Answer:

The answers are:

1. combined producer surplus = $69

2. Alice and Amber (b)

Explanation:

A producer surplus is the difference between how much a producer sells a product in the market, and how much he is willing to sell the product for, if the market price is higher than the price he was willing to sell the product for.

The combined producer surplus of the ladies is the sum of their individual producer surpluses, and it is calculated as follows;

Alice: willing price = $35, market price = $70, therefore surplus

= 70 - 35 = $35

Amber: willing price = $38, market price = $70, ∴ surplus = 70 - 38 = $32

Andy: willing price = $68, market price = $70, ∴ surplus = 70 - 68 = $2

Combined producer surplus = 35 + 32 + 2 = $69

b. In this case the price of the 5 inch pot in the market is $45, Alice and Amber will sell their pots because the price in the market exceeds their willing price of $35 and $38 respectively and they will make producer surpluses of $10 and $7 respectively, but Andi on the other hand will not sell her pot because if she does, she will make a loss, as her willing price is $68 and the market price is $45, if she goes ahead to sell she will incur a loss of $23.

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

a. 60,600

Explanation:

Given,

The number of units completed and transferred out = 6000,

Ending inventory = 3,000,

Percentage of completed units with respect to materials = 20%,

So, the additional completed units = 20% of 3000

=\frac{20\times 3000}{100}

=\frac{60000}{100}

= 600

Hence, the weighted average equivalent units of production for materials for the month = 60,000 + 600

= 60, 600

A country is in the midst of a recession with real GDP estimated to be $4.5 billion below potential GDP. The government's policy
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

a. The government needs to increase spending by $0.45 billion and decrease taxes by $0.5 billion.

b. The real GDP will fall short of potential GDP by $3.6 billion.

c. The real GDP will fall short of potential GDP by $4 billion.

d. If government overestimates MPC change in spending or taxes will be too small.

Explanation:

The GDP gap is $4.5 billion.

a. The marginal propensity to consume is 0.90.

Government spending multiplier

= \frac{1}{1-MPC}

=  \frac{1}{1-0.9}

= 10

The government needs to increase spending by

= \frac{GDP\ Gap}{Government\ spending\ multiplier}

= \frac{4.5}{10}

= $0.45 billion

Tax multiplier

= \frac{-MPC}{1-MPC}

= \frac{-0.9}{1-0.9}

= -9

The government needs to decrease taxes

= \frac{GDP\ Gap}{Tax\ multiplier}

= \frac{4.5}{9}

= $0.5 billion

b. The marginal propensity to consume is 0.50.

Government spending multiplier

= \frac{1}{1-MPC}

=  \frac{1}{1-0.5}

= 2

If the government  increases spending by $0.45 billion,

The real GDP will increase by

= Increase\ in\ spending\ \times\ Spending\ multiplier

= \$ 0.45\ \times\ 2

= $0.9 billion

The real GDP will fall short of potential GDP by

= $4.5 billion - $0.9 billion

= $3.6 billion

c. Tax multiplier

= \frac{-MPC}{1-MPC}

= \frac{-0.5}{1-0.5}

= -1

If the government decreases taxes by $0.5 billion

The real GDP will increase by

= $0.5\ billion\ \times 1

= $0.5 billion

The real GDP will fall short of potential GDP by

= $4.5 billion - $0.5 billion

= $4 billion

d. If the government overestimates the value of the MPC, then its change in spending or taxes will be too small and real GDP will fall short of potential GDP.
