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.

Assume the bid rate of an Australian dollar is $0.60 while the ask rate is $0.61 at Bank Q. Assume the bid rate of an Australian

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

$16,393.44

Explanation:

Calculation for what would be your gain

Gain=$1,000,000/($0.61 per AUD)*$0.62 per AUD - $1,000,000

Gain=1,639,344*$0.62 per AUD - $1,000,000

Gain=$16,393.44

Therefore what would be your gain if you use $1,000,000 and execute locational arbitrage will be $16,393.44

Veronica Mars, a recent graduate of Bell's accounting program, evaluated the operating performance of Dunn Company's six divisio

anygoal [31]

Answer:

Effect on income= -$49,500

They lost the positive contribution margin increased by the fixed costs. Veronica is wrong.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Veronica made the following presentation to Dunn's board of directors and suggested the Percy Division be eliminated. "If the Percy Division is eliminated," she said, "our total profits would increase by $25,500.

Percy Division

Sales= $100,000

Cost of goods sold= 76,000

Gross profit= 24,000

Operating expenses= 49,500

Net income= (25,500)

In the Percy Division, the cost of goods sold is $59,000 variable and $17,000 fixed, and operating expenses are $29,000 variable and $20,500 fixed.

None of the Percy Division's fixed costs are avoidable.

Effect on income= -contribution margin - fixed costs

Effect on income= -(100,000 - 88,000) - 37,500= -$49,500

They lost the positive contribution margin increased by the fixed costs.
