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.

A struggling company currently has a total value of $700,000. It owes $500,000 from debt financing (assume these are loans from
Lynna [10]

Answer:

What is the current value of the firm to the owners?

total value - debt = $700,000 - $500,000 = $200,000

Show that this in expectation decreases the firm’s value, and explain why, in spite of that, the owners of the company would want to undertake the project.

the expected value of the company after the new project = (50% x 0) + (50% x $1,200,000) = $600,000, so the net value of the company actually decreases by $100,000.

the issue here is that if things go wrong, the owners will lose $200,000, but if things go well, then the owners equity will increase by $500,000 to a total of $700,000. In this case, the expected value of this project for the owners = (50% x -$200,000) + (50% x $700,000) = $250,000.

I am assuming that this company is some type of corporation, LLC or LLP, not a partnership or sole proprietorship. Under current bankruptcy laws, when a cooperation goes bankrupt, the owners are not personally liable for it.

C) Takt times at workstations are dynamic.

Explanation:

A fixed-position layout can be regarded as a layout that allow products to stay in one place, and movement of workers and machinery can be moved to it once needed. Some of the Products that are not possible to move are airplanes, construction projects as well as ships. Fixed-position layout is usually used when dealing with product which are too large or heavy to move. Disadvantages is that it takes space, and administration burden is usually high. Factors that could complicate the techniques for addressing the fixed-position layout are;

✓There is limited space at virtually all sites.

✓At different stages of a project, different materials are needed; therefore, different items become critical as the project develops.

Is it possible to decrease inflation without causing a recession and its concomitant increase in unemployment? The orthodox answ
NeTakaya

Answer:

The answer is: E) It would not necessarily be considered high elsewhere

Explanation:

Usually the inflation rate in the US and Europe is around 1-3%. In the early 1980's the US inflation rate was above 10% so it was considered huge. But if you consider it against inflation rates in other countries, like Argentina for example, which currently has an annual inflation rate of over 60% then it wasn't that big. During the 1980's many countries suffered from hyperinflation, with monthly inflation rates of over 50%.

So the high inflation rate in the US and Europe wasn't necessarily high for other countries.
