Answer:
GDP is higher than normal
Explanation:
This is a situation where GDP is higher than the usual and it shows that the economy is above the employment level and overly active. The extra gross domestic product leads to an increase in demand for goods and services and that leads to high inflation. The initial sighs include, increase in employment rate, more wages, high demand.
Answer:
a). M1=$808 billion
b). M2=1,068 billion
Explanation:
M1 is the money supply that is the most liquid and is or can be easily converted into cash. The formula for calculating M1 is;
M1=C+D+T+S
where;
M1=money supply
C=currency held outside banks
D=checkable deposits
T=traveler's checks
S=small-denomination time deposits
In our case;
M1=unknown
C=$354 billion
D=$250 billion
T=$4 billion
S=$200 billion
replacing;
M1=(354+250+4+200)=$808 billion
M1=$808 billion
M2 includes elements of M1 and additional money supply that are near liquid. The formula is;
M2=M1+savings deposit+mutual funds
where;
M1=$808 billion
savings=$100 billion
retail money market mutual funds=$160
replacing;
M2=(808+100+160)=1,068 billion
M2=1,068 billion
Answer:
(A) -5/6
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity demanded ÷ % change in price
% change in quantity demanded = (60-40)/40 × 100 = 20/40 × 100 = 50%
% change in price = ($6-$15)/$15 × 100 = -$9/$15 × 100 = -60%
Price elasticity of demand = 50% ÷ -60% = -5/6
Answer:
D) The supply of the output from the hydroelectric power plants to increase
Explanation:
The externality here is a negative one where the hydroelectric plants has to bear the cost of pollution as the paper mills operates.
Correcting means to make the paper mills pay for the external costs of their production and compensate the power plant for the additional cost that incurred as they have to clean up the water.
As the cost of production reduces, the power plant will be more willing to supply electricity at similar prices, ie. their supply curve will shift to the right. It will intersect with the demand curve of the consumers at a point with higher quantity (and maybe lower price)
In other words, they will supply more electricity.
