Consider a hypothetical closed economy in which households spend $0.70 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remainin

g $0.30. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) for this economy is:
A) .3

B) .7

C) 1

D) 1.43

E) 3.33

and the oversimplified multiplier for this economy is:

A) .3

B) .7

C) 1

D) 1.43

E) 3.33

Suppose the government in this economy decides to decrease government purchases by $300 billion. The decrease in government purchases will lead to a decrease in income, generating an initial change in consumption equal to:

A) -$1,000 billion

B) -$90 billion

C) -$210 billion

D) -$500 billion

E) -$105 billion

This decreases income yet again, causing a second change in consumption equal to:

A) -$1,000 billion

B) -$90 billion

C) -$210 billion

D) -$500 billion

E) -$107 billion

The total change in demand resulting from the initial change in government spending is:

(a) Marginal propensity to consume (MPC) = 0.7

(b) Multiplier of this economy:

     = 3.33

(c) Decrease government purchases by $300 billion,

Initial change in consumption = Change in government purchases × MPC

                                                 = $300 × 0.7

                                                 = -$210 billion

(d) This decreases income yet again, causing a second change in consumption equal to:

= Initial change in consumption × MPC

= -$210 × 0.7

= -$147 billion

(e) The total change in demand resulting from the initial change in government spending is:

= Change in government purchases × Multiplier

= $300 × 3.33

= -$1 trillion

.Andrea sold a piece of machinery she used in her business for 9 months. The amount realized was $50,000 and the adjusted basis
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Realized loss = $5000

Explanation:

The adjusted basis is the net cost of an asset after it has had depreciation deductions and/or capital expenditure increments. In other words, its actual worth at that particular point in time.

The amount realized is the fair market value and the sum of any money received at the sale of an asset.

A realized gain or loss is the difference between the amount realized from the sale of the asset and the asset's adjusted basis on the time of its sale. A positive figure proves to be a gain and a negative figure proves to be a loss. In other words, when an asset is sold for a price higher than what it is actually worth at the time of sale, it is a realized gain whilst if it is sold for a price lower than what its net cost is, it is a realized loss.

In this case,

$50,000 - $55,000 = $(5000)

There is a realized loss for Andrea of $5000 on the sale of this machinery.

What are the three basic questions faced by every economy
Likurg_2 [28]

The three basic questions asked are:

1. What goods and services should be produced?

This is asked because the economy wants to produce what the consumers want or else the resources aren't being used efficiently since resources are scarce.

2. How should we produce them?

This is asked because the producers don't want to spend unnecessary time or money on production, so they must choose wisely what method of production is best for their company and consumers.

3. Who are the consumers?

This is asked because the producers want to make sure that they are targeting the right people with advertising or selling.

Hope this helped!
