Answer:
The correct answer is D. will result in a multiple times higher decrease in equilibrium real GDP in the short run; however, a tax-rate reduction will increase the automatic-stabilizer properties of the tax system, so equilibrium real GDP would be less stable.
Explanation:
Ricardian Equivalence is an economic theory that suggests that when a government increases expenses financed with debt to try to stimulate demand, demand does not really undergo any change.
This is because increases in the public deficit will lead to higher taxes in the future. To keep their consumption pattern stable, taxpayers will reduce consumption and increase their savings in order to offset the cost of this future tax increase.
If taxpayers reduce their consumption and increase their savings by the same amount as the debt to be returned by the government, there is no effect on aggregate demand.
The fundamental concept of Ricardian equivalence is that it does not matter which method the government chooses to increase spending, whether by issuing public debt or through taxes (applying an expansive fiscal policy), the result will be the same and demand will remain unchanged.
Answer:
b
e
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
On July 15, there is pending 6000 on the cash account.
Then on July 20, Cajon Co. returns the merchandise of 1000, so the pending cash decreases and now it is only 5000.
Afterwards, on July 24, Cajon paid for the merchandise. Since the credit terms is 2/10, 2 percent discount will be given if they paid within 10 days. So 5000 multiplied by . 02 = 100. 5000 - 100 = $4900 is the amount of cash received.
Answer: a. less than fully rational; behavioral biases
Explanation: Information processing errors consist of forecasting errors
, overconfidence and conservatism which can lead investors to misestimate the true probabilities of possible events or associated rates of return; and assuming information processing was perfect, individuals would tend to less-than-fully rational decisions due to behavioral biases as confirmed by several studies.
