You are the manager of a firm that produces and markets a generic type of soft drink in a competitive market. In addition to the

large number of generic products in your market, you also compete against major brands such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi. Suppose that, due to the successful lobbying efforts of sugar producers in the United States, Congress is going to levy a $0.50 per pound tariff on all imported raw sugar – the primary input for your product. In addition, Coke and Pepsi plan to launch an aggressive advertising campaign designed to persuade consumers that their branded products are superior to generic soft drinks. How will these events impact the equilibrium price and quantity of generic soft drinks?

Answer:

Price will rise because of input

while demand decrease because of competition increasing their market share.

Durable Goods $1,250 Nondurable Goods $2,130 Services $9,000 Fixed Investment $1,800 Changes to Business Inventory $135 Investme
Anettt [7]

Answer:

Given that,

Durable Goods = $1,250

Non-durable Goods = $2,130

Services = $9,000

Fixed Investment = $1,800

Changes to Business Inventory = $135

Investment in Stocks & Bonds = $15,500

Federal Government Purchases = $1,800

State/Local Government Purchases = $1,700

Transfer Payments = $675

Exports from the United States = $2,100

Imports into the United States = $2,400

(a) Consumption, C = durable goods + non-durable goods + services

                                = $1,250 + $2,130 + $9,000

                                = $12,380

(b) Private investment, I = Fixed investment + change in inventory + Investment in stocks/bonds

                                       = $1,800 + $135 + $15,500

                                       = $17,435

(c) Government spending, G = Federal government purchase + state/local government purchase

                                               = $1,800 + $1,700

                                               = $3,500

(d) Net exports = Exports - Imports

                         = $2,100 - $2,400

                         = -($300)

GDP = C + I + G + NX

        = $12,380 + $17,435 + $3,500 + (-$300)

        = $33,015

Suppose a basket of goods and services has been selected to calculate the CPI and 2012 has been selected as the base year. In 20
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer: 2016 CPI is 110

Explanation:

Given the following :

Base year = 2012

Cost of basket in 2012 = $50

Cost of basket in 2014 = $52

Coat of basket in 2016 = $55

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is calculated using the formula :

CPI = (weighted cost item in current period / weighted cost of item in base period) × 100

Base period / year = 2012

Current period = 2016

Therefore, 2016 CPI equals;

($55 / $50) × 100

= 110
