Wenatchee is a town on a large river. On the other side of the river is East Wenatchee (since the river is the county line, these are in two different counties and thus, two different cities.) Wenatchee (which I refuse to call "West Wenatchee") is pretty much hemmed in on all sides by mountains. East Wenatchee, on the other hand, sits on a large plateau surrounded by wheat fields. Assume that housing in Wenatchee and housing in East Wenatchee are what economists call "perfect substitutes." This means basically that people don't care whether they live in Wenatchee or East Wenatchee. Then imagine that in the nearest big city there is a pandemic followed by a bunch of riots. Part of the town is taken over by Marxists revolutionaries. The city starts dismantling the police and raising taxes because they have no money. (Just try to imagine it!) and this causes a lot of people to decide it would be nice to live in a smaller town on the other side of the mountains. Which will grow…

Suppose that Verania and Josimar are roommates that need to complete some household chores. Vacuuming and washing dishes need to be done. They know from the last time they did these chores that it takes Verania 2 hours to vacuum and 1 hour to wash dishes. It takes Josimar 3 hours to vacuum and 2 hours to wash dishes. Josimar says it does not matter which task each of them performs because Verania is faster at both tasks. Josimar’s reasoning a. is wrong. Because Verania has a comparative advantage in washing dishes, she should wash dishes, and Josimar should vacuum. b. is correct. Because Verania is faster at both tasks, there is no benefit in each volunteer specializing in one task or the other. c. is wrong. Because Verania has an absolute advantage in both tasks, she should perform both tasks herself. d. is wrong. Because Josimar has a comparative advantage in washing dishes, he should wash dishes, and Verania should vacuum.

In a hypothetical economy, coal is sold to electricity producers at a rate of 100 cents per kW (i.e. the amount of electricity the coal can produce). Electricity is produced by power producers and sold to distributors at a rate of 150 cents per kW. These distributors then well the electricity to final consumers at a rate of 200 cents per kW. There were 50 million kW were produced in 2021. Assuming no other good was produced in this economy it can be concluded in 2021 that: a) The GDP in this economy according to the production method is R 50 million b) The GDP in this economy according to the expenditure method is R 200 million c) The GDP in this economy according to the value added method is R 50 million d) The GDP in this economy according to the value added method is R 100 million
An economy produces three goods: organ, apple and organ juice. It is assumed that half of the organ are bought and consumed as final good; the other half is used to produce organ juice. In 2019, 20 KGs of organ are produced at Rs.50/kg, 40 KGs of apple are produced at 100/kg, and 25 Glasses of organ juice are produced at Rs.200/glass. In 2020, 40 KGs of organ are produced at Rs.80/kg, 60 KGs of apple are produced at 110/kg, and 30 glasses of organ juice are produced at Rs.195/glass. Find the following: Assuming 2019 is the base year; calculate the real and nominal GDP in 2019 and 2020
