Answer:

b. left by $500 billion.

Explanation:

Given marginal propensity to consume, MPC = 0.8

Marginal propensity to consume + Marginal  propensity to save = 1

MPC + MPS = 1

0.8 + MPS = 1

MPS = 1-0.8

MPS = 0.2

Now, the government multiplier = 1/MPS

The government multiplier = 1 / 0.2 = 5

Total fall in aggregate demand = Government multiplier × Government purchases

= 5 ×100

= $500

Since there is a fall in spending so the aggregate demand curve will shift leftwards.

Therefore, the correct option is b. left by $500 billion.

You buy a lottery ticket to a lottery that costs $10 per ticket. There are only 100 tickets available to be sold in this lottery
Eduardwww [97]

Answer: The expected loss is $2.3

Explanation:

Total number of tickets to be sold = 100 tickets

one $450 prize, the expected gain = 450 x (1/100)  = $4.5

two $110 prizes, the expected gain = 110 x (2/100) = $2.2

four $25 prizes. the expected gain = 25 x (4/100) = $1

Expected gain (loss) = Total expected gain - Cost of the ticket

                                  = (4.5 + 2.2 + 1 ) - 10

                                  = (2.3)

The expected loss is $2.3

The opportunity cost of a choice is the _____ of the opportunities lost.a. Valueb. Interest
salantis [7]

Answer:

a. Value.

Explanation:

The opportunity cost of a choice is the value of the opportunities lost.

In Economics, Opportunity cost also known as the alternative forgone, can be defined as the value, profit or benefits given up by an individual or organization in order to choose or acquire something deemed significant at the time.

Simply stated, it is the cost of not enjoying the benefits, profits or value associated with the alternative forgone or best alternative choice available.

Hence, the opportunity cost of a choice  is the benefits that could be derived in from another choice using the same amount of resources.

<em>For instance, if you decide to invest resources such as money in a food business (restaurant), your opportunity cost would be the profits you could have earned if you had invest the same amount of resources in a salon business or any other business as the case may be.</em>
