5. Using money creation to pay for government spending Consider Arcadia, a hypothetical country that produces only crab cakes. In 2019, a crab cake is priced at $8.00. Complete the first row of the table with the quantity of crab cakes that can be bought with $900. Hint: In this problem, assume it is not possible to buy a fraction of a crab cake, and always round down to the nearest whole crab cake. For example, if your calculations result in 1.5 crab cakes, the answer should be 1 crab cake. Year 2019 2020 Price of a Crab cake Crab cakes Bought with $900 (Dollars) (Quantity) 8.00 112 86 10.40 Suppose the government of Arcadia cannot raise sufficient tax revenue to pay its debts. In order to meet its debt obligations, the government prints money. As a result, the money supply rises by 30% by 2020. Assuming monetary neutrality holds, complete the second row of the table with the new price of a crab cake and the new quantity of crab cakes that can be bought with $900 in 2020. The impact of the government's decision to raise revenue by printing money on the value of money is known as the inflation tax

Homework 8 Spring 2024: 1. Complete the table below Quantity TCC TVC TC MC AVC ATC 01234561 12 0 -- -- -- 12 20 12 12 46 16 12 20 12 20 12 22 7 12 24 8 12 26 9 12 28 10 12 30 11 12 32 12 12 34 2. Using the table above, create a graph with Quantity on the horizontal axis and dollars on the vertical axis showing the curves for MC, AVC, and ATC. Make 3 copies of this graph for use in problems 3, 4, and 3. Suppose that the firm is a price taking firm competing in a market where the equilibrium price of the product is $18 per unit. Using one of the graphs you copied from question 2, draw in the firm's marginal revenue, average revenue, and market price line. Assuming the firm produces the quantity where MR=MC, designate rectangles for: total revenue, total cost, and total variable cost. Explain, in terms of the relative sizes of the total revenue and total variable cost rectangles, why the firm should continue to operate in the short-run. Designate on the graph the area that represents the…
e) Suppose a tariff allowed an industry to create 200,000 jobs paying an average of $22,500 per year. Before the tariff consumers bought 3 billion units (60% imported) at a price of $30. After the tariff they bought 2.75 billion units (none imported) at a price of $36. How much did total consumer spending on the good increase and how much per new job?
please only do: if you can teach explain each What does it mean?there is no quantity of wine that he can convert to grapes. Thus, for example, if he purchases 4 units of grapes and 3 units of wine, he could consume any bundle (4-s, 3+ s) why the s ? What does mean? with s € [0,4] how to know what to look at: If p₁ < p2 or p1 ≥ p2, why these? Please how to solve: x(p, w) = (2w/3p1, w/3p1) (2w/3p1, w/3p2)
Also calculate monthly budget. Thanks!
Suppose the following transactions occur during the current year: 1. Darnell orders 50 bottles of wine from a French distributor at a price of $30 per bottle. 2. A U.S. company sells 300 spark plugs to a Korean company at $5.00 per spark plug. 3. Jacques, a U.S. citizen, pays $670 for a skateboard he orders from Wally's (a U.S. company). Complete the following table by indicating how the combined effects of these transactions will be reflected in the U.S. national accounts for the current year. Hint: Be sure to enter a "0" if none of the transactions listed are included in a given category and to enter a minus sign when the balance is negative.

Ronald is an Economics students who likes to spend his leisure time of sixty hours a month doingone of two activities: watching movies at Dendy Cinemas Newtown (x), and indoor-climbing(y). A trip to the movies takes 3 hours, and each visit to the climbing gym lasts 5 hours.Further, suppose that Ronald has a fixed monthly monetary budget to spend on leisure activities. He currently exhausts this entire budget by watching two movies and visiting the climbinggym fifteen times. With this monthly budget, he would also have been able to afford exactlyseven movies and six visits to the climbing gym.Assume that both goods are perfectly divisible.(b) Show, using algebra, that Ronald’s two budget lines intersect at the bundle (x, y) =(5.5, 8.7).
4. Graph the budget line for each of the following circumstances. a. Consider Bobby's choice between watching movies on Netflix and all other consumption goods. Movies cost $5 to watch on Netflix. Bobby has cash income of $60 and a $20 Netflix gift card, which cannot be resold and must be used entirely during the current period. (Graph movies vs. money spent on all other goods here.) b. Monica purchases food and clothes and works at a clothing store. Her income is $300, the price of food is $10, and the price of clothes is $50. Monica receives an employee discount of the following form: She gets 50% off the price of all clothes items after purchasing 2 at the regular price.

3. Based on each scenario in this question, indicate whether the following statements is true or false, and briefly explain your reasoning. You may also want to use a graph in your explanation if you think it's necessary. a) Mike makes $500 per week and spends all her income on books and tea. Books cost $25 each, and Mike buys 16 each week. Tea costs $5 per cup, and Mike buys 20 cups. When Mike's income falls to $450 per week, he cuts his consumption of books by 3 books and purchases 5 more cups of tea. Based on Mike's consumption behaviors, books are an inferior good and Tea is a normal good. b) Lucy consumes food and clothing. For incomes near her current income, her income expansion path is negatively sloped. Assume that food is measured along the horizontal axis and clothing is measured along the vertical axis. Therefore, at current income levels, both food and clothing must be inferior good. c) For any normal goods, the income and substitution effects work in the same direction.…
Imagine two goods, x and y, with a given budget of 10 pesos. Prices of good x and y are P2 and P3 respectively. Suppose the price of good x increase by P2. What happened to the consumer’s utility? Select one: a. Budget line will pivot to the right and consumption of good x will decline b. Budget line will shift to the right and consumption of good x will decline c. Budget line will shift to the left and consumption of good x will decline d. Budget line will pivot to the left and consumption of good x will decline
