1.1 Consider an economy that produces and consumes bread and automobiles. The following table contains data for two different years: Year 2000 S40,000 Year 2010 $50,000 Price of an automobile Price of a loaf of bread S1.50 $2.50 Number of automobiles produced Number of loaves of bread produced 100 120 5,000,000 4,000,000 Using the year 2000 as the base year, compute the following statistics for each year: nominal GDP, real GDP, the implicit price deflator for GDP, and a fixed-weight price index such as the CPI. 1.2 List and explain (one or two sentences each) the differences between the CPI Index and the GDP Deflator. Which do you believe is a better measure of actual inflation in the U.S? Why?

Attempts 3. A decision at the margin Yvette is a hard working fourth-year university student. One Tuesday, she decides to work nonstop until she has answered 200 practice problems for her math course. She starts work at 8:00 AM and uses a table to keep track of her progress throughout the day. She notices that as she gets tired, it takes her longer to solve each problem.

Question 19 Lot's say you run a simulation and figure out that your sample bs one of the likely sampies that could have come from a DGP of 0. What would that mean? • A That is a good sign. Our model is good and probably explains a lot of variation. • B This is a bad sign for our model because a DGP of 0 means there is no relationship between the explanatory and outcome variable. • C This does not mean anything for our model. We have to run supernova to find out about how good our model is. • Dit depends on what our b Type Markdown and LaTeX: a Question 20 14 MacBook Pro
Each term (3 months) the current group of economics students completed a questionnaire as to how much they would spend on new purchases compared to how much they would save/pay off bills, if they suddenly and unexpectedly received a check for $1,000. The average MPC is shown in the table below. Month in which student poll was taken Average of students’ responses as MPC March 0.41 June 0.30 September 0.22 December 0.56 What do these MPC’s imply about the students’ thinking over the course of the year? (Enter response here.) What is likely happening in the economy during the same period of time?
Greenhouse gases trap heat and make the planet warmer. Human activities are responsible for almost all of the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere over the last 150 years. In this part, you will draw two pie graphs. A pie graph is used to show how a certain quantity has been divided into several parts, as well as to show the comparisons among these parts. 1. The data table below shows the total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by economic sector in 2013, in million metric tons of CO2. On the pie graph provided, complete the graph to show the percent of greenhouse gas emissions for each economic sector. Label each section of the pie graph with its economic sector. The percent for "Agriculture" has been drawn and labeled for you. Economic Sector Electricity Transportation Industry Commercial & Residential Agriculture Percent of Greenhouse Gas Emissions 31 27 21 12 9 80 75 70- 85 65 95 90 wlad Percent 0 100 Agri- culture 55 50 45 10 40 35 20 25 30
