

The cash register shows the actual amount of money that is collected by the business during the day and the cash receipts journal records the cash collected.

There is therefore a need to ensure that these two tally up as a control method. The supervisors should therefore check for this and if they find that these two are not the same, it means that there is an error somewhere that needs to be rectified.

"In a Real Estate Limited Partnership, the general partner refinances an existing $5,000,000 mortgage on a $10,000,000 property

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Increase interest deductions for the limited partners.

Explanation:

In the given scenario the general partner refinances an existing $5,000,000 mortgage on a $10,000,000 property to the original amount of $8,000,000. The interest rate on both mortgages is the same.

Refinancing a loan means that more money is disbursed to the borrower before the termination of the loan.

When a loan is refinanced at the same interest rate the borrower pays more interest.

For example if the mortgage remains at $5,000,000 the interest paid on this principal will be lower.

When the loan is refinanced to $8,000,000 at the same Interest rate the interest paid will be higher because principal is higher.

So the general partner aims to increase the amount of interest paid.

Refer to the information in Homework 2 Question 2: Ross derives utility from only two goods, chocolates (x) and donuts (y). His

Margaret [11]

Answer:

The total effect is 35 out of which income effect is 15 and substitution effect is 20.

Explanation:

Ross has an income of $1440.

The price of chocolates (Px) is $10 and donuts (Py) is $9.

The utility function is given as

U = 0.5xy

Before price rise, Budget line:

1440 = 10x + 9y,

Consumption is optimal when

$\frac{MUx }{ MUy} = \frac{Px}{Py} = \frac{10}{9} = 1.11$

0.5y / 0.5x= 1.11

y = 1.11x

Substituting in budget line,

1440 = 10x + 9y = 10x + 9(1.11x)

1440 = 10x + 9.99x

19.99x = 1440

x = 72

y = 1.11x = 79.92 = 80

After price rise,

Py = 16.

New budget line:

1440 = 10x + 16y,

Price ratio

$\frac{Px}{Py } = /$

= $\frac{10}{16}$

= 0.625

And,

$\frac{MUx}{Muy} = \frac{0.5y}{0.5x} = 0.625$

$\frac{y}{x} = 0.625$

y = 0.625x

Substituting in new budget line: 1440 = 10x + 16y

1440 = 10x + 16(0.625)x

1440 = 20x

X = 72

Y = 0.625x = 45

So, total effect (TE)

= Decrease in consumption of y

= 80 - 45

= 35

With previous (x, y) bundle,

U = 0.5xy

U = 0.5 x 72 x 80

U = 2880

Keeping utility level the same & substituting,

y = 0.625x in utility function:

28800 = 0.5xy

$2880 = 0.5\ \times\ 0.625x$

$2880 = 0.3125x^{2}$

$x^{2} = \frac{2880}{0.3125}$

$x^{2} = 9216$

$x = \sqrt{9216}$

x = 96

Now, putting the value of x,

y = $0.625\ \times\ x$

y = $0.625\ \times\ 96$

y = 60

Substitution effect (SE)

= 80 - 60

= 20

Income effect

= TE - SE

= 35 - 20

= 15
