Answer:
The correct answer is option (C).
Explanation:
According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:
Base year basket price = $5,000 billion
Year 2 basket price = $5,500 billion
So, we can calculate the consumer price index by using following formula:
Consumer price index = (Year 2 basket price ÷ Base year basket price ) × 100
By putting the value, we get
Consumer price index = ( $5,500 ÷ $5,000 ) × 100
= 1.1 × 100
= $110 billion
Answer:
3) AD shifts right and output would decrease.
Explanation:
Aggregate demand (AD) is the total number of goods demanded in an economy in a period of time.
If Congress decides to cut the National debt (or accumulated debt of the government) by half, this will make interest rates lower and will encourage investment from the private sector.
The shifting to the right occurs when these components; consumption spending and investment spending increases due to cut in National debt.
The AD curve will shift back to the left as these components decreases.
