Between 2020 and 2022, property prices across Australia have increased by 30% on average. This has affected the wealth of Australian households and firms. Approximately 70 percent of Australian households own or are in the process of purchasing a home. Moreover, many large firms own properties, which are often used to borrow funds for investment. As the value of properties has increased, this has had an impact on the wealth of some households and the amount that firms can borrow. As household wealth and the amount that firms can borrow have increased, household consumption expenditure and firm investment have increased. Use a Keynesian model of the macroeconomy to describe how this increase in consumption and investment would have affected the output in the Australian economy. Be specific and describe what components of expenditure are affected and why.

Problem 2 The demand-function for a given consumer good (A) is given as: ?_a=1400−4?_?−2?_?−0.005_? Where PA = 200 USD is the price for good A, PB = 50 USD is the price for good B, and I = 20,000 USD is the disposable income. Question 2.1 Provide examples of three more factors that influence demand of consumer good A, besides the ones presented in the equation above. Briefly explain why and how they would influence demand. Question 2.2. Find price point elasticity for good A and provide an economic interpretation. Question 2.3. Find cross price elasticity between goods A and B and provide an economic interpretation.
11) Suppose that it is observed that the price of a commodity rises and that the quantity sold falls. From this we can deduce A) that the demand curve has shifted to the left, but we cannot deduce whether or not the supply curve has shifted. B) that the demand curve has shifted to the right, but we cannot deduce whether or not the supply curve has shifted. C) that the supply curve has shifted to the right, but we cannot deduce whether or not the demand curve has shifted. D) that the supply curve has shifted to the left, but we cannot deduce whether or not the demand curve has shifted

17 - Assume that a consumer has a given budget or income of $12 and that she can buy only two goods, apples or bananas. The price of an apple is $2.00 and the price of a banana is $1.00.

Suggest plausible factors which could have an impact on the demand and supply of oil in the near term.o Argue whetheron balance these effects are expected to push oilprices up, down, or keep them stable.o Include diagrams as appropriate.
Exercise 1: Identifying the determinants of demand. In worksheet 5B, you have seen have how an increase in demand is depicted on a graph by a shift in the demand curve. • When the demand curve shifts upward and to the right, this is indicative of an increase in demand. • When the demand curve shifts to the left, this is indicative of a decrease in demand. • Factors that result in a change in demand are the determinants of demand. Working as a part of a team of three or four, complete the table below. For each determinant of demand: • indicate whether demand will increase or decrease; • provide an explanation as to why.

Title Suppose that Lynn enjoys coconut oil in her coffee. She has very particular preferences, and she mus Description Suppose that Lynn enjoys coconut oil in her coffee. She has very particular preferences, and she must have exactly two spoonfuls of coconut oil for each cup of coffee. Let C be the number of cups of coffee, and O be the number of spoonfuls of coconut oil. Also, let PC be the price of a cup of coffee. Suppose Lynn has $12 to spend on coffee and coconut oil. Also, the price of coconut oil is $.50 per spoonful.a) Graph Lynnâs Price Consumption Curve for prices, PC = $1, PC = $2, and PC = $3. Please put the number of cups of coffee on the horizontal axis, and the number of spoonfuls of coconut oil on the vertical axis. Be sure to label your graph carefully and accurately.b) Graph Lynnâs demand curve for coffee. You may assume that both coconut oil and coffee are continuous variables so she can consume any amount of coffee and coconut oil that she could afford.…
