An economy is operating with output $300 billion below its natural rate, and fiscal policymakers want to close this recessionary

gap. The central bank agrees to adjust the money supply to hold the interest rate constant, so there is no crowding out. The marginal propensity to consume is 0.75, and the price level is completely fixed in the short-run. (a) In what direction and by how much would government spending need to change to close the recessionary gap

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation is shown below;

As we know that

Y/G = 1 ÷ (1-MPC)

Here

Y = $300 billion,

MPC = 0.75

So,  

300 ÷ G = 1 ÷ 0.25

G = $75

So the government should rise the spending by $75 in order to close out the recessionary gap

So, the government should increase the spending by $30 to close the recessionary gap.

katovenus [111]

In this scenario, Roger's behaviour would best be classified as an elaborator.

While working in a group each individual contributes in their own ways.

Benne and Sheats defined roles in a group and classified them in three categories. These categories are

1. Task roles : relate to actually achieving the task goals.

2. Personal Roles : relate to the interpersonal relationships between team members. A highly qualified team, when all team members with a high ego will not be able to achieve the desired goal within the deadline.

3.Dysfunctional Roles: do not contribute in any way to a group. They are only interested in serving their own interests and more often than not, are responsible for disruptions and discord within the group.

The right combination of various roles in a group goes a long way in achieving a goal.

The Elaborator is a task role. The Elaborator takes up an idea and gives his views on how that idea might turn out if it is implemented in the given suggestion.

Imagine that the U.S. economy has an initial unemployment rate equal to the natural rate of unemployment. Identify each event as
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Explanation:

Let’s explore one by one as proposed:

An oil cartel raises oil prices: all prices in the oil-related products will increase making it more expensive for companies to be able to afford employees. As the US economy is heavily based on oil import and consumption, the unemployment rate (let´s call it UR from now on) would increase. Countries that export more than import could benefit from this scenario.

The U.S. dollar gains value against foreign currencies: It would be more expensive to produce goods in the US as its currency becomes stronger. Hence companies could choose to produce overseas, increasing the UR. One of the factors that attract investments is a cheap currency, meaning that a company could operate there at lower costs than anywhere else.

American consumers expect higher income in the future: As fights about average salary would arise between employees and companies, igniting even sindicalization, its proper to think that the same as above could occur; companies could choose to produce overseas in countries less demanding of labor rights and income, such as China provinces (I would recommend for you to watch American Factory, a awarded Netflix documentary about that subject).

Brazil experiences economic growth and increases its demand for U.S. exports: as I said in the first alternative, a country that has increased or more expensive exports could benefit from that creating more jobs, in this case decreasing the UR. If Brazil demands more US products, more has to be produced by the country, which would mean more people employed in this attractive sector.

U.S. real estate values rise: to be honest, it only affects indirectly. As housing becomes more expensive, people have to work more to be able to afford housing. That would mean they seeking better-paying jobs or in the absence of those being homeless of at least unable to buy a home. We could argue that the UR would decrease because it becomes more expensive to afford housing and hence people would migrate more but that’s a long shot rationale.

Softa [21]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

In this case option A is the correct option, i.e. Carolina will accept the new cosmetic line but Sanders will reject the new cosmetic line. This is because Carolina being the president of Deed Corporation would like to take the cosmetic line differently and with the expected rate of return of 12%, i.e. higher than the minimum required rate of return of 8%.

However, Sanders has achieved a 14% rate of return from his cosmetic division thus, being the manger he would not like his performance to go down with 12% return from the new cosmetic line. Thus, option A is the correct option.

A competitive firm produces output using three fixed factors and one variable factor. The firm's short run production function i
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

D) 75

Explanation:

Our initial production function is:

q = 305X - 2X²        

we calculate the derivative of q:

(q') = 305 - 4X

MP = 305 - 4X

$10 / $2 = 305 - 4X

5 = 305 - 4X

4X = 305 - 5 = 300

x = 300 / 4

x = 75
