Consider the following hypothetical data for the U.S. economy in 2018 (all amounts are in trillions of dollars; see pages 179–182).Consumption 11.0 Indirect business taxes .8 Depreciation 1.3 Government spending 3.8 Imports 2.7 Gross private domestic investment 4.0 Exports 2.5e. Based on the data, what is GDP? NDP? NI?f. Suppose that in 2019, exports fall to $2.3 trillion, imports rise to $2.85 trillion, and gross private domestic investment falls to $3.25 trillion. What will GDP be in 2019, assuming that other values do not change between 2018 and 2019?
Suppose an economy produces only 2 products that will also be used for directconsumption, as per the article at the end of the exam: chicken wings and donuts. Inthe second quarter of 2021 (the base period), 180,000 pounds of chicken wings wereproduced, at a value of $3.50 per pound, while in the second quarter of 2022,production of chicken wings increased to 200,000 pounds, at a value of $3.75 perpound. In the second quarter of 2021 (the base period), 85,000 donuts were producedat a value of $0.85 per donut, while in the second quarter of 2022, donut productionincreased to 100,000 donuts, each at a value of $0.95 per donut. The population inthis economy is 1000 individuals in 2022, while the number of hours worked in 2022is 5000. Also, the quantities that were produced in 2021 represent the quantities thatwere purchased by the typical household, meaning that everything that was producedwas sold.d. Solve for the amount of labor productivity in the second quarter of 2022.e. Solve for the…

Explain “Changes in inventories”. If a demand shock occurs in the economy and thedemand falls drastically when prices are flexible, how would “Changes in inventories”account respond this? Why?

Suppose an economy has two years worth of data, years 1 and 2. Sup- pose there are also two goods, bread and corn. Suppose in year one fifty units of corn are sold at a price of 1 $ and 20 units of bread are sold at a price of 2 $. Suppose in year two, 60 units of corn are sold at a price of 1.5 $ and 80 units of bread are sold at a price of 2.05 $. Compute nominal GDP in both periods. Compute real GDP under both definitions of a base year. Compute also a chain weighted real GDP series. For all three measures, compute the GDP deflator. In addition, compute a CPI’s for each base year assuming total consump- tion in the base year forms the basket of goods for measurement. What are the implications for these measures for the amount of inflation in this economy. [Note, you should have five candidate measures]. What about the amount of economic growth? Suppose that corn in year 2 is twice as valuable as corn in year 1 to consumers in terms of their enjoyment from its consumption (or in…
National income accounting (GDP calculate) is an essential part of macroeconomics. Analyse the following hypothetical economy and answer the questions that follow: G = 400, I = 70, X = 300, M =100, autonomous consumption = 100, MPC = 0.6, taxes=50 Calculate the level of national income in this economy What percentage of disposable income do people save? Calculate the level of savings Show that in this economy, injections are indeed equal to withdrawals Calculate the multiplier? Using the multiplier in v above, what would be the new level of national income if government spending rose to 500?
How shares of GDP accounted for by each component of GDP (C, I, G, X, and M) have changed across these three dates. Any trends? Any large changes? Be specific. 1968Q4 2000Q1 2023Q1 Consumption 59% 66% 68% Investment 17% 20% 17% Government Purchases 24% 18% 18% Exports 5% 11% 11% Imports -5% -14% -15%
1. According to the BEA, in the second quarter of 2012 personal consumption expenditures grew by 1.7 percent, gross private domestic investment grew by 3.0 percent, government expenditure on goods and services decreased by -0.9 percent, imports grew by 2.9%, and exports grew by 6.0%. Given these data, it is most likely that A) GDP growth was positive in the 2nd quarter. B) GDP growth was negative in the 2nd quarter. C) the economy hit a business cycle peak. D) the economy hit a business cycle trough. 2. In the national income accounts, government expenditure on goods and services exclude A) transfer payments. B) state and local government purchases. C) local government purchases but include state government purchases. D) spending on national defense. 3. Transfer payments A) are included in the government expenditure category in gross domestic product. B) refer to all payments made to households by governments. C) refer to payments made by the government that are not made to…
c Suppose the real GDP in an economy is currently $320 billion, C is $160 billion, I is $50 billion, G is $32 billion, and Nx is $-20 billion. What can you say about the state of equilibrium in this economy? Will its real GDP rise, fall, or stay the same? Explain.

What wasthe growth rate ofNominalGDP between 2016and 2017?(v) Was the growth rate of real GDP higher or lower that the growth rate of nominalGDP?Explain. (vi) Using 2015 asthe base year, calculate the CPI for each year. (vii). Calculate the inflation rate for 2015, 2016 and 2017.
Gross Domestic Product Explain how net exports affect the US economy. Describe both positive and negative impacts on GDP. Why do national income accountants use net exports to compute GDP, rather than simply adding exports to the other expenditure components of GDP? You have the following information on 3 countries: Soccerland, Handeggland, and Neverland How long will it take until Soccerland’s GDP increases by 75%? How long will it take until Soccerland and Handeggland have the same GDP? Soccerland’s population is not happy that, eventually, Handeggland is going to have higher GDP than their country. They feel that they are a much better country, so they are going to work harder to ensure that Handeggland will never catch up with Soccerland. If Soccerland’s new growth rate is constant every year, what is the minimum growth rate that ensures that Soccerland will always have a higher GDP than Handeggland? Neverland’s ambition is to host the World Cup. At the…
