Answer:The answer is $134billion

Explanation:

Initial increase in spending = $20billion

Marginal propensity to consume = 0.85

To calculate increase in spending, we use the formula for multiplier

K = 1 / 1 - MPC

K = 1 / 1 - 0.85

K = 1/ 0.15

K = 6.66

K = 6.7 approximately

To calculate how much the spending increase

We use the formula

K = change in national income / change in government spending

6.7 = change in national income / $20 billion

We cross multiply

Change in national income = 6.7 × $20billion

Change in national income = 134billion

Therefore the total spending increase by $134billion

Marianna [84]

Answer:

The labor market is the phrase used to describe the supply of labor by employees and demand of labor by the employers as such there is an interaction between the workers and the employers where wage is paid to the workers by the employers for the labor the workers supplied

Being educated gives an employee the capacity to be more productive and gives an indication of the potential of prospective employees to recruiters and employers. Therefore, qualifications attained are an advantage when seeking employment alongside many several other job seekers

Therefore, a grade 12 school-leaver competing for a job alongside several others with similar or tertiary education is less likely to secure a desired job or vocation

However, with a tertiary education, such job seekers would more readily convince recruiters about their ability to satisfactorily perform their desired job

Yanka [14]

Answer:

Ending Inventory  $ 64,000

Explanation:

To define the final inventory of the company it's necessary to find the cost of good of the period.  

As the company had a 43% of gross profit, it means that for every dollar of sales we have 0,43 dollar of Gross Profit, with this value is possible to know the total cost of the goods sold during the period, that it's the difference between Sales Revenue and Gross Profit.  

Total Sales Revenue had to be the net value after returns and discounts as it's detailed.  

Income Statement  

Sales revenue        $ 300,000  

Cost of goods sold  -$ 171,000  

Gross Profit            $ 129,000 43%

Distinguish between the substitution and income effects of a price change. If a good’s price increases does each effect have a p
vesna_86 [32]
The economics concepts of income effect and substitution effect express changes in the market and how these changes impact consumption patterns for consumer goods and services. The income effect expresses the impact of increased purchasing power on consumption, while the substitution effect describes how consumption is impacted by changing relative prices. Different goods and services experience these changes in different ways. Some products, called inferior goods, generally decrease in consumption whenever incomes increase. Consumer spending and consumption of normal goods typically increases with higher purchasing power, in contrast with inferior goods.

A point outside (to the right of) the production possibilities curve of a nation implies that this nation is using its resources
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

is not attainable for this nation

Explanation:

The Production possibilities frontiers is a curve that shows the various combination of two goods a company can produce when all its resources are fully utilised.  

The PPC is concave to the origin. This means that as more quantities of a product is produced, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good. As a result, less of the other product would be produced. So, the opportunity cost of producing a good increase as more and more of that good is produced.

Point outside the curve or to the right of the curve means that the production level is not attainable given the level of resources

Points inside the production possibilities curve means that the nations resources are not being fully utilised

Factors that cause the PPF to shift  

1. changes in technology.  

2. changes in available resources.  

3. changes in the labour force.
