Answer:
There is trade diversion and a welfare loss for country X.
Explanation:
A trade diversion is created since country X no longer imports widgets from country Z and instead it imports them from country Y. Since country X started to import from country Y following the formation of a regional trade agreement it is losing welfare. This happens because country Z's widgets had a lower price but they were replaced due to the advantages given to country Y's widgets by the trade agreement.
Answer: 4.38%
Explanation:
Use the Quantity Theory of Money to find the growth rat:
MV = PY
ΔMoney supply + ΔVelocity = ΔPrice level + ΔEconomic output or GDP
Velocity is stable so is 0.
ΔMoney supply + 0 = 2.50% + 1.88%
ΔMoney supply = 4.38%
Answer:
- Net Exports = $-762
- GDP = $13,194.70
- Expenditure approach.
Explanation:
The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the value of the final goods and services produced in a country in a given period (usually a year).
It can be calculated by the formula;
= C + I + G + (X - M)
= Consumption + Investment + Government Spending + Net Exports
Net Exports = Exports - Imports
= 1,467.60 - 2,229.60
= -$762
GDP = 9,224.5 + 2,209.2 + 2,523 - 762
= $13,194.70
This method of calculating GDP is called the EXPENDITURE METHOD because it calculates the amount spent on gods and services in the country because the logic is that the final goods and services produced in the country were spent on by economic agent.
