Assume that a national restaurant chain called BBQ builds 20 new restaurants at a cost of $1 million per restaurant. It outfits each restaurant with an additional $400,000 of equipment and furnishings. To help partially defray the cost of this expansion, BBQ issues and sells 400,000 shares of stock at $40 per share. a. What is the amount of economic investment that has resulted from BBQ’s actions? $_________ million b. How much purely financial investment took place? $__________ million
Assume an economy with 1000 consumers. Each consumer has income in the current period of 50 units and future income of 60 units, and pays a lump-sum tax of 10 in the current period and 20 in the future period. The market real interest rate is 8%. Of the 1000 consumers, 500 consume 60 units in the future, while 500 consume 20 units in the future. Determine each consumer’s current consumption and current saving. Current Consumption: Current Saving: Determine aggregate private saving, aggregate consumption in each period, government spending in the current and future periods, the current-period government deficit, and the quantity of debt issued by the government in the current period. Aggregate Private Saving Aggregate Consumption Government spending: Current Future Current period government deficit Quantity of debt

Scenario 2Suppose the marginal product of capital is MPK=2-0.001K, the capital stock depreciates at 20% rate, the tax rate on revenues is 20% and price of capital is assumned to be 1. Furthermore, the economy has full-employment level of output of 5000, government purchases are 1000. Desired consumption is given by C^d=3000-2000r+0.1Y, where Y is output and r is expected real interest rate. Initial level of capital is 1000.Refer to Scenario 2. what is the expression for desired gross investment ? A) I^d=950-1250r B)I^d=950+1250r C)I^d=1750-1250r D)I^d=1950-1250r.

Assume that GDP (Y ) is 5,000 in a closed economy. Consumption (C) is given by the equationC = 1,200 + 0.6(Y −T)−100r, where r is the real interest rate, in percent. Investment (I) is givenby the equation I = 2,000 − 200r. Taxes (T) are 1,000, and government spending (G) is 1,500.(a) What are the equilibrium values of C, I, and r? (b) What are the values of private saving, public saving, and national saving? (c) For the given consumption function, what does the relationship between consumption and theinterest rate imply about the saving schedule?
Suppose that conditions in the economy are such that the after-tax expected real interest rate is described by the equationRa = a X gWhere a is a number that depends on how people value their consumption in one period compared with another period, and g is the growth rate of the economy. The a equals 1 when people prefer consumption to be balanced, with the same amount of consumption each period; a may be bigger than the one when people prefer consumption today over consumption in the future, with a being larger and larger the more impatient people are:A - Suppose that a = 2, g = 0.02, the inflation rate is expected to be steady at pi = 0.03, and the tax rate is .40. What are the values of the equilibrium nominal interest rate and the before-tax expected real interest rate?B - Beginning with the situation in part a, if the growth rate of the economy increases to .04, what are the new values of the equilibrium nominal interest rate and the before-tax expected real interest rate?C -…

Suppose, the government of Australia incurs a budget deficit of $50 billion due to increased government spending in 2020 as result of Covid 19. Because of this, the government borrowing in 2021 increases by the same amount. a) Compare the size of equilibrium changes in 1) investment, 2) public saving, 3) private saving and 4) national saving (public saving + private saving) with $50 billion increase in borrowing. Compare the changes (increase/decrease) in these variables indicating same, less or more than the $50 billion. b) Will the equilibrium quantity of national savings change by more or less than the initial change in public saving?
