Suppose an economy has four sectors: Mining, Lumber, Energy, and Transportation. Mining sells 10% of its output to Lumber, 60% to Energy, and retains the rest. Lumber sells 5% of its output to Mining, 60% to Energy, 25% to Transportation, and retains the rest. Energy sells 30% of its output to Mining, 15% to Lumber, 25% to Transportation, and retains the rest. Transportation sells 25% of its output to Mining, 15% to Lumber, 50% to Energy, and retains the rest. a. Construct the exchange table for this economy. b. Find a set of equilibrium prices for this economy. a. Complete the exchange table below. Distribution of Output from: Mining Lumber Energy Transportation (Type integers or decimals.)

Suppose U.S. drivers purchased $50 billion of ExxonMobil-produced gasoline during a recent year, with one-half purchased directly from ExxonMobil-owned gas stations and one-half from independent (or third-party) gas stations. Suppose further that ExxonMobil purchased the oil (which it refined into gasoline) from foreign producers for $20billion and that it receives 60 percent of the sales revenue that independent stations generate from selling ExxonMobil gasoline. In this case, the value added by ExxonMobil to U.S. GDP is $__billion.
Suppose an economy produces steel, wheat, and oil. The steel industry produces $100,000 inrevenue, spends $4,000 on oil, $10,000 on wheat, pays workers $80,000. The wheat industryproduces $150,000 in revenue, spends $20,000 on oil, $10,000 on steel, and pays workers$90,000. The oil industry produces $200,000 in revenue, spends $40,000 on wheat, $30,000 onsteel, and pays workers $100,000. There is no government. There are neither exports norimports, and none of the industries accumulate or decumulate inventories. Output not sold toother sectors is sold as final goods Q A government is introduced. First consider this policy: the government taxes oilproducers $10,000, and distributes this revenue to workers. Recalculate GDP using theincome approach.
Goods and Services are exchanged and used As Final Consumption For Investment As Inputs in the production of other goods and services All of the above
What is the difference between financial investment and economic investment? 1) There is no difference between the two. 2) Financial investment refers to the purchase of financial assets only; economic investment refers to the purchase of any new or used capital goods. 3) Economic investment is adjusted for inflation; financial investment is not. 4) Financial investment refers to the purchase of assets for financial gain; economic investment refers to the purchase of newly created capital goods.
Suppose a grocery store's sales are 200,000 TL in one year. During this same time period, the firm paid 50,000 TL for grocery stock sold, 70,000 TL for wages and salaries, 20,000 TL on taxes and insurance, and 10,000 TL on other expenses. At the beginning of this period, the grocery store owner had received the following two offers:He could rent the store to another grocer and work for a large chain in which case he wouldmake a return of 35 ,OOO TL during that year (including his salary).Offer II: He could have sold the store and invested in a stock which together would have yielded a returnof 35,000 TL during that year, and gotten a job paying 15,000 TL. He declined both offers. a.What is the difference between explicit and implicit costs to a firm?

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…

Assume an economy with two firms: a coffee beans producer and a coffeeshop. In a given year, a coffee beans producer grows 75,000 tonnes of coffee beans, sells 50,000tonnes of coffee beans to the local coffee shop at $50 per tonne, exports 20,000 tonnes of coffeebeans at $50 per tonne, and stores 5,000 tonnes as inventory. The coffee producer pays $100,000in wages to consumers. The coffee shop produces 1,000,000 cups of coffee and sells all of it todomestic consumers at $4 a coffee. The coffee shop pays consumers $400,000 in wages. Inaddition to the 1,000,000 coffees consumers buy from the local coffee shop, they (consumers)import and consume 300,000 cups of coffee (coffee pods), and they pay $2 per a coffee pod.Calculate gross domestic product using• the product approach,• the expenditure approach, and• the income approach.

Since the end of World War II, manufacturing firms in the United States and in Europe have been moving farther and farther outside of central cities. At the same time, firms in finance, insurance, and other parts of the service sector have been locating near downtown areas in tall buildings. One major reason seems to be that manufacturing firms find it difficult to substitute capital for land, whereas service-sector firms that use office space do not. a. What kinds of buildings represent the substitution of capital for land? b. Why do you think that manufacturing firms might find it difficult to substitute capital for land? c. Why is it relatively easier for a law firm or an insurance company to substitute capital for land?
11.3 The price of crude oil during the period 2000-2010 can be approximated by P(t) = 6t + 18 dollars per barrel (0 ≤ t ≤ 10) in year t, where t = 0 represents 2000. Russia's crude oil production over the same period can be approximated by Q(t) = −0.08t2 + 1.2t + 5.5 million barrels per day (0 ≤ t ≤ 10). † Use these models to estimate Russia's daily oil revenue and also its rate of change in 2007. (Round your answers to the nearest $1 million.) daily oil revenue$ millionrate of change in 2007$ million per year

Using quarterly data from 1947 to the present, graph residential fixed investment relative to GDP a. Compare the graph of residential investment relative to GDP to a graph of the civilian unemployment rate. What happens to residential investment during recessions? In this respect, is residential investment similar to or different from other types of investment? b. During the two decades after World War II, there was an upsurge in population growth and household formation known as the “baby boom.” The baby boom was followed by a “baby bust” during which population growth slowed. How are these demographic trends connected to the behavior of residential investment relative to GDP shown in your graph?
