Assume an economy with a coal producer, a steel producer, and some consumers. (There is no government.) In a given year, the coal producer produces 35 million tonnes of coal and sells it for $5 per tonne. The coal producer pays $80 million in wages to consumers. The steel producer uses 55 million tonnes of coal as an input into steel production, all purchased at $5 per tonne. Of this, 35 million tonnes of coal comes from the domestic coal producer, and 20 million tonnes is imported. The steel producer produces 14 million tonnes of steel and sells it for $40 per tonne. Domestic consumers buy 12 million tonnes of steel, and 2 million tonnes are exported. The steel producer pays consumers $70 million in wages. All profits made by domestic producers are distributed to domestic consumers. a. Determine GDP using (i) the product approach, (ii) the expenditure approach, and (iii) the income approach. (i) Using the product approach, the value added by the coal producer is $ million, the value added by the steel producer is $ million, and GDP in this economy is million.

Consider an economy with a corn producer, some consumers, and a government. In a given year, the corn producer grows 30 million bushels of corn and the market price for corn is $5 per bushel. Of the 30 million bushels produced, 20 million are sold to consumers, 5 million are stored in inventory, and 5 million are sold to the government to feed the army. The corn producer pays $60 million in wages to consumers and $20 million in taxes to the government. Consumers pay $10 million in taxes to the government, receive $10 million in interest on the government debt, and receive $5 million in Social Security payments from the government. The profits of the corn producer are distributed to consumers.(a) Calculate GDP using (i) the product approach, (ii) the expenditure approach, and (iii) the income approach.(b) Calculate private disposable income, private sector saving, government saving, national saving, and the government deficit. Is the government budget in deficit or surplus? Explain your…
You Answered Suppose that the economy is made up of a single firm, which pays $300rin interest payments, pays $300 in its labour costs, and pays $2,000 in rental costs for its building. The rest of its revenues are paid out to the owners of this firm. Correct Answer This firm also produces $10,000 of its final product, selling $7,000 to domestic consumers, keeping $2,000 to replenish its inventories, and selling the rest abroad. In this little economy, using the Income Approach, what is the total amount of Business Profits? Note: Round your answers to two decimal places. 8,700 9.400 margin of error +/-0.1
Assume an economy with a coal producer, a steel producer, and some consumers. (There is no government.) In a given year, the coal producer produces 15 million tonnes of coal and sells it for $6 per tonne. The coal producer pays $70 million in wages to consumers. The steel producer uses 45 million tonnes of coal as an input into steel production, all purchased at $6 per tonne. Of this, 15 million tonnes of coal comes from the domestic coal producer, and 30 million tonnes is imported. The steel producer produces 20 million tonnes of steel and sells it for $35 per tonne. Domestic consumers buy 16 million tonnes of steel, and 4 million tonnes are exported. The steel producer pays consumers $40 million in wages. All profits made by domestic producers are distributed to domestic consumers. a. Determine GDP using (i) the product approach, (ii) the expenditure approach, and (iii) the income approach. (i) Using the product approach, the value added by the coal producer is $ million, the value…
Consider an economy that produces wood, boats, and has a marketing agency. This year domestic wood production generates revenues of $80. Of this $80 worth of wood, $40 were purchased by the boat producer and $40 were sold abroad to a foreign company. The wood producer paid $40 worth of wages and $10 worth of taxes. The boat producer combines the services of the marketing agency, the wood it purchased from the wood producer, and $20 worth of labor (wages) to produce $120 worth of boats. Its revenues, which include a boat produced in the previous year and that was carried as inventory, are $130. Domestic families buy all these boats. This company pays $10 worth of taxes. The marketing agency, whose sole client is the boat company, generates a revenue of $40 which is enough to cover its labor costs of $40. This company pays no taxes. The government in this economy uses the $20 worth of taxes and builds a port. The cost of the port is $40 that are paid to workers. This port is partially…
In 2013, Adanac produced 20 kilos of apples and 30 kilos of bananas. Both fruits were used exclusively for final consumption and nothing else was produced. In 2013, a kilo of apples sold for $7 while a kilo of bananas sold for $10. In 2014, Adanac produced only 10 kilos of apples but produced 45 kilos of bananas. In 2014, prices were $8 per kilo of apples and $8 per kilo of bananas. Using 2013 prices, economists estimate that potential GDP is $700 in 2014 The output gap in 2014 is OA. $180. OB. $360. O C. -$360. OD. -$180. Et
