Answer:

$2,000 billion

Explanation:

We calculate the value multiplier. We get the multiplier by using the equation, ms= 1 ÷ (1 – MPC).

ms= 1÷(1-0.7)

ms= 1÷(0.3)

ms=3.33

With a marginal propensity to consume of 0.7, our multiplier is gotten as 3.3. An increase in government spending of $600 billion been multiplied by the multiplier will give us $2,000 billion increase in real GDP. So the GPD for for marginal propensity consume of 0.7 is $2,000 billion.

In order to produce 100 pairs of oven gloves, Marcia incurs an average total cost of $2.50 per pair. Marcia’s marginal cost is c
anygoal [31]

Answer:

option (d) $200.00

Explanation:

Average total cost for 100 pairs = $2.50

Marginal cost for every pair = $10.00

Now,

Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost

or

Fixed cost = Total cost - variable cost

or

Fixed cost = (Average total cost × 100) - (Marginal cost × 100)

= ($2.5 × 100) - ($1 × 100)  

= $250 - $100  

= $150

thus,

Total cost to produce 50 pairs of oven gloves

= fixed cost + variable cost

= $150 + (50 × $1)

= $150 + $50

= $200

Hence,

option (d) $200.00

Directions: Something that is valuable is scarce and give utility. Something that isn't value either doesn't give utility, or it
suter [353]

Answer:

Scarcity and Utility

I will explain the concepts of scarcity, value, and utility using my laptop and some writing pens.  I have only one laptop available in my family.  I use it 24-hours daily.  I attach so much value (utility) to the laptop because it is only one.  It is very scare in my household.  On the other hand, I have a packet of writing pens.  Pens are relatively not scare in my household.  If my laptop is missing, I will raise uproar in the house.  Everybody present will answer a tedious query.  But, if one of the pens gets missing, I may not even be aware that it is missing.  At the moment, I do not attach much value (utility) to the writing pens because I have many of them presently .  Writing pens are not scare in my household, as I said earlier.

Using these examples, I have demonstrated the concepts of scarcity, utility, and value.

Explanation:

Therefore, scarcity is defined by the value and the relative availability of a good.  Scarcity is a basic economic problem that shows the gap existing between limited resources and unlimited needs.  Based on the lack experienced with satisfying a need, one has to always choose between alternatives in order to maximize resource allocation and utility.

Utility in Economics refers to the value or satisfaction derivable from the meeting of a human or economic need.  It is initially connected to the concept of scarcity.  But after attaining some level of utility, scarcity temporarily evaporates.  And this is the dividing thin line.  This is why they are mostly used together.  "Something that is valuable is scarce and give utility."  Something that is not highly valuable is not usual scarce and does not give much utility, at least, to an extent.
