QUESTION 6 Price of Beni's house increased from S100,000 to $200,000 in the last decade. Cost of living quadrupled (increased 4 times as much). What can you say about Beni's house? O The house is cheaper now, because if it had appreciated at the same rate as all other goods as services, it should have been 4 times more ($400,000) but it is $200,000 instead. Nominal price has inereased but also nominal prices of other goods have increased. So, the price costs the same. The house is more expensive now, comparing $200,000 to $100,000 We do not have enough information to compare prices across time.
For the following problems, SHOW YOUR WORK and round to one decimal point. If you struggle with the math, still try to intuitively and graphically answer C and D. Consider an economy with the following data: C(Y-T) 125+0.75(Y-T) 1=2 00-10r G is the level of government purchases, T = 100 MS-800 and the price level is P MD-P(0.8Y-16(r + m²)) Please note the simplified consumption and investment functions (ignoring wealth and r effect on C, and Y effect on I). Note also that the initial price level and government purchases are some constant P and G, respectively and assume expected inflation - NX-0. Let the full employment level of output = 1,600. A) Construct the IS curve, simplifying the expression as much as possible, solving for Y. B) The LM curve can be represented as Y = 20 r + 1000/P. Let G-250 and P-1. Solve for the short run equilibrium level of r* and Y. C) Use the space below to illustrate your short run equilibrium in B), including your numerical answers where possible on your…

Consumer price index, based on a problem from “Principles of Economics” byN. Gregory Mankiw Question 3) Wen is a typical consumer. Wen spent a total of $10 on 10 pomegranates, $36 on 3 shawarmas,and $35 on 7 cups of coffee in August. In September, Wen spent a total of $18 on 12 pomegranates, $24on 2 shawarmas, and $42 on 7 cups of coffee. In October, Wen spent a total of $22 on 11 pomegranates,$33 on 3 shawarmas, and $32 on 4 cups of coffee. a) Calculate the price of one unit of each good in each month.b) Using August as base month, calculate the CPI for each month.c) Find the inflation rate for September and October.

Using the table below, (See chapter 5 for price index) Price (per unit) Quantity (basket) 20 pounds Item 2018 (year) 2019 (year) Potato $2 $2.5 Onion 40 pounds $3 $3.1 Apple 30 pounds $1 $1.2 9. Compute the cost of the basket in each year. 10. By assuming the base year is 2018, derive price indexes of 2018 and 2019. 11. Using the price indexes from #10, calculate the inflation rate between 2018 and 2019. 12. Let's assume "nominal income" increased 4% between 2018 and 2019. Approximately how much percentage of "real income" did change between 2018 and 2019?
