Question:
For an economy starting at potential output, a decrease in autonomous expenditure in the short-run results in a(n):
A. increase in potential output
B. recessionary output gap
C. decrease in potential output
D. expansionary output gap
Answer:
The correct answer is B
Explanation:
A decrease in autonomous expenditure shifts the Planned Aggregate Expenditure curve downward thus creating a lower equilibrium output.
PAE = C + Ip + G + NX
where
PAE = Planned Aggregate Expenditure
C = consumption
Ip = Investment Spending
G = Government Spending
NX = Net Export
If an economy has its output equal to its potential, this will create a reduction in short-run equilibrium output leading to a recessionary output gap.

Answer:
Borrowed amount of $2,500
Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
The Total available balance is
= Beginning balance + Receipts - Disbursements
= $12,000 + $30,000 - $34,500
= $7,500
As the cash should be maintained of $10,000
So,
The amount to be borrowed is
= $10,000 - $7500
= $2,500
Answer:
B. the natural unemployment rate.
Explanation:
When the level of output is equal to natural real GDP, it indicates that the country has reach a very optimal level of production has efficiently utilize all resources that it has in its disposal. These 'Resources' include both human , capital, and natural resources.
Natural employment rate is the amount of employment rate that occurs after a country has fully utilize its resources. Like mentioned above, This situation will arise when the level of of output equal to natural Real GDP
Since there is little to no human resources left unused which make natural unemployment rate basically equal to the total employment rate that exist in that country.
Answer:
There is something wrong with this question because October to February is not four months, it's five months.
We can calculate this assuming 3 months of 2016 (October, November, December) and 2 months of 2016 (November and December).
- 3 months of 2016 = ($22,400 / 4 months) x 3 months = $16,800
- 2 months of 2016 = ($22,400 / 4 months) x 2 months = $11,200
No option is correct.
