Answer:
1. The GDP deflator for this year is calculated by dividing the <u>value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year</u> using <u>this year's prices </u>by the <u>value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year </u>using <u>the base year's prices</u> and multiplying by 100.
This is why the formula for the GDP deflator is = GDP by year n prices/ GDP by base year prices.
2. However, the CPI reflects only the prices of all goods and services<u> bought by consumers. </u>

3. Which does an increase in the price of a Chinese-made car that is popular among U.S. consumers show up in? - <em><u>B) CPI</u></em>

4. Which does a decrease in the price of a Treewood Equipment feller buncher, which is a commercial forestry machine that cuts and stacks trees show up in? - <em><u>A) GDP Deflator</u></em>
This is not part of the goods in the basket and it is assumed to be made domestically so it is part of the GDP Deflator.

Stick to the regular risk and not the new one
Answer:
b. 6 pairs of jeans per crate of olives; and
c. 4 pairs of jeans per crate of olives
Explanation:
Olives Jeans Trade off Ratio (Olives:Jeans)
Spain 1 3 1:3 or 0.33:1 (1/3 = 0.33)
Denmark 1 11 1:11 or 0.09:1 (1/11= 0.09)
Spain & Denmark have less opportunity cost & hence comparative advantage than each other, in Olive & Jeans respectively.
Spain will export Olives to Denmark (importer). Denmark will export Jeans to Spain (Importer). Trade will be gainful if they get exchange ratio better than domestic exchange ratio.
- '2 jeans pairs per olive crate' not gainful trade ratio for Spain, as it is getting more i.e 3 jeans pair per olive crate at its own domestic ratio.
- '13 jeans per olive' not gainful for Denmark, as 0.07 = (1/13) olive per jeans is worse than its own domestic ratio i.e 0.09 = (1/11) olive per jeans
'4 jeans pairs per olive crate' is gaining trade ratio for:
- Spain: As it gets 4 i.e more than 3 pairs of jeans per olive crate
- Denmark : As it gets 0.25 = (1/4) i.e more than 0.09 olive crates per pair of jeans
'6 jeans pairs per olive crate' is gaining trade ratio for:
- Spain: As it gets 6 i.e more than 3 pairs of jeans per olive crate
- Denmark : As it gets 0.16 = (1/6) i.e more than 0.09 olive crates per pair of jeans
Both of them are gainful trade ratios, but:
- 1olive:4 jeans is more gainful for Denmark, as it is gaining relatively more than domestic exchange rate (0.25 is more > 0.09 than 4 > 3).
- 1olive:6jeans is more gainful for Spain as it is gaining relatively more than domestic exchange rate (6 is more > 3 than 0.16 > 0.09)
