Answer:
For the Economist A the spending multiplier is = 8, the tax multiplier = 4, the increase in spending is = $4 billion, the tax cut is = $8 billion.
For the Economist B, the spending multiplier is =4, the tax multiplier = 2, the increase in spending is = $8 billion, the tax cut is = $16 billion.
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
(1)The Economist A
The Spending multiplier = 8
In closing the output gap of $32 billion, required increase in spending = $32 billion / 8 = $4 billion
Thus,
The tax multiplier = 4
To close output gap of $32 billion, required decrease in tax = $32 billion / 4 = $8 billion
(2)The Economist B
Now,
The spending multiplier = 4
To close output gap of $32 billion, required increase in spending = $32 billion / 4 = $8 billion
So,
Tax multiplier = 2
To close output gap of $32 billion, required decrease in tax = $32 billion / 2 = $16 billion
Answer:
Option A is correct.
deficit; negative
Explanation:
In a small open economy, starting from a position of balanced trade, if the government increases domestic government purchases, this produces a tendency toward a trade <u>deficit </u>and <u>negaive</u> net capital outflow.
This corresponds to the concept of twin deficits where a budget deficit that results from increased government purchases, also results in current account deficit. Since trade deficit implies negative NX there is a negative NCO.
Answer:
Option C Cash Flow Prospects.
Explanation:
The cash flow prospect shows that lending the firm money will increase its performance or not and also that the company is generating enough cash flows that it will be paying returns and principle amount on time. If the cash flwo prospect shows that the company will not be delivering value because it is already struggling with its cash flows issues. Then the money lender will not be interested in paying the company because the company might not pay back the returns and the principle amount.
