Question:

4. True, False or Uncertain. For each of the following statements determine if the statement is TRUE, FALSE, or UNCERTAIN. You must justify your answer either graphically or in words. No credit will be given without an explanation.

A. "An increase in the nominal exchange rate (e) will cause the IS* curve to shift to the right."

B. "If the value of the currency is reduced via a devaluation in a fixed exchange rate regime, then income will rise, but net exports will remain unchanged."

C. "A raising of credit card transaction fees (which causes an increase in the demand for money) will lead to a recession according to the IS-LM model."

D. "If Congress cuts government spending in order to reduce the budget deficit, the Federal Reserve can keep the economy from falling into a recession by conducting an open market sale

<u>Answer to A is True</u>

This explanation will require the following model which has the following components:

This model uses the following variables:

<em>Y</em> is real GDP

<em>G</em> is real government spending (an exogenous variable)

<em>T</em> is real taxes levied

<em>NX</em> is real net exports

<em>M</em> is the exogenous nominal money supply

<em>P</em> is the exogenous price level

<em>i</em> is the nominal interest rate

<em>L</em> is liquidity preference (real money demand)

<em>C</em> is real consumption

<em>I</em> is real physical investment, including intended inventory investment

Explanation:

Higher disposable income or a lower real interest rate (nominal interest rate minus expected inflation) leads to higher consumption spending.

Higher disposable income is created when there is an increase in salaries.

Lower interest rate happens when intentionally the Central Bank decides to resuscitate  the economy or prevent the economy from sliding into a recession. Either way, the IS curve which comprises Consumption and Investment spending shifts to the right.

The components of the IS* Curve are given below:

C=C(Y-T(Y),i-E(\pi ))\,

{\displaystyle I=I(i-E(\pi ),Y_{t-1})\,}

Where <em>E(π) equals the inflation rate expected.</em>

<u></u>

<u>Answer to B is </u><u><em>False</em></u>

The Mundell – Fleming model was used to demonstrate that an economy can not sustain a fixed exchange rate, free movement of capital and an independent monetary policy at the same time. Only two of the three can be maintained by an economy at the same time. This concept is also called the "<em>impossible trinity."</em>

<em />

<em>Devaluation</em> is a method used by monetary authorities to improve the balance of trade in the country by improving exports at moments when the trade deficit can become an economic issue.

<u>Answer to C is </u><em><u>False</u></em>

Increase in card transaction fees will does not decrease the demand for money or it decreases the demand for <u>credit</u>. It has no way of creating a recession since demand for money is not affected directly.

<u>Answer to D is </u><em><u>True</u></em>

When expenses surpass revenue and suggest a country's financial safety, a budget deficit occurs. This form of spending is usually characterised by heavy importation especially by the government. So on one hand, the government can <em>truly </em> can cut back on expenses to reduce the deficit.

On another hand, the government can conduction an open market sale to prevent the economy from falling into recession. An Open Market refers to the buying and selling of government bonds by the Federal reserve.

If a bank buys a government bond from the Federal Reserve, the bank acquires capital that it can lend out. The supply of money is expected to increase. Buying on an free market brings money into the economy.

This increase can be balanced by slamming high tax rates on importation or outrightly prohibiting them. That way, money is circulated internally and there is a push pressure on exports which gradually, along with a shift in the Investment and Consumption curves bring about a turn around in the economy.

Cheers!

ou want to buy a new sports car from Muscle Motors for $76,000. The contract is in the form of a 60-month annuity due at an APR
Len [333]

Answer:

$1510.28

Explanation:

The monthly on the purchase of new sports car can be  computed using the pmt excel function as shown below:

=pmt(rate,nper,-pv,fv)

rate is APR of 7.15% expressed in monthly terms i.e 7.15%/12

nper is the number of months that payments would last i.e 60 months

pv is the cost of the new sports car i.e $76000

fv is the balance owed after the 60th payment i.e $0

=pmt(7.15%/12,60,-76000,0)=$1510.28

On January 1, 2018, Jacob Inc. purchased a commercial truck for $48,000 and uses the straight-line depreciation method. The truc
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

option (D) loss, $3,000

Explanation:

Given:

price of the truck = $48,000

estimated residual value = $8,000

Exchange price of the truck = $60,000

Trade allowance = $35,000

Since, straight line depreciation is given, thus,

Total depreciation = \frac{\textup{48,000−8,000}}{\textup{8}}

or

Total depreciation = $5,000 per year

Therefore,

the book value after two years

= Price of truck - total depreciation in two years

or

= $48,000 − ($5,000 × 2 years)

= $38,000

Now,

a trade allowance received ( i.e $35,000 ) is less than the book value

therefore a loss is recorded

The amount of loss = (Book value - trade allowance received)

or

The amount of loss =  $38,000 - $35,000 = $3,000

Hence, correct answer is option (D) loss, $3,000

As you start consuming potato chips, your marginal utility is very high, but begins to fall slowly until you've eaten 10 chips.
avanturin [10]

Answer:

The law of diminishing marginal utility.

Explanation:

Marginal utility is basically satisfaction derived from consuming an extra unit of product. According to the law of diminishing marginal utility as consumption increases the marginal utility derived from each additional unit decreases.

So when we consume 1 chips marginal utility is high, then as more is consumed we still get some positive utility out of it but at a decreasing rate now. At some point this utility equals zero after which it starts declining as more chips are consumed because it is not providing any satisfaction now. Therefore the chips should be consumed only up to the point where the marginal utility equal zero.

Using the method of your choice, calculate the Net Present Value of the following cash flows. Assume that the required return on
mezya [45]

Answer:

E. $78

Explanation:

The computation of the net present value is shown below:

Net present value is

= Initial investment + year cash inflows ÷  (1 + discount rate)^number of years + year cash inflows ÷  (1 + discount rate)^number of years

= -$150 + $175 ÷ 1.15 + $100 ÷ 1.15^2

= $77.78

= $78

Hence, the correct option is E. $78
