Answer: Option (A) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Money supply increases (M) = 12 percent
Velocity decreases (V) = 4 percent
Price level increases (P) = 5 percent
Real GDP (Y) = ?
According to the quantity theory of money,
Percent Change in M + Percent Change in V = Percent Change in P + Percent Change in Y
12% - 4% = 5% + Percent Change in Y
Percent Change in Y = 8% - 5%
= 3%
Therefore, change in real GDP must be 3%.
Answer:
$331,500
Explanation:
The computation of the ending balance of the pension benefit obligation is shown below:
= Opening balance of PBO + service cost + interest cost - pension benefits
= $265,000 + $80,000 + $26,500 - $40,000
= $331,500
The computation of the interest cost is shown below:
= Opening balance of PBO × discount rate
= $265,000 × 10%
= $26,500
The increased value of the plan assets would be ignored.
Answer:
When Economists say that humans make decisions at the margin they mean that decisions are made on the basis of the cost and benefit of getting an additional unit of a good/ service.
Marginal benefit refers to the additional utility that we will derive from consuming one extra unit of a good or service and factors in heavily into our decision making. We usually accept a decision if the Marginal benefit is higher or equal to the Marginal cost ( cost of the additional unit) of the good/service.
If the Marginal Cost is instead higher, the decision would most probably be cancelled.
Answer:
These two statements are correct:
A. Businesses and jobs rely most strongly on consumer demand.
B.Government regulation is necessary to stabilize the economy.
Explanation:
The first statement is correct because John Maynard Keynes that demand was the most important side of the economy, not supply. This is why his policies are sometimes referred to as "demand-side economics", while the policies of many of his detractors, such as Milton Friedman, are referred to as "supply-side economics".
The second statement is also correct because Keynes believed that a market economy was naturally subject to business cycles: cycles of boom and bust that could either benefit millions, or harm millions. Keynes thought that the government should regulate the economy in order to lessen the effect of those cycles.
