Answer:
Explanation:
a. A temporary increase in government purchases would result in a reduction in savings, which would, in turn, lead to the implementation of higher taxes by the government so as to match prices and wages.
This would: make output to remain unchanged, real interest to increase and current price level to increase as well.
b. A reduction in expected inflation would lead to an increment in the demand for real money, as people do not expect inflation to increase for a while. Thus, more demand creates a reduction in the price level. Everything else remains unchanged. This would: make output remain unchanged, real interest remain unchanged and the current price level to decrease.
C. A temporary increase in labor supply would make more people have jobs and therefore more people can save. If more people save the interest rates are liable to decrease therefore money demand will increase. This would: make output to increase, real interest to decline and current price level to decrease.
d. An increase in the interest rate paid on money will lead to a higher demand for money. With an unchanged nominal money supply and higher money demand, the price would decline but everything remains unchanged. This would make: output remain unchanged, real interest remains unchanged and the current price level decrease.
Answer: The higher the principal, the higher the total cost of the loan
Explanation:
From the chart shown we can see that the loan with a higher principal has a higher total cost than the loan with the smaller principal.
This happens because the interest rate attached affects larger figures more than smaller ones. 6.47% of $6,000 is $389 which is larger than 6.47% of $5,000 which is $324 (calculating the cost of a loan is more cumbersome than this but this shows the effect as well).
When compounded overtime, this difference will be even more and thus shows that larger principals cause larger total costs.
At breakeven point, the cost is equal to the revenue. This also means that the net profit is equal to zero. If we let x be the number of units sold or produced, the total costs and revenue are calculated as follows:
Total Cost = 10x + 10,000
Total Revenue = 20x
Equation both,
10x + 10,000 = 20x
The value of x from the equation is 1000.
Answer: 1000
