Suppose that in 1984 the total output in a single-good economy was 10,000 buckets of chicken. Also assume that in 1984 each bucket of chicken was priced at $16. Finally, assume that in 2005 the price per bucket of chicken was $20 and that 22,000 buckets were produced. Instructions: In part a, enter your answer as an index number rounded to 1 decimal place. In parts b-c, enter your answers as whole numbers. a. What is the GDP price index for 1984, using 2005 as the base year? b. By what percentage did the price level, as measured by this index, rise between 1984 and 2005? percent c. What were the amounts of real GDP in 1984 and 2005? In 1984, real GDP = In 2005, real GDP =

12. Suppose an economy represented by the graph below started with K = 25, so it was in a steady state, but then disaster struck and most of the capital was destroyed. (Assume that no people were hurt so the labor force is the same size.) dK 25 K After the disaster would we expect the economy to grow or shrink? a. grow, I> dK b. grow, I dK d. shrink, I< dK
Question 05: Benjamin Franklin coined the phrase "Time is Money", and spelt out the associated opportunity cost reasoning in his "Advice to a Young Tradesman" (1746): "Remember that Time is Money. He that can earn Ten Shillings a Day by his Labour, and goes abroad, or sits idle one half of that Day, tho' he spends but Sixpence during his Diversion or Idleness, ought not to reckon That the only Expence; he has really spent or rather thrown away besides." Shillings Fill in the blank of the number of Shillings in the above quote. Hint: think of shillings as dollars and sixpence as "pocket change" - what happens if you decide to take the afternoon off from work? A) ten shillings in lost wages B) twenty shillings in lost wages C) one shillings in lost wages D) five shillings in lost wages

Consider the macroeconomics process/perspective. 1). Do you think it helps the economy to implement macroeconomic theories, ideas? Why? Why not? 2). Do you think that the macroeconomic theories and ideas are relevant to you? why? why not? 3). Do you think that macroeconomic ideas produce an economy that is more unequal across citizens? Why? Why not? 4). Do you think macroeconomic theories and ideas are too old fashioned for our current economy? Why? Why not?

2. Over the past few years, one of the most closely monitored economic variables has been the inflation rate, which measures the change in the price level. Measuring it is complicated because different prices change by different amounts and sometimes in different directions (for example, the price of college tuition has been steadily rising for decades, whereas the price of TV sets has been decreasing). We can use the expenditure function to aggregate the change in the price level, by asking how much more it costs to achieve the same utility level under the new prices. That is, if the prices change from (P₁, P₂) to (P₁, P₂), where p₁ > p₁ and pź > P₂, we can define the inflation rate as: b. i 1 1 Suppose Bebel has a Cobb-Douglas utility, U = 9₁²9₂², and an income level of Y = 1600. Suppose p₁ = 100 and p = 100 so the price of good 1 doesn't change, but the price of good 2 increases from p₂ = 16 to p2 = 25. a. Calculate Bebel's optimal consumption bundle and utility level at the initial…

1. Consider a simple example economy where there are three companies. Gelato Inc. is an Italian company that produces ice cream; it is located in St. Louis but owned by an Italian chemist who sends from time to time secret formulas for new flavors. Milky Way is a milk producer in the St. Louis area. Finally, Sweetyou is a sugar producer, also located in St. Louis. In 2019, Gelato Inc. produced and sold to consumers $500 worth of ice cream, using $50 of sugar and $100 of milk. It also paid $150 in wages and $50 in taxes. Milky Way produced $200 worth of milk. It sold $100 to Gelato Inc. and $100 to the consumers. It paid $100 in wages, $20 in interests on a previous loan, and $30 in taxes. Sweetyou produced $200 worth of sugar, of which $50 was sold to Gelato Inc., $100 was exported to France, and the remaining was unsold. Sweetyou paid wages for $100 and $40 in taxes. The government in this St. Louis based economy provides public services for which it employs labor and basic income for…
