O A. Disagree: While GDP will be high in this case, it is the result of an increase in consumer expenditure on stocks, not investment spending. Agree: GDP =C+I+G+ NX. Therefore, as "I" (Investment) increases, GDP increases. B. O C. Disagree: Investment as a component of GDP refers to the purchase of physical and human capital and inventory, not stock purchases. O D. Agree: When investment is high, people must have more money to spend. Therefore, GDP increases.arrow_forward
- An individual buys $11,000 of stock. The stock grows by 6 percent each year. Calculate the final value after taxes if the individual holds the stock for 2 years. Assume that only half of realized capital gains is taxable and that the tax rate is 40 percent. The individual sells the stock at the end of the 2 years. What is the final value of the stock after taxes, rounded to the nearest dollar?

Suppose national saving is reflected by NS, and investment demand is reflected by lo. Now suppose the government implements a revenue-neutral tax policy that encourages investment. What is the effect on the real interest rate? Select one: O a. There is no effect on NS or ID, and the interest rate remains at i*. O b. The real interest rate rises because of the decrease in the budget surplus. O C. National saving shifts to NS₁, and the real interest rate falls to i3. O d. Investment demand shifts to 1₁D, and the real interest rate rises to i₂. O e. The real interest rate falls because of the decrease in the budget surplus.arrow_forward5. LO 2,5 A consumer receives income y in the current period and income y' in the future period, and pays taxes of t and t' in the current and future periods, respectively. The consumer can borrow and lend at the real interest rate r. This consumer faces a constraint on how much he or she can borrow, much like the credit limit typically placed on a credit card account. That is, the consumer cannot borrow more than x, where x < we-y+t, with we denoting lifetime wealth. Use diagrams to determine the effects on the consumer's current consumption, future consumption, and saving of a change in x, and explain your results.arrow_forward
