Answer:

Real Surplus is $200 billion

Explanation:

Inflation = 14%

Debt = $4 trillion = $4,000 billion

Nominal deficit = $360 billion

Real Deficit = Nominal deficit - (Inflation*Debt)

= $360 - 14% * 4,000

= $360 - 560

= -$200

Hence, the answer is Real Surplus of $200 billion

Now here, we can use the learning curve formula, which is as under:

Y = a * X^ (log of learning rate / log 2)

Here

Y is the average time taken by each unit

a is the time taken by the first unit which is 25000 hrs

X is the number of units to be produced which is 16 unit (Including the first unit)

Learning Rate is given and is 82%

So by putting values we have:

Y = 25,000 hrs * 16 ^ (Log 0.82 / Log 2)

Y = 25,000 * 16^(-0.2863)

Y = 25,000 * 0.45212 = 11,303 Hrs

A leftward shift of the supply curve will lower the quantity supplied and will increase the price of the good at every level of demand.
