Why is productivity growth considered to be the most important factor in the ad/asad/as model?

In the short run, a supply shock will _________ the equilibrium level of prices and ___________ the equilibrium level output. re

Taya2010 [7]

Answer: raise; reduce

Explanation:

A Supply shock is described as a situation where the supply of a good changes suddenly/ abruptly due to an unforeseen event.

Supply shocks can be positive but are usually negative so we will assume the supply shock is negative here.

If there is a negative supply shock, the amount of goods being produced will reduce abruptly which will force the supply curve to shift left.

It will then intercept the the demand curve at an equilibrium level that has a higher price and a lower quantity of output.

Think of it this way. Negative supply shock ⇒ less goods ⇒ scarcity ⇒ higher prices.

A company is preparing its cash budget. Its cash balance on January 1 is $290,000, and it has a minimum cash requirement of $340

boyakko [2]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

excess of $15,800 (d.)

Explanation:

In order to calculate the cash excess or deficiency for March, we have to determine the net balance for the period from January, February and March, after deducting the total expenditures from the incomes as follows:

Cash Receipts (income)

January 1 balance = $ 290,000

January = $ 1,061,200

February = $ 1,182,400

March = $ 1,091,700

Total cash receipt = $3,625,300

Cash payments (expenditure)

January = $ 984,500

February = $ 1,210,000

March = $ 1,075,000

Total payments = $ 3,269,500

Net cash available = total cash receipts - total cash payments

= 3,625,300 - 3,269,500 = $355,800

Note, we are told that the minimum cash requirement = $340,000

Therefore:

Cash excess (deficiency) = Net cash available - minimum cash requirement

= 355,800 - 340,000 = $15,800 (excess)

excess because cash available is greater than the minimum cash requirement.

Which of the following statements support the claim that incentives matter? Explain why or why not. 1. When income transfers to

siniylev [52]

Answer:

1. When income transfers to the ablebodied poor increase, the recipients will have less incentive to work.

The incentive to work for most people is earning a wage to make a living.

For the poor, this incentive is even more so, because usually, the lack of work for them means severe lacking in their material needs: shelter, food, clothing, electricity, drinking water, and so on.

If the poor are given income transfers from the government, they will have less incentive to work simply because they now obtain some income without the need of doing so.

The incentive to work is reduced even more if the income transfers to the ablebodied poor increase so much that they become higher than the minimum wage. In a situation like this, many ablebodied poor will simply stop searching jobs because they can earn more money from the government by not working.
