\$500 is the total implied increase in economic spending activity from a government stimulus of \$100 billion

<u>Explanation: </u>

The median product preference tests the increase in expenditure due to changes in availability.

In increasing government expenditure, total economic investment would be increased by the scale of the budget multiplier. In other terms, the expenditure equation indicates how much GDP can increase as government expenditure increases.

The spending multiplier can be expressed as \frac{1}{1-M P C} \text { or } \frac{1}{M P S}

\text { Increase in GDP }=\frac{1}{1-M P C} \times \Delta G=\frac{1}{1-0.8} \times 100=\$ 500

So, the total implied increase in economic spending is \$ 500

In economics, marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is the proportion of an aggregate raise in pay that consumer spends on the consumption of services and goods, as opposed to saving it.

Is known :

<em>ΔTC = $ 800 million (yield of $ 100.8 billion - $ 100 billion)</em>

ΔQ =?

Information:

<em>MC = Marginal Fee</em>

<em>ΔTC = Change in Total Costs</em>

ΔQ = Change in Amount of Output

<em>ΔQ = ΔTC * MC</em>

<em>ΔQ = $ 800 million * 0.80</em>

ΔQ = 640 million units

<h2>Further explanation</h2>

Marginal Costs are additional costs incurred when producing one additional product unit. This Marginal Cost shows the level at which the total cost of product changes when production increases by one unit. The purpose of analyzing these marginal costs is to determine at what point a company can achieve economies of scale.

Marginal costs are very important in the business decision-making process where management must make decisions about the allocation of resources in the production process. For example, when management needs to decide whether or not to increase production, they must compare marginal costs with marginal revenue that will be realized by additional units of output. This comparison is needed to determine whether the company will add the number of production units.

It should be noted that for most production scenarios, production costs are not at the beginning of production and then decrease with increasing amounts of certain products.

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

a.borrowers gain at the expense of lenders.

Explanation:

Suppose the annual rate of inflation has been 3 percent during each of the last three years and that borrowers and lenders have come to expect this rate of inflation. If the inflation rate unexpectedly rises, then borrowers gain at the expense of lenders.

As inflation increases, two things happen

1. The amount of interest paid to lenders technically becomes of smaller value and lenders are loosing while borrowers are paying lesser

2. As inflation sets in, wages are increased to compensate for inflation and since the borrower already owed money before the inflation occurred, now he or she has more money in his or her paycheck to pay off the debt.

Which of the following would tend to shift the supply of dollars in the market for foreign-currency exchange in the open-economy
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

The right answers are either b. or d., or both.

Explanation:

When the dollar loses value, there is higher demand for foreign imports in a country because they become cheaper. When the dollar gains  in value, a foreign country´s exports increase. Changes in the value of currencies reflect changes in demand and supply. An increase in exports will shift the demand curve of the dollar higher. A reduction of imports will have a contrary effect.

Suppose that the market demand curve for bean sprouts is given by P = 1,660 - 4Q, where P is the price and Q is total industry o
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

In equilibrium, total output by the two firms will be option e= 300.  

Q = q_{1} + q_{2}

Q = 100 + 200

Q = 300

Explanation:

Data Given:

Market Demand Curve = P = 1660-4Q

where, P = price and Q = total industry output

Each firm's marginal cost = $60 per unit of output

So, we know that Q =  q_{1} + q_{2}

where q_{} being the individual firm output.

Solution:

P = 1660-4Q

P = 1660- 4(q_{1} + q_{2})

P = 1660 - 4q_{1} - 4q_{2}

Including the marginal cost of firm 1 and multiplying the whole equation by q_{1}

Let's suppose new equation is X

X =  1660q_{1} - 4q_{1} ^{2} - 4q_{1}q_{2} - 60q_{1}

Taking the derivative w.r.t to q_{1}, we will get:

X^{'} = 1660 - 8q_{1} - 4q_{2} - 60 = 0

Making rearrangements into the equation:

8q_{1} + q_{2} = 1660 - 60

8q_{1} + q_{2} = 1600

Dividing the whole equation by 4

2q_{1} +q_{2} = 400

Solving for q_{1}

2q_{1} = 400 - q_{2}

q_{1} = 200 - 0.5 q_{2}  

Including the marginal cost of firm 1 and multiplying the whole equation by q_{2}

P = 1660 - 4q_{1} - 4q_{2}

Let's suppose new equation is Y

Y =  1660q_{2} - 4q_{1}q_{2} -4q_{2} ^{2} - 60q_{2}

Pugging in the value of q_{1}

Y =  1660q_{2} - 4q_{2}(200 - 0.5 q_{2}) -4q_{2} ^{2} - 60q_{2}

Y =  1660q_{2} - 800q_{2} +2q_{2} ^{2} -4q_{2} ^{2} - 60q_{2}

Y =  1600q_{2} - 800q_{2} -2q_{2} ^{2}

Taking the derivative w.r.t q_{2}

Y^{'} = 1600 - 800 - 4q_{2} = 0

Solving for q_{2}

4q_{2} = 800

q_{2} = 200

q_{1} = 200 - 0.5 q_{2}

Plugging in the value of q_{2} to get the value of q_{1}

q_{1} = 200 - 0.5 (200)

q_{1} = 200 - 100

q_{1} = 100

Q = q_{1} + q_{2}

Q = 100 + 200

Q = 300

Hence, in equilibrium, total output by the two firms will be option

e= 300.
