Suppose the price level reflects the number of dollars needed to buy a basket of goods containing one cup of coffee, one donut, and one newspaper. In year one, the basket costs $6.00.
In year two, the price of the same basket is $7.00. From year one to year two, there is at an annual rate of .
In year one, $12.00 will buy baskets, and in year two, $12.00 will buy baskets.
This example illustrates that, as the price level rises, the value of money .
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.

What is the implicit cost of the businessin question?b.Calculate his economic profits for the year.c.Was his decision to keep the grocery store economically rational? Explain why or why not.

Assume that the average or mean monthly household consumption expenditure for Malaysia rose from RM3,578 in 2018 to RM4,033 in 2020, growing 6% per annum at nominal value, according to the statistics department. However, in terms of real value — which refers to the constant price using the Consumer Price Index with the base year 2014 as the deflator — annual growth rate is 3.9% for the same period, mentioned on its Household Expenditure Survey Report 2020.
a) Suppose that consumer spending initially rises by RM5 billion for every 1 percent rise in household wealth and that investment spending initially rises by RM20 billion for every 1 percentage point fall in the real interest rate. Also, assume that the economy’s multiplier is 4.
i. If household wealth falls by 5 percent because of declining house values, and the real interest rate falls by two percentage points, in what direction and by how much will the aggregate demand curve initially shift at each price level?
ii. In what…

- In 2014, the cost of a market basket of goods was $2,000. In 2016, the cost of the same market basket of goods was $2,100. Use the price index formula to calculate the price index for 2016 if 2014 is the base year. Suppose that in 2015, a typical U.S. student attending a state-supported college bought 10 textbooks at a price of $100 per book and enrolled in 25 credit hours of coursework at a price of $360 per credit hour. In 2016, the typical student continued to purchase 10 textbooks and enroll in 25 credit hours, but the price of a textbook rose to $110 per book and the tuition price increased to $400 per credit hour. The base year for computing a “student price index” using this information is 2015. What is the value of the student price index in 2015? In 2016? Show your work.

This level of expenditure is very closely related to conditions in the country's macro-economic environment. For marketers, it is crucial to be able to read the macro-economic environment and to predict the effects of change in demand for their goods and services. Identifying turning points in the economic cycle has become a work of art as well as science, as consumers frequently confound experts by changing their expenditure levels in a way which could not have been predicted on the basis of past experience. During the Autumn of 1998, mortgage rates in the UK were falling; unemployment was close to its lowest level for two decades; pay rises were keeping ahead of inflation; and share prices were recovering from their recent falls. Yet expenditure by British households was falling sharply. For three consecutive months retail sales fell in value, with retailers such as Marks…arrow_forwardConsider a simple economy that produces only three goods. Assume that all goods produced are consumed in same period (no inventories). Following table provides information on price and quantity produced and consumed of each of three goods: 2021 2021 2022 2022 Price Quantity Price Quantity Good 1 25 25 40 33 Good 2 45 45 60 35 Good 3 80 50 90 45 Calculate nominal and real GDP for both years using 2021 as the base year. Then calculate inflation rate derived from the GDP deflator and real GDP growth between 2021 and 2022. Calculate Consumer Price Index (CPI) for each year using share of consumption of each product in 2021 as a weight. Then find CPI inflation rate between 2021 and 2022. Is this inflation rate different from GDP deflator inflation rate? Discuss reasons for differences, if any. True, false or uncertain? Above results show that GDP deflator is worse than CPI for measuring changes in average prices in economy. Commentarrow_forward

Suppose that annual output in year 1 in a 3-good economy is 3 quarts of ice cream, 1 bottle of shampoo, and 3 jars of peanut butter. In year 2, the output mix changes to 5 quarts of ice cream, 2 bottles of shampoo, and 2 jars of peanut butter. If the prices in both years are $4 per quart for ice cream, $3 per bottle of shampoo, and $2 per jar of peanut butter, what was the economy’s nominal GDP in year 1? Show the calculation. Year one (3*$4)+(1*$3)=$12+$3+$6=$21 Recall that GDP is the core measure of an economy's health. Nominal GDP (also known as current–dollar economic statistics) is not adjusted to account for any price changes. To calculate nominal GDP (the value of all final goods and services evaluated at current-year prices) you have to use the formula: Nominal GDP= P*Q. To get a real picture of a nation's economic growth economists prefer using real GDP. To calculate real…arrow_forward
- Assume that a farmer rents a 20-acre farm in the White Creek Valley. During the current year, the farmer produces 100,000 bushels of wheat that he sells to a miller for $300,000 using various farming equipment. The farmer had to borrow from the bank to buy the farming equipment and pays $50,000 interest. Finally, the labor costs are $200,000 and the rent he pays to the owner of the land is $30,000. The miller produces and sells to “Bang Bakery” in Newark 1,000 lbs of flour worth $600,000. The flour is produced in a $100,000 mill in Hockessin; no rent is paid, the wage bill is $180,000 and interest payments are $70,000. Finally, “Bang Bakery” makes and sells bread to the Newark consumers for $1,000,000. The rent for their factory and their stores is $100,000 – their interest payments are $50,000 - their wage bill, $300,000. It was not a good year for “Bang Bakery.” Calculate the contribution to GDP of these transactions using three different methods: The value added approach Value…arrow_forwardWhen deciding how much of your income to save for retirement, should you consider the real or the nominal interest rate that your savings will earn?
