The Government of Bangladesh plans to administer 280 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine in the coming two years. Most of these vaccines will be imported from India, and other countries. Suppose, the cost of importing each dose of this vaccine is taka 10. What do you think the effect of this massive vaccine procurement have on Bangladesh's GDP? GDP will increase by taka 2,800 million (2.8 billion) GDP will increase by more than taka 2,800 million GDP will not change, or change minimally GDP will fall by taka 2,800 million

Consider a macroeconomy where the current population is 800 thousand people. Gross domestic private investment is constant $2500 million while consumer expenditure is described by the equation: C = 580 +0.8DI. The government is fairly active, with a total expenditure of $2000 million andnet taxes of $2550 million. Further investigation of the macroeconomy reveals that imports are constant at $3000 million while exports are constant at $2500 million. Currently, the overall price level (GDP deflator) is 118 and the potental GDP level is $13.5 billion.(Question4 of 7)Now, consider that the government decreases taxes by 7.5%. While the change had a direct impact on the economy, other market conditions led to an unanticipated change in the economy. Specifically, imports decrease by 7.5%. At the same time, given the birth rate, mortality rate, and net migration, the economy experienced a 0% change in its population.1. As a result of these events, what is the current equilibrium level of GDP?…

Assume taxes are zero and an economy has a consumption function of C = 0.56 (Yd) + $777.68. By how much will GDP change if net exports change by -411.26? Round your answer to two digits after the decimal.
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.

Consider an economy similar to that in the preceding question in which investment is also $200, government purchases are also $500, net exports are also $30, and the price level is also fixed. But taxes now vary with income and, as a result, the consumption schedule looks like the following: GDP Taxes DI C $1,360 $320 $1,040 $810 1,480 360 1,120 870 1,600 400 1,200 930 1,720 440 1,280 990 1,840 480 1,360 1,050 Find the equilibrium graphically.

A country’s GDP is defined by the following equation: GDP = Consumer Spending + Investmentspending. The economy of this country is closed and there’s no government. Investment spendingis defined by the following equation: Investment Spending = Investment (planned) + Investment(unplanned). Investment (planned) is fixed at 350. Consumer spending is defined by thefollowing equation: Consumer spending = 200 + 0.55 (GDP). And for this country, PlannedExpenditure = Consumer Spending + Investment Planned. Based on this information, attempt thefollowing questions:a. “Investment (unplanned) will be negative if GDP is 900” – showing work, test theauthenticity of this statement. b. How do you think GDP (and production) will change if the income of this country is 1500?Explain by deriving Investment (unplanned) for an income of 1500. c.
