An Economy is composed of a Producer of Apples, a Producer of Bananas, a Grocery Store, Consumers, and the Government. Producers of Apples and producers of bananas sell some of their output to the grocery store, and some directly to consumers. Producers of apples and bananas also have some loans, which they owe to consumers, and pay some interest on them. The government collects taxes and spends them on miliary personnel, which appear as wages. The following tables contain the relevant data for all of them to calculate GDP, except for consumers: Apples Producers Total Revenues Wages Interest on Loan Тахes 100 10 10 Bananas Producers Total Revenues 200 15 Wages Interest on Loan Taxes 20 Grocery Store Cost of Apples Cost of Bananas Wages Taxes Revevenues 50 50 40 10 200 Government Taxes 50 Wages 50 Calculate GDP in the economy (you can use any approach you want).

Part of a bridge built by the government of Ritzland collapsed in the same year it was constructed. If the total cost of building the bridge was $4 million, and then it costs $3 million to repair it, which of the following will happen in this scenario, everything else remaining unchanged? Ritzland's GDP will decrease by $4 million. Ritzland's GDP will increase by $3 million. Ritzland's GDP will increase by $7 million. Ritzland's GDP will increase by $1 million
Suppose an economy produces steel, wheat, and oil. The steel industry produces $80,000 in revenue, spends $4,000 on oil, $8,000 on wheat, pays workers $60,000. The wheat industry produces $120,000 in revenue, spends $20,000 on oil, $10,000 on steel, and pays workers $80,000. The oil industry produces $180,000 in revenue, spends $20,000 on wheat, $20,000 on steel, and pays workers $80,000. There is no government. There are neither exports nor imports, and none of the industries accumulate or deaccumulate inventories. Calculate GDP using the production and income approaches.
Goods and Services are exchanged and used As Final Consumption For Investment As Inputs in the production of other goods and services All of the above
To measure the vital signs - or indicators of the strengths or weaknesses of an economy include factors other than the GDP. Below is a list of such additional economic indicators that also measure the strength of an economy. But ONE of the items listed is NOT an economic indicator that helps us assess the economic condition of the economy. Which one of the below IS NOT an economic indicator of the strength of an economy? Group of answer choices Relatively lower income inequality. Heavy government controls and large government spending. The lower percentage of people living below the poverty rate. Lower unemployment rate.
We live in a world where computers and other items of technology seem to get ever cheaper to produce. Such technology is important in the production of a vast range of consumer goods. We wish to analyse the impact of this phenomenon on two key pieces of economic data. The main impact of the decreasing cost of technology is that (select from consumption/investment/government spending/exports/imports/economy-wide production costs/wage costs) would (Select increase/decrease) This would shift the (Select one from the picture attached) which (Select: Increse or decreases the price level) and (Select: increases or decreases GDP) Suppose that the economy is now away from long run equilibrium (GDP is above Yf). The way that the economy adjusts back to equilibrium is that (Select: interest rates/the exchange rate/factor prices such as wages/governement spending) (Select: Increases/decreases). This shifts the (Select one from the picture attached)
Consider an economy of four sectors, Agriculture, Energy, Manufacturing, and Transportation. Agriculture sector sells 12% of its output to Energy, 35% to Manufacturing, 25% to Transportation and retains the rest. Energy sector sells 30% of its output to Agriculture, 30% to Manufacturing, 15% to Transportation and retains the rest. Manufacturing sector sells 30% of its output to Agriculture, 27% to Energy, and retains the rest. Transportation sector sells 20% of its output to Agriculture, 10% to Energy, 30% to Manufacturing and retains the rest. a. Construct the exchange table for this economy. b. Write down the system of linear equation that leads to prices at which each sector’s income matches its expenses, and solve these equations by Gaussian method to find these prices.
Consider an economy with two firms. Firm A produces cotton and firm B produces cotton swabs. In a given year, firm A produces 100,000 pounds of cotton, sells 40,000 pounds of cotton to firm B at $3 per pound, and exports 60,000 pounds of cotton at $3 per pound. Firm A pays $100,000 in wages to consumers. Firm B produces 50,000,000 cotton swabs, and sells 40,000,000 cotton swabs to domestic consumers at $0.04 per swab, and stores 10,000,000 cotton swabs as inventory. Firm B pays consumers $40,000 in wages. In addition to the 40,000,000 cotton swabs consumers buy from firm B, consumers import and consume 5,000,000 cotton swabs, and they pay $0.06 per cotton swab. a. Calculate GDP using 1. Production/value added approach 2. Expenditure approach
During 2020, Nation Z produced only 10 goods. Goods A, B C, D and E are intermediate goods. Goods F, G, H, I and I are final goods. The intermediate goods (A, B, C, D and E) are used in the production of the final goods (F, G, H, I and J). The quantities produced and sold of each good in 2019 are as follows: QA= 50 units; Q8= 40 units; Qc= 60 units; Qu= 70 units; Qe= 30 units; Q:= 40 units; QG= 60 units; Qu= 50 units; Q = 30 units; Q = 70 units. The 2019 market prices of each good are as follows: PA= 200; Ps= 300; Pe= 600; P = 50; Pe= 40; P= 300; Pg= 200; P = 50; P = 40€; P;= 300. Based on the above information, determine the value of nominal GDP for 2020. Thoroughly explain your answer.
A fast-food company spends millions of dollars to develop and promote a new hamburger on its menu only to find that consumers won't buy it because they don't like the taste. From an economic perspective, the company should keep the hamburger on the menu because they've spent so much money and time developing and promoting the product. spend more money to develop a more efficient way to cook the hamburger so it cooks in a shorter time. pull the hamburger off the menu and treat the development and promotion expenditures as a sunk cost. keep trying to sell the hamburger so that people who developed and promote it have a job with the company.
In 2020, a simple economy relied on three sectors: manufacturing, professional services, and agriculture: A total output of $165 of agriculture are produced. Of those, $100 are external demand, $20 go back to agriculture, $30 is sold to manufacturing, and $15 is sold to professional services. A total output of $90 of manufacturing services are produced. Of those, $35 are external demand, $15 go back to manufacturing, $10 are sold to agriculture, and $30 are sold to professional services. A total output of $60 of professional services are produced. Of those, $35 are external demand, none go back to professional services, $15 is sold to agriculture, and $10 to manufacturing services. Suppose in 2020, external demand changes: agriculture doubles in demand and manufacturing demand is reduced by 50%. What is the total production of each sector?
Consider a simple two-sector economy containing manufacturing and agricultural industries. Manufacturing industry requires $20 million worth of its own product and $40 million worth of agricultural industry output in the process of supplying $75 million worth of its own product to final consumers. Similarly, agricultural industry requires $20 million worth of its own product and $20 million worth of manufacturing industry output in the process of supplying $20 million worth of its own product to final consumers. The primary suppliers provide inputs to manufacturing and agricultural industries worth $40 and $60 million, respectively and purchase the final outputs of $5 million. The initial sales/purchase is $30 million for manufacturing and $15 million for agriculture industry. Calculate:i. The direct and indirect sales.ii. Explain the total economic impact briefly.
