Ross has a summer beach cottage that he has owned for many years. The cottage is valued at $75,000. This year, Ross spends $300 on paint and $575 on trees, and then paints the exterior of the cottage and plants the trees himself. If he had hired a professional painter, it would have cost $1,250 to paint the cottage (not
including the cost of paint), and if he had hired a professional landscaper, it would have cost $450 (not including the cost of the trees) to do the planting.
How much does Ross's improvements to the cottage add to GDP this year?
The increase in GDP would be $
Suppose that in Year 1 an economy produces 100 golf balls that sell for $3 each and 75 pizzas that sell
for $8 each. The following year, the economy produces 110 golf balls that sell for $3.25 each and 80
pizzas that sell for $9 each. If Year 1 is the base year, the value of the money in Year 2 is:
$0.74
$1.00
$0.90

What Are Real Yields, and Why Do They Matter?
Summary: Now that inflation has subsided somewhat, the market is experiencing
favorable real rates. Positive real rates are good for savers, but potentially
problematic for the equity markets. Real rates, the difference between on-the-run
treasuries and inflation (most recently auctioned bond), in June 2022 was -6.16
(2.94 - 9.1). This meant that savers were earning a negative yield on their fixed-
income investments. Today, real rates are the highest they have been since 2009.
A welcome change especially for retirees living on a fixed income. However, that
assumes that retirees have rotated their investments into fixed income. Since the
rates on bonds were so low, retirees were forced to invest in riskier assets like
common stock to get a return that kept up with inflation. As higher rates entice
more and more investors to sell their riskier assets, those retirees who have not
rotated their assets back into fixed income could lose…

A saver would lose 9% real interest. A saver would neither gain nor lose real interest. A saver would earn 12% real interest. A saver would earn 2.4% real interest.arrow_forwardScenario 1: Suppose savers either buy bonds or make deposits in savings accounts at banks. Initially, the interest income earned on bonds or deposits is taxed at a rate of 20%. Now suppose there is an increase in the tax rate on interest income, from 20% to 25%. Shift the appropriate curve on the graph to reflect this change. This change in the tax treatment of interest income from saving causes the equilibrium interest rate in the market for loanable funds to(fall,rise) and the level of investment spending to(decrease,increase) .arrow_forwardScenario 1: Suppose savers either buy bonds or make deposits in savings accounts at banks.
