A country is in the midst of a recession with real GDP estimated to be $4.5 billion below potential GDP. The government's policy

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

a. The government needs to increase spending by $0.45 billion and decrease taxes by $0.5 billion.

b. The real GDP will fall short of potential GDP by $3.6 billion.

c. The real GDP will fall short of potential GDP by $4 billion.

d. If government overestimates MPC change in spending or taxes will be too small.

Explanation:

The GDP gap is $4.5 billion.

a. The marginal propensity to consume is 0.90.

Government spending multiplier

= $\frac{1}{1-MPC}$

= $\frac{1}{1-0.9}$

= 10

The government needs to increase spending by

= $\frac{GDP\ Gap}{Government\ spending\ multiplier}$

= $\frac{4.5}{10}$

= $0.45 billion

Tax multiplier

= $\frac{-MPC}{1-MPC}$

= $\frac{-0.9}{1-0.9}$

= -9

The government needs to decrease taxes

= $\frac{GDP\ Gap}{Tax\ multiplier}$

= $\frac{4.5}{9}$

= $0.5 billion

b. The marginal propensity to consume is 0.50.

Government spending multiplier

= $\frac{1}{1-MPC}$

= $\frac{1}{1-0.5}$

= 2

If the government increases spending by $0.45 billion,

The real GDP will increase by

= $Increase\ in\ spending\ \times\ Spending\ multiplier$

= $\$ 0.45\ \times\ 2$

= $0.9 billion

The real GDP will fall short of potential GDP by

= $4.5 billion - $0.9 billion

= $3.6 billion

c. Tax multiplier

= $\frac{-MPC}{1-MPC}$

= $\frac{-0.5}{1-0.5}$

= -1

If the government decreases taxes by $0.5 billion

The real GDP will increase by

= $$0.5\ billion\ \times 1$

= $0.5 billion

The real GDP will fall short of potential GDP by

= $4.5 billion - $0.5 billion

= $4 billion

d. If the government overestimates the value of the MPC, then its change in spending or taxes will be too small and real GDP will fall short of potential GDP.

HELP!! : Could a sales representative easily translate his or her skills into being a buyer? What would be

Lunna [17]

Answer:

Yes, a sales representative can translate his skills into being a buyer

Explanation:

A sales representative is one who completes a sale of a product in a direct or face to face interaction with the buyer.

Skills of a good sales representative includes:

1. Product knowledge

2. Strategic prospecting skills

3. Active listening

4. Communication

5. Good time management

A sales representative can convert all these skills listed above into becoming a better judge of a product as a buyer and in relation with other sales representatives.

One of the challenging thing about the shift would be the ability to trust another sales representative's words about a product or service.

The skill that would translate seamlessly would be product knowledge because if a sales rep already have a good knowledge of a product before it would greatly enhance his choices when choosing one for himself.

Sage Company had cash receipts from customers in 2020 of $137,920. Cash payments for operating expenses were $84,990. Sage has d

Triss [41]

Answer:

sales revenue for the period: $ 143,900

operating expenses: $ 78,000

Explanation:

We solve for sales using the account recievable identity:

beginning account receivable + sales - collection = ending account receivable

12,330 + sales - 137,920 = 18,310

sales = 137,920 + 18,310 - 12,330 = 143,900

Then, for operating expenses, we have a prepaid expenses thus unexpired and therefore, not expenses under accrued accounting.

we solve like this:

beginning prepaid expenses 19,800

payment on expenses 84,990

total expenses payment 104,790

We now subtract the prepaid (unexpired) to get the amount accrued for the period:

104,790 - 26,790 = 78,000
