Answer: $12
Explanation:
The reasonable production cost for a backpack in this segment will be calculated as 50% multiplied by the average retail price which will be:
= 50% × $24
= 50/100 × $24
= 0.5 × $24
= $12
Answer:
If MPC is 0.8, Change in GDP = $500 million
If MPC is 0.95, Change in GDP = $2,000 million
Explanation:
<em>Expenditure Multiplier is the amount by which the real GDP will change if autonomous expenditure changes by a given amount.</em>
It is calculated as follows: 1/(1-MPC).
MPC is the portion of additional income that is spent. If the MPC is 0.8, then the expenditure multiplier will be = 1/(1-0.8) = 5
Using the first scenario with an increase in government spending by $100million, the resulting change in GDP would be
Change in GDP = change in autonomous expenditure × Multiplier
= 100 × 5 = $500 million
<em>Scenario 2, MPC of 0.95</em>
Expenditure Multiplier = 1/(1-0.95) = 20
Change in GDP= 100 × 20 = $2000 million
