The following graph shows three total expenditure lines for an economy at three different price levels. AE130 corresponds to the price level of 130; AE110 corresponds to the price level of 110; AE150 corresponds to the price level of 150. The black line (which starts in the bottom left corner) is a 45-degree line illustrating the set of points for which real GDP and total expenditure are equal. 1. What is the level of equilibrium output at a price level of 110 is what? (First picture) 2. Plot aggregate demand curve in second picture
Consider an economy that produces and consumes bread and automobiles. In the following table are data for two different years. Year 2000 2010 Price of an automobile $40,000 $50,000 Price of a loaf bread $20 $30 Number of auto-mobiles produced 100 cars 120 cars Number of loaves of bread produced 600,000 loaves 500,000 loaves Using the year 2000, compute the following statistics for each year: nominal GDP, real GDP, the implicit price deflator for GDP, and a fixed-weight price index such as CPI. How much have prices risen between year 2000 and year 2010? Compare answers given by Laspeyres and Passche price indices. Suppose you are a senior public servant writing a bill to index Social Security and pensions. That is your bill will adjust these benefits to offset changes in the cost of living.
