Inflation in the Philippines this year has surged to 4.9% in 2022, exceeding the inflation target band set by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. In response, the BSP might raise their key real interest rate soon, which will in turn affect loaning and lending rates in the country.

Q/ Country X and Country Y are neighbours. Both Country X and Country Y can produce two goods: food and clothing. In one week, Country X can produce 4,400 clothing units or 2,200 food units, or a mix of the two. In one week, Country Y can produce 5,000 clothing units or 2,000 food units, or a mix of the two.For both Country X and Country Y, their individual trade-offs between clothing units and food units are constant, regardless of how they allocate their time. Currently, Country X produces 2,400 clothing units and 1,000 food units per week while Country Y produces 2,500 clothing units and 1,000 food units per week. c.

An economy depends on two basic products, wheat and oil. To produce 1 metric ton of wheat requires 0.25 metric tons of wheat and 0.33 metric tons of oil. Production of 1 metric ton of oil consumes 0.08 metric tons of wheat and 0.11 metric tons of oil. Find the production that will satisfy a demand for 540 metric tons of wheat and 870 metric tons of oil. The input-output matrix is A= 0.25 0.08 0.33 0.11 .
Using Figure 1.3 above, an increase in the capacity to produce can be represented by a movement from: 1: Point D to Point C. 2: Point F to Point D. 3: Point B to Point C. 4: Point B to Point F.
