Answer:
$20,000
Explanation:
GDP is the market value of <u>all final goods and
</u>
<u>services</u> produced within a country in a given period of time.
The GDP includes only the value of final goods, <em>the value of manufactured automobile in this question</em>, not the value of intermediate goods used in it, <em>the windshield, tires, and others.</em>
Reason: The price of intermediate goods (windshield, tires, CD player) is already included in the final price of $20,000.
Hence, GDP discourage to include these intermediate goods value as it will lead to double counting given that they're already included in final price of $20,000.
Answer:
Price skimming.
Explanation:
Price skimming is a pricing strategy in which an organization gradually lowers it's selling price after initially charging it's customers a high price in order to attract more price-sensitive customers. It is mostly used by a first-mover who faces lesser competition in business.
In this scenario, Cosmeticon had no competitors in that segment of the Indian cosmetics market, so it set a very high price for its products in order to reach the premium, price-insensitive segment of the market.

Answer:
b. would leave the market first if the price were any lower.
Explanation:
In the market, the producer always sells more than the economic cost ( raw materials and labor cost) that he bears during production. The marginal seller means that the seller earns zero economic profit ( producer surplus) i.e. an economic cost equals the selling price. So if the price falls then the marginal seller would leave the market first because he will be indifferent when earns the zero economic profit but when the price falls he would leave the market.
Answer: reduced by $80 billion
Explanation:
An expansionary gap is when the actual output is more than the potential output. From the question, we are told that an economy is operating with output $400 billion above its natural level, and fiscal policymakers want to close this expansionary gap and that the central bank agrees to adjust the money supply to hold the interest rate constant, so there is no crowding out.
We are also given the marginal propensity to consume is 4/5, and told that the price level is completely fixed in the short run.
To close the expansionary gap, the government would need to reduce its spending. To solve this, we have to calculate the multiplier. This will be:
Multiplier = 1/(1 - MPC)
= 1/(1 - 4/5)
= 1/1-0.8
= 1/0.2
= 5
Therefore, the government expenditure or spending will be reduced by:
= $400 billion/5
=$80 billion
