How does the economy work?

Your question is too broad. It took me two 48-hour courses to learn the basics of how the economy operates.

While it is interesting and I do not wish to discourage your curiosity, please make the question more specific.

For now, all I can say is that the primary function of an economy is integrating the 4 factors of production - Land, Labor, Enterprise and Capital - to produce goods profitably. This is made possible through the interactions between the consumers (also the labor), private firms, financial sector and the government sector. I would suggest watching a video on the circular flow on income on YouTube for more information on these interactions.

Furthermore, economics is concerned with solving the basic economic problem, which is the existence of unlimited wants in relation to the limited resources available on our planet. This leads us making choices (which wants to satisfy through production and consumption) and making sacrifices (which wants to give up as there only a limited amount of resources available). Economics in general deals with attempting to get the most out of the resources available. It deals with anticipating consumer behavior, trends and using this analyzed information to make decisions.

The last thing you should know is that economics is most broadly categorized into two field - Macroeconomics and Microeconomics.

Microeconomics deals with the interaction between individuals, i.e., individuals firms/industries, consumers. This deals with such things as factors affecting the demand of goods, the concept of elasticity, factor affecting supply of goods, the marginal utility theory and so forth.

Macroeconomics deals with the economy as a whole - this includes concepts such as national income (GDP), aggregate demand and supply, the multiplier effect, the factors affecting consumption, investment,government expenditure and net exports, the exchange rate systems and Balance of Payments.

P.S. In the above answer, I have only briefly mentioned the basics. If you would like further understanding of the basics then please YouTube/Google each economics term listed above.

A monopoly market is characterized by the inverse demand curve P = 1,200 – 40 Q and a constant marginal cost of $200. If the mar
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The profit maximizing output level declines by 2.5 units and the price rises by $100.

Explanation:

In a monopoly market the inverse demand curve is given as,

P = 1,200 - 40Q

The marginal cost of production of the last unit is $200.

The total revenue is

= Price\times Quantity

= 1,200Q - 40Q^{2}

The marginal revenue of the last unit is

= \frac{d}{dx} TR

= 1,200 - 80Q

At equilibrium the marginal revenue is equal to marginal price,

MR = MC

1,200 - 80Q = 200

80Q = 1,000

Q = 12.5

Putting the value of Q in the inverse demand function,

P = 1,200 - 40\times 12.5

P = $700

Now, if the marginal cost rises to $400,

At equilibrium the marginal revenue is equal to marginal price,

MR = MC

1,200 - 80Q = 400

80Q = 800

Q = 10

Putting the value of Q in the inverse demand function,

P = 1,200 - 40\times 10

P = $800

The aggregate demand curve shows a _____ relationship between _____ and _____ at a given spending growth.
rewona [7]

The aggregate demand curve shows a relationship between aggregate price level and demand at the given spending growth.

<h3>What is demand?</h3>

Demand is explained as the requirement of a certain product in the market, usually this demand is varied if the prices are changed and the demand also is impacted by the supply.

If the prices are high it is highly likely that the demand of that product will reduce if the product is not a necessity.

If the prices are lower the demand for the product will increase.

If the fed expands the money supply by $1 trillion, what will happen in the money market?
natta225 [31]
<span>If the Fed expands the money supply by $1 trillion, the money market will be (letter C.) the equilibrium interest rate will fall, and more money will exchanged in equilibrium. It is because people will have more money to spend. Some would choose to use this money to buy goods and services while other opt to put their money in banks which may lead to lower interest rates to persuade people in borrowing. </span>

Bodin Company manufactures finger splints for kids who get tendonitis from playing video games. The firm had the following inven
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Raw Material $191,000

Direct labor $300,000

Actual manufacturing overhead $170,000

Actual selling and administrative expenses $115,000

The company applies manufacturing overhead at the rate of 60 percent of direct-labor cost.

1.

Prime Cost = Direct Material + Direct Labor

Prime Cost = $191,000 + $300,000 = 491,000

2.

Cost of goods manufactured                                    $

Direct material                                                      $191,000

Add: Direct Labor                                                $300,000

Add: Manufacturing overhead                           <u>$170,000</u>

Manufacturing cost                                             <u>$661,000</u>

3.

Manufacturing cost                                             $661,000

Add: Work in process inventory at January 1    $235,000  

Less: Work in process inventory at January 31 <u>$251,000</u>

Cost of Goods Manufactured                             <u>$645,000</u>

4.

Cost of Goods Manufactured                             $645,000

Add: Finished Good inventory at January 1      $125,000  

Less: Finished Good inventory at January 31   <u>$117,000</u>

Cost of Goods Sold                                            <u>$653,000</u>

5.

Manufacturing overhead Account Balance

Actual overhead                = $175,000

Manufacturing overhead   = $180,000  (300,000 x 60% )

Over applied manufacturing overhead = $180,000 - $175,000

Over applied manufacturing overhead = $5,000
