Answer:

The GDP will increase by $2,000 as a result of these transactions

Explanation:

When trying to calculate the increase in GDP caused by a series of transactions, we do not add all the transactions, instead we look at the price of the final good and that is the increase in GDP. In this case the final good is the necklace that the store department sells for $2,000 therefore we will only consider the final transaction. So the GDP will increase by $2,000 as a result of this series of transactions because the final good sold for $2,000.

viktelen [127]

Answer and Explanation:

1> Let's solve the standard economic model first based on rational expectation.

Since the medium willingness to pay is $5, we can assume half the people have more willingness to pay than $5 and half the people have less. (Since it's a large class, we can assume this)

So, half of them who got the mug will sell, according to standard theory.

2> Now behavioral economist will disagree. People who got the mug, get an emotional and nostalgic attachment with it, thus they would not like to sell it because they get utility after having something, so by behavioral theory, less than half of pupils who got the mug will sell.

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

The answer is: 1,375 balloon bundles

Explanation:

We can calculate how many balloon bundles must be sold using the following formulas:

  • contribution margin per unit =  Selling price per unit – Variable cost per unit
  • Units = (Fixed costs + Target profit) / (contribution margin per unit)

Contribution margin per unit = $10 - $2 = $8

units = ($5,000 + $6,000) / $8 = $11,000 / $8 = 1,375 units
