8. Lean as a Strategy The American textile industry has moved much of its operations offshore in the pursuit of lower labor costs. Textile imports have risen from 2% of all textile production in the early 1960s to over 70%. Offshore manufacturers make long runs of standard mass-market apparel items. These are then brought to the United States in container ships, requiring significant time between original order and delivery. As a result, retail customers must accurately forecast market demands for imported apparel items. Rather than competing with the offshore manufacturers on price in the textile industry, some U.S companies are: a.providing smaller quantities with much faster delivery. b.producing much larger batches with a strategy of flooding the market. c.making large order commitments to control the fashion market. d."providing smaller quantities with much faster delivery", "producing much larger batches with a strategy of flooding the market", and "making large order…

2. Imports and ExportsNow we allow for international trade. Use the following information from problem 1: C = 400 + (8/9)*DI I = 300G = 800T = (1/2)*Y. Suppose that exports are constant at X = 300.Let imports be a fraction of real income: M = (1/9) * Y. a. Give intuition for why imports M are positively related to national income Y in the equation above.b. Suppose that national income increases by $1. How much will spending on imports increase (the marginal propensity to import) in this case? c. Compute the equilibrium level of national income under international trade. d. Suppose that government spending increases by $120. i) Compute the new equilibrium national income. ii) Based on your numerical answer to (i), calculate the change in national income from a one dollar increase in government spending. iii) Derive the new fiscal multiplier from an increase in government spending using an algebraic equation. Compare to Problem 2.d.(ii). Compare to Problem 1.c.(v).e. Trade…
