Consider an economy consisting of only two companies: Oil Inc. and Electricity Inc. Electricity Inc. buys $400 worth of oil from Oil Inc. and uses it to produce electricity. It is owned by US nationals, its plant is based in the US, and its workers are all US nationals. It receives $1000 in revenue from the sale of electricity to the public (domestic) and has to pay $500 in wages. Oil Inc. is owned by US nationals and it operates two different oil extraction plants, one at home and the other in Saudi Arabia. The domestic plant pays $400 in wages to domestic workers and produces $2000 worth of oil. Out of this production $1600 is sold directly to the public domestically and $400 is sold to Electricity Inc. The foreign plant employs only foreigners. Its total wage bill is $300. It produces $1300 worth of oil out of which $500 is sent back to the US and sold to the public and the remaining $800 is sold in Saudi Arabia. A. The value added by Electricity Inc. is dollars. B. The value added by the domestic arm of Oil Inc. is dollars. C. US GDP is dollars.

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
