Consider the following intertemporal consumption problem with one good and two periods. The quantity of the good consumed in period 1 and period 2 are q1 and q2. The price of each unit of the good is $1 in both periods. The consumer’s income is I1=10 in the first period and I2=12 in the second period. The consumer can borrow or save money at the interest rate of 50%, that is, r=0.50. The consumer’s utility function is u(q1,q2)= q1q2. The optimal choice of q1 is a. 9 b. 10 c. 11 And the consumer will: d. borrow 1 e. save 1 f. borrow 2 g, save 0

Consider the following demand components: Consumption described as a following: 120 million USD as an autonomous level of consumption plus 80% of disposable income spends on consumption.

I = 30 G=15 T= 20 (a)Assuming goods market equilibrium, show equilibrium level of output in this economy. (b)How much output increase, if G increase from 15 to 20, show your calculations.
Determine equilibrium levels of income and consumption for the following functions. a.C=20+0.75y,I=20, b.C=50+0.60y and I=30.where C&I, are consumption and investment respectively in billions of naira
Assume an intertemporal budget constraint that shows how consumption can be traded off between two periods, t and t+1. Assume the consumer can save and borrow at the same interest rate of 10%. Assume the consumer collects income of $100 in each period. To gain an extra $10 dollars in period t+1, what must the consumer give up in period t?
Assume that marginal propensity to consume is 0.75. autonomous consumption is 100 units (consumption function therefore is as follows: C=100+0.75 Y) . Calculate Multiplier Equilibrium output if Y=100 How much does equilibrium output change if autonomous consumption increases by 50 to 150 units (Hint: use multiplier)

If Samantha's income is reduced to zero after she loses her job, her consumption will be ________ and her saving will be ________. Group of answer choices greater than zero; less than zero less than zero; less than zero greater than zero; greater than zero less than zero; greater than zero
If a household’s income falls from R12 000 to R10 000, and its consumption falls from R9 500 to R8 000, then: The marginal propensity to consume is ‐0.8. The marginal propensity to consume is 0.75. The marginal propensity to consume is 0.2. The marginal propensity to save is 0.15.
Consider an economy described by the following:Autonomous consumption ( a ) = 100Autonomous Investment = 100Marginal propensity to consume = 0.75 What is the savings function for this economy?
Suppose a state aims to make it easier for people to purchase school supplies for children by exempting these purchases from sales taxes. Such programs are often called "sales tax holidays." Identify which of the following would be considered an unintended consequence of this policy.Choose one: A. An increase in purchases just prior to and immediately following the sales tax holiday. B. An increase in prices by retailers expecting higher demand during the sales tax holiday. C. A large increase in net sales. D. A steep decline in sales during the sales tax holiday.
Another important aspect of Tourism Economics is the multiplier effect, which refers to the additional economic activity generated by tourism spending. When tourists spend money in a destination, it circulates through the local economy, benefiting not just the direct recipients of this spending but also other businesses and their employees. For example, tourists spending money in local restaurants support not only the restaurant staff but also local suppliers and their workers. The multiplier effect in Tourism Economics is essential because it: A) Reduces overall economic activity B) Only benefits the tourism sector C) Generates additional economic activity beyond the initial spending D) Leads to economic stagnation
