Answer:

D. Tim consumes more hamburgers and fewer hot dogs.

Explanation:

For his utility to remain constant, Tim will neither consume more goods in total, nor spend more money than before.

Therefore, because the price of hot dogs has risen, while the price of hamburger has remained the same, he will now buy more hamburgers and less hot dogs, because eating more hamburgers and less hot dogs will not decrease his satisfaction, it will remain the same. We can also conclude from that both fast food products are perfect substitutes for Tim.

Suppose that a researcher discovers that a measure of the total amount of debt in the U.S. economy over the past twenty years wa
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Not necessarily. Although the total amount of debt has predicted inflation and the business cycle better than M1 or M2, it may not be a better predictor in the future.

<h3><u>What is inflation?</u></h3>
  • Price increases, or inflation, can be thought of as the gradual loss of purchasing power.
  • The average price increase of a selection of products and services over time can serve as a proxy for the rate at which buying power declines.
  • A unit of currency effectively buys less as a result of the increase in pricing, which is sometimes stated as a percentage.
  • Deflation, which happens when prices fall and buying power rises, can be compared to inflation.
  • The objective of measuring inflation is to determine the overall effect of changes in price for a variety of goods and services.

Without some theoretical reason for believing that the total amount of debt will continue to predict well in the future, we may not want to define money as the total amount of debt.
