In the same year, the world population was 6,853,000,000 people and the world population consumed 56,544 thousand metric tons of beef per year. If the entire population of the world ate beef at the same rate per person as the United States, then the world consumption rate would be between thousand metric tons of beef per year (a) 50,000 and 100,000 (b) 100,000 and 150,000 (c) 150,000 and 200,000 (d) 200,000 and 250,000 (e) 250,000 and 300,000

The entire poultry industry is working hard to keep up with demand, but egg production is falling behind. According to the USDA’s Economic Research Service, the price of eggs in the U.S. is expected to rise more than 35 percent in 2018. The cause of this egg price increases? An uptick in foreign demand for US eggs is partly to blame. When the avian influenza devastated Europe this past year, egg suppliers in the U.S. stepped in to help fill the demand in these countries. Another problem arose in late 2017 where some egg supplies were contaminated with a dangerous insecticide, affecting countries including Germany, France and Belgium. With millions of eggs being pulled from the shelves in Europe, US exports of eggs rose 663 percent between 2016 and 2017. Domestic demand has increased as well. In the United States, 2017 saw a 20-year record in egg consumption at 275.2 eggs per person per year. When you multiply that by 325 million Americans, that’s a lot of eggs. Now, consider the…

Imagine the country is made up of 100 households. The federal government needs to collect $800,000 in income taxes to be able to function. The population consists of 6 groups: Group A: 20 households that earn $12,000 each Group B: 20 households that earn $29,000 each Group C: 20 households that earn $50,000 each Group D: 20 households that earn $79,000 each Group E: 15 households that earn $129,000 each Group F: 5 households that earn $295,000 each This scenario is roughly proportional to the actual United States population and tax needs. We are going to determine new income tax rates. The first proposal we’ll consider is a flat tax – one where every income group is taxed at the same percentage tax rate. 1) Determine the total income for the population (all 100 people together) 2) Determine what flat tax rate would be necessary to collect enough money. The second proposal we’ll consider is a modified flat-tax plan, where everyone only pays taxes on any income over $20,000. So, everyone…
Consider the following transactions that take place in 2021. A rancher in Alberta takes $100 worth of inputs to produce animal skin, which she sells to a tanner in Ontario for $700. The tanner produces leather and sells it to a shoemaker in Portugal for $1200. The shoemaker in Portugal produces shoes and sells it to a boutique owner in British Columbia for $2000. The boutique owner in British Columbia sells the shoes for $4000 to its customers. a. What is the change in Canadian GDP as a result of these transactions? For each transaction, explain why it is included or excluded from Canadian GDP. b. Show that the value-added approach and the expenditure approach lead to the same GDP contribution. c. Using this example, explain why GDP is also a measure of a country’s income.
Say that the average worker in Canada has productivity of $33 per hour while the average worker in the United Kingdom has productivity of $29 per hour (both measured in U.S. dollars). Over the next six years, say that worker productivity in Canada grows at 1% per year while worker productivity in the UK grows 3% per year. At that point, who will have the higher productivity level, and by how much?
Global Reach, Inc., is considering opening a new warehouse to serve the Southwest region. Darnell Moore, controller for Global Reach, has been reading about the advantages of foreign trade zones. He wonders if locating in one would be of benefit to his company, which imports about 90 percent of its merchandise (e.g., chess sets from the Philippines, jewelry from Thailand, pottery from Mexico, etc.). Darnell estimates that the new warehouse will store imported merchandise costing about 16.78 million per year. Inventory shrinkage at the warehouse (due to breakage and mishandling) is about 8 percent of the total. The average tariff rate on these imports is 5.5 percent. Required: 1. If Global Reach locates the warehouse in a foreign trade zone, how much will be saved in tariffs? Why? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.) 2. Suppose that, on average, the merchandise stays in a Global Reach warehouse for nine months before shipment to retailers. Carrying cost for Global Reach is 6 percent per year. If Global Reach locates the warehouse in a foreign trade zone, how much will be saved in carrying costs? What will the total tariff-related savings be? (Round your answers to the nearest dollar.) 3. Suppose that the shifting economic situation leads to a new tariff rate of 13 percent, and a new carrying cost of 6.5 percent per year. To combat these increases, Global Reach has instituted a total quality program emphasizing reducing shrinkage. The new shrinkage rate is 7 percent. Given this new information, if Global Reach locates the warehouse in a foreign trade zone, how much will be saved in carrying costs? What will the total tariff-related savings be? (Round your answers to the nearest dollar.)
