Monica grows coconuts and catches fish. Last year she harvested 1500 coconuts and 600 fish. She values one fish as having a worth of three coconuts. She gave Rachel 300 coconuts and 100 fish for helping her to harvest coconuts and catch fish, all of which were consumed by Rachel. Monica set aside 200 fish to help with next year's harvest. In terms of fish, consumption would equal 700 fish 900 fish 1100 fish 2700 fish

Question 3 2/2 pts The economy of country A has two sectors: wheat-growing, and flour- making. In 2015, the wheat growers paid their workers a total of $300 and produced a total of 500 kg of wheat. They sold 100kg directly to consumers, and 400 kg to the flour mills. The selling price for 1 kg of wheat was $1.5. The same year, flour producing firms paid their workers $350. They produced 350kg of flour: 300kg were sold on the local market, and 50kg were shipped abroad as exports. The selling price for 1 kg of flour is $4. Compute the GDP for country A in 2015 1,550 Incorrect Question 4 0/ 2 pts In 2016, country A faced unfavorable weather conditions. Wheat production decreased to 450kg. Wheat-growers continued to sell 100kg to consumers, but could only sell 350kg to flour mills. To maintain production, flour mills imported 50kg of wheat from abroad, and maintained their production and sales unchanged. Prices did not move between 2015 and 2016. What is the GDP for 2016? 1,675
Assume an economy where there are two producers: a wheat producer and a bread producer. In agiven year, the wheat producer grows 3 million tonnes of wheat, of which 2.5 million tonnes aresold to the bread producer at $30 per bushel, and 0.5 million tonnes are stored by the wheatproducer to use as seed for next years crop. The bread producer produces and sells 100 millionloaves of bread to consumers for $3.50 per loaf. Determine GDP in this economy during this yearusing the product and expenditure approaches.

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.
