We have obtained the following information about Real GDP in the U.S. economy from 1973:01 through 1975:Q++Data has been provided by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA): Real GDP (billions of chained 2012 $) $5,646.3 $5,707.8 $5,677.7 $5,731.6 $5,682.4 $5,695.9 $5,642.0 $5,620.1 $5,551.7 $5,591.4 $5,687.1 $5,763.7 Year 1973 1974 1975 Quarter Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 A. Create a graph of the above Real GDP data and label the phases of the Business Cycle (Peak, Trough, Recession, Recovery/Expansion). B. In what quarter did the U.S. economy reach a business cycle peak? C. In what quarter did the U.S. economy reach the trough of the business cycle? D. What was the percent decline in Real GDP from the business cycle peak to the trough? RGDP trough - RGDP peak Hint: Economic Growth Rate = x 100 RGDP peak
2. Question 2: Suppose that you estimate a model of the aggregate annual retail sales of new cars that specifies that sales of new cars are a function of real disposable income, the average retail price of a car adjusted by the consumer price index, and the number of sports utility vehicles sold (you decide to add this independent variable to take account of the fact that some potential new car buyers purchase sports utility vehicles instead). You use the data (annual from 2000 to 2014) and obtain the following estimated regression equation: CARS, = 1.32 + 4.91Y D; + 0.0012 PRICE, - 7.14 SUV (2.39) (0.00045) (71.40) 1 where CARS = new car sales (in hundreds of thousands of units) in year t, YD; = real disposable income (in hundreds of billions of dollars), PRICE = the average real price of a new car in yeart (in dollars), SUV = the number of sports utility vehicles sold in year t (in millions). You expect the variable YD to have a positive coefficient and the variables PRICE and SUV to…
Suppose that the economy is summarized by the following: Technology (Production Function): Yt = 10 (Kt)0.3 (Lte)0.7 Consumption function: Ct = 0.8Yt Depreciation rate: 8% (i.e. δ= 0.08) Population growth: 2% (i.e. n = 0.02) Technological growth: 4% (i.e. g = 0.04) QUESTIONS: Find the steady state (long run) equilibrium values of kte, yet, and cet. Show graphically what would be the effect of a increase of the saving rate to s=0.4? Show graphically what would be the effect of an increase in population growth to 0.04? Assuming that in 2013 the US economy is in the steady state and L2013 = Le2013 = 8, what is the value of ke2014, ye2014, ce2014 , k2014, y2014, and c2014 ? Use your answer to e) to calculate the growth rate of ket, yet, cet , kt, yt, and ct Based on your answers to the previous questions and on your knowledge of how the Solow growth model works, explain what policies should a less-developed country pursue to raise its level of income in the long-run?…
Economics a) Discuss the determinants of aggregate consumption and aggregate investment. Base onhistorical Australian data, which tends to fluctuate more – investment or consumption? You must also answer why it does this, Data must be sourced. (500 Word count) b) Suppose bad economic stats led investors to be more negative about futureprospects on earnings on investment projects. With the help of diagrams, review theimpact of this change on aggregate consumption and income. Word limit 600
Consider the following data for a particular economy:GDPmp = 950Private consumption = 750Gross investment = 100Net investment = 80Exports = 250Imports = 300Net Indirect taxes = 50Net external income = 100Balance of transfers with the Rest of the World = 50Private savings = 300Calculate:a) NNPbp (Net National Product). b) Current balance. Interpret the result obtained.
Fluctuation of savings and investment rates impact on GDP of any macroeconomics. Comment with the help of example and graphically as wel

This question requires you to solve a macro model algebraically. Reading the appendix to this chapter will help you to answer this question. But, just in case, we lead you through it step by step. The equations for the model are as follows: i) C = c + MPC × YD consumption ii) I = I0 investment iii) G = G0 government purchases iv) T = tY net tax revenue v) X = X0 exports vi) IM = mY imports a. Step 1: Recall that Y D = Y – T. By using this fact, substitute the tax function into the consumption function and derive the relationship between desired consumption and national income. b. Step 2: Sum the four components of desired aggregate expenditure ( C, I, G, NX). This is the aggregate expenditure ( AE) function. Collect the autonomous terms separately from the induced terms. c. Step 3: Recall the equilibrium condition, Y = AE. Form the equation Y = AE, where AE is your expression for the AE function from part (b). (Your autonomous terms can be collectively labelled A and the terms that…
A media company wants to know how much consumers spend in a closed economy. The answer is not readily available, but we know the following: Consumption: C = 50 + 0.6(Y - T) • Investment: 1 = 40-500 i • Taxes: T = 2C . Government spending: G = 20 where Y is GDP and i is the interest rate. At the time of the analysis, the central bank made sure that the interest rate. was 4% What is the level of consumption C? Select one: a 155 b. 170 c. 195 d. 220
Given the scatter diagram in Figure 8-1, what is the MPC (your best estimate)? a. 1 b. 2/3 c. 1/2 d. 1/3 I know the answer of this question answer is 2/3 but can you please give the explanation how 2/3 is the answer of the problem
