Hi, could you help me solve this problem? Desired demand is DD = C +Ip +G+NX, where consumption C = a+b(Y −T), Ip is planned investment, G government consumption and T net taxes. Y denotes domestic output. Net exports are NX = cY f − dY , where Y f is foreign output (output of export countries). Parameters a, b, c, and d are all strictly positive and b > d. In equilibrium, Y = DD. By how many units (e.g. billions of euros) does domestic equilibrium output increase if go- vernment consumption is increased by 1 one unit? (Hint: solve for equilibrium Y as a function of G.) How and why does international trade affect the fiscal multiplier?

According to a news item, the owner of a lottery ticket paying $3 million over 20 years is offering to sell the ticket for $1.2 million cash now. "Who knows?" the ticket owner explained. "We might not even be here in 20 years, and I do not want to leave it to the dinosaurs." Suppose the ticket pays $150,000 per year at the end of each year for the next 20 years, and the appropriate rate for discounting the future income is thought to be 5%. The present value of the ticket is approximately True or False: If the discount rate is in the 5% range, the sale price of $1,401.999 is reasonable (within 10% of the present value of the ticket). Ⓒ True O False
Answer number 1 and number 2: -Puma's "Clever Little Bag" changes the idea of the shoebox by wrapping footwear in a cardboard structure with 65% less cardboard. It uses a bag made of recycled plastic as the outer layer that holds the inner cardboard structure together. Puma expects to cut carbon dioxide emission by 10,000 tons per year and water, energy, and diesel use by 60% by using fewer materials -8,500 fewer tons of paper to be specific - and the new packaging's lighter weight.
