Answer:

a. The GDP gap is: 6%

b. The forgone output is: $30 billion

Explanation:

GDP (gross domestic product) is the output produced within a country in a given time period. Okun's law establishes an inverse empirical relationship between unemployment and losses in productivity of a country. In terms of output, Okun's law states that for every percentage increase in cyclical unemployment, a country's potential output is lowered by 2%. Cyclical unemployment is the difference between the natural unemployment rate and the actual unemployment rate.

In this scenario, the natural rate of unemployment is 4% and the actual rate is 7%. Therefore, unemployment due to business cycle fluctuations is: 3% . Since the output gap is double the percentage increase in unemployment, the output or GDP gap is 6%. The dollar amount of the GDP gap given the $500 billion potential GDP is (0.06 * 500) = $30 billion

I need help please! <br> what do you think is positive about franchises in general? negative?
mote1985 [20]

It may seem that franchise has many benefits since it allows for a person to open and operate a business without much knowledge of how to run a business and generally franchises are well advertised so not much marketing costs are needed, however negative impacts are much more, since you need to pay lifetime percentages for sales and operating under franchise as well as there is no room for creativity and too much dependence on a big business. Also the funds needed to open a franchise are much higher than same business but operating independently. So negative side is prevailing.
