Answer:

a. exchange rate = 1

b. exchange rate = 1.5

Explanation:

(a) National Saving = Private saving + public saving

Private saving = Y - C - T

=> Private saving = 5000 - (250 + 0.75(Y – T)) - 1000

=> Private saving = 5000 - (250 + 0.75(5000 – 1000)) - 1000 = 750

Public saving = T - G = 1000 - 1000 = 0

National saving = 750 + 0

= 750

Investment = 1000 - 50r = 1000 - 50*5

= 750

Y = C + I + G + NX

Trade Balance = Y - C - G - I = 5000 - (250 + 0.75(5000 – 1000)) - 1000 - 750 = 0

Thus Trade Balance = 0

NX = 0 => NX = 500 – 500e = 0

=> e = 1

Thus exchange rate = 1

(b)

National Saving = Private saving + public saving

Private saving = Y - C - T

=> Private saving = 5000 - (250 + 0.75(Y – T)) - 1000

=> Private saving = 5000 - (250 + 0.75(5000 – 1000)) - 1000 = 750

Public saving = T - G = 1000 - 1250 = -250

National saving = 750 - 250

= 500

Investment = 1000 - 50r = 1000 - 50*5

= 750

Y = C + I + G + NX

Trade Balance = Y - C - G - I = 5000 - (250 + 0.75(5000 – 1000)) - 1250 - 750 = -250

Thus Trade Balance = -250

NX = -250 => NX = 500 – 500e = -250

=> e = 750/500 = 1.5

Thus exchange rate = 1.5

Kitty [74]

Answer:

cash provided by operating activities 84,000

Explanation:

net income 75,000

Adjustment (A)

gain on land (500)

depreciation 1,500

Adjusted net income 76,000

Change in working capital

↑account receivable (3,000) (B)

↓long term AR 10,000 (C)

↑Account payable 1,000 (D)

Net changes 8,000

cash provided by operating activities 84,000

<u>Notes:</u>

(A)

The net income may have non-monetary term, we need to remove those to get and adjusted net income on a cash basis

the gain on land is not a monetary term. We will record the proceeds in cash for the sale under investment activities, not operating as the business is not selling land every year.

depreciation is an accounting metric, is not an actual expense, it doesn't involve cash.

(B)

the increasein the Ar means more sales were not collected therefore, less cash collected.

(C)

the decrease in the long term AR represent the collection, so it increases the cash

(D)

the increase in account payable represent the delay of payment, so company has more cash available.

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer ise. do nothing and leave prices unchanged.

Explanation:

It has been observed that many oligopolistic industries exhibit an appreciable degree of price rigidity or stability. In other words, in many oligopolistic industries prices remain sticky or inflexible, that is, there is no tendency for oligopolists to change the price even if economic conditions undergo a change.

There have been many explanations of this price rigidity in the oligopoly and the most popular explanation is the so-called crooked demand curve hypothesis. The crooked demand curve hypothesis was presented independently by Paul M. Sweezy, an American economist, and by Hall and Hitch, Oxford economists.

It is to explain the price and production under oligopoly with product differentiation, that economists often use the hypothesis of the crooked demand curve. This is because when products under oligopoly differ, it is unlikely that when a company increases its price, all customers abandon it because some customers are intimately linked to it due to product differentiation.

As a result, the demand curve facing a company under differentiated oligopoly is not perfectly elastic. On the other hand, under the oligopoly without product differentiation, when a company increases its price, all its customers leave it, so that the demand curve faced by an oligopolist that produces a homogeneous product can be perfectly elastic.

Ex-post (in an accounting sense), Savings __________ equals Investment. However, ex-ante, __________ desired savings may very we

Alexxx [7]

Ex-post (in an accounting sense), Savings ALWAYS equals Investment. However, ex-ante, DESIRED savings may very well be different from DESIRED investment. It is the REAL INTEREST RATE which adjusts to make desired savings equal to desired investment.

Explanation:

In the basic, closed economy model, Savings=Investment. The reason for this is because, in this model, growing capital stock is not the only item taken into account in Investment. The other item is inventory accumulation.
Savings is whatever is left over after income is spent on consumption of goods and services, investment is what is spent on goods and services that are not 'consumed', but are durable.
Equilibrium in the goods market can be expressed in two equivalent ways: (1) desired national saving is equal to desired investment; AS = AD.
The real interest rate is the rate of interest an investor, saver or lender receives (or expects to receive) after allowing for inflation. It can be described more formally by the Fisher equation, which states that the real interest rate is approximately the nominal interest rate minus the inflation rate.
