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

Problem 10A specialty coffeehouse sells Colombian coffee at a fairly steady rate of 280 pounds annually. The beans are purchased
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The computations are shown below:

Explanation:

a. The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{280}\times \text{\$45}}{\text{\$0.48}}}

= 229 units

The carrying cost is come from

= $2.40 × 20%

b. Time between placement of orders is

= Economic order quantity ÷Annual demand

= 229 ÷ 280

= 0.8179 years

So,

= 0.8179 × 365 days

= 298.53 days

We assume 365 days in a year

c. The average annual cost of ordering cost and carrying cost equals to

= Holding cost + ordering cost

= (Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × Holding cost)  + (Annual demand ÷ Economic order quantity × ordering cost)

= (229 units ÷ 2 × $0.48) + (280 ÷ 229 units × $45)

= $54.96 + $55.02

= $109.98

d)   Now the reorder level is

= Demand × lead time + safety stock

where, Demand equal to

= Expected demand ÷ total number of weeks in a year

= 280 pounds ÷ 52 weeks

= 5.38461

So, the reorder point would be  

=  5.38461 × 3 + $0

= 16.15 pounds

[based on the results of the simulation, can policy market interventions cause a change in consumer or producer surplus? explain
WITCHER [35]

When the intervention rises the price stage of goods, then the incentive to supply extra desires increases and consequently growing manufacturers' surplus. So policy market can motivate both client and producer surplus.

A tax causes consumer surplus and producer surplus (earnings) to fall.. some of those losses are captured inside the tax, however, there may be a loss captured with the aid of no celebration—the value of the devices that could be exchanged had been there no tax. those lost gains from trade are called deadweight losses.

For each monetary transaction, there can be both producer surplus (or profit) and client surplus. The mixture–or blended–a surplus is called the economic surplus.
