Suppose Ghana’s economy is described by the following equations: **Economic Analysis of Ghana's Market Conditions**### Given Identities and Functions- $ Y = C + I + G + NX $ *(Income Identity)*- $ Y = 6,000 $ *(Income)*- $ G = 1,200 $ *(Government expenditure)*- $ T = 1,000 $ *(Tax)*- $ C = 250 + 0.75(Y - T) $ *(Consumption expenditure function)*- $ I = 1,000 - 100r $ *(Investment function)*- $ NX = 400 - 400e $ *(Net exports function)*- $ r = r^* = 5 $ *(Interest rate)*### Tasks#### (a) Solve for:**(i) The National Saving****(ii) The Trade Balance****(iii) The Equilibrium Exchange Rate****(iv) Based on your answer in (iii) would you describe Ghana as a net borrower or a net lender and why?**#### (b) Clearly explain the effect on investment and trade balance in a small open economy like Ghana if most foreign governments decide to embark on fiscal expansion.#### (c) With the aid of a diagram, explain the effect on saving and trade balance in a small economy like Ghana if the government embarks on fiscal expansion.#### (d) Analyse the effect on interest rate, investment, and trade balance in a small open economy like Ghana if foreign governments in North America, Australia, Asia, and the European Union (EU) embark on expansionary fiscal policy.### Detailed Explanation of Given Functions and Variables1. **Income Identity (Y = C + I + G + NX)**: - This equation represents the aggregate demand (AD) in an open economy where: - $ Y $ is the national income or Gross Domestic Product (GDP). - $ C $ is the consumption expenditure. - $ I $ is the investment expenditure. - $ G $ is the government expenditure. - $ NX $ is the net exports (exports minus imports).2. **Consumption Expenditure Function ($ C = 250 + 0.75(Y - T) $**): - This function indicates the relationship between consumption and income. - $ 250 $ is the autonomous consumption. - $ 0.75 $ is the marginal

To answer Questions #1 through #4 use the following information: Suppose that in the nation state of Raleighville there are 2 final goods produced in the economy - dog food and kitten chow. Suppose the economy produces 15 units of dog food and 5 units of kitten chow in 2000 (the base year), and 20 units of dog food and 10 units of kitten chow in 2020. Further suppose the price of dog food was $1.00 per unit in 2000, and $3.00 per unit in 2020; whereas the price of kitten chow was $1.00 in 2000 and $2.50 in 2020. What was the real GDP for Raleighville in 2000? O a. $20.00 O b. $30.00 O c. $57.50 O d. $85.00 Next page
Which of the following indicators is used to measure the overall level of prices for goods and services in an economy over a period of time? Options: A) Gross Domestic Product (GDP) B) Consumer Price Index ( CPI) C) Unemployment rate D) Balance of trade
For years 2019 and 2020, we know the following about a country: Average price Real GDP Nominal GDP 2019 50 1'000'000 1'200'000 2020 55 1'100'000 ? The average price information consists of the average price for goods and services produced in the country. What is the missing value in the table? Answer:

When the pandemic hit in the beginning of 2020, everything came to a halt. In a single month, 17 million Americans lost their job, and the gross domestic product (GDP), which is how economists measure the total value of a country's products and services, declined by US$2.15tn (£1.55tn). Economists were hopeful that across the world government spending and monetary policy would keep the economy from totally collapsing. During the first wave of lockdowns and stay-at-home orders since December 2019, it was clear that industries that relied on in-person customers - like travel and some retail - were going to struggle, while others would more easily adapt to the "new normal". Tech-heavy companies that delivered products or services to people's homes—like Amazon, Netflix, and Shopify—thrived. To improve the impact of the pandemic, most countries adopted an expansionary monetary policy. The change in the real interest rate influenced the goods market. Aggregate demand changed but there was no…
In the ruins of an ancient Mesopotamian civilization, Dr. Jones has found what appears to be a partially intact government records about economic activity in the kingdom. From the recovered tablets, he learned that GDP was 12 billion, private consumption was 9.5 billion,transfers to poor were 1.5 billion, private investments were at 2.1 billion, government purchased goods and services in the amount of 1.7 billion and collect 3 million in taxes. Assuming the data are correct, what can you say about(a) net exports, (b) private savings, and (c) public savings. What do the numbers in (a), (b), and (c) mean?
There are two economies: Mexico and the United States. On year 1, the Mexican economy produced $3000 billion dollars worth of goods and services. In that same year the U.S. economy produced $16,000 billion dollars of goods and services. From year 1 to year 2 the Mexican economy grew at 6% and the U.S. economy grew at 2.5%. This means that in year 2 the Mexican economy produced $ than it did in year 1, and that the U.S. economy produced $ and services more than it did in year 1. Fill in the correct numbers in the correct sequence from the choices below. 1.800; 4,000 18.000; 40,000 The answer is different from the other answers provided. 18:40 180; 400 billion more billion in goods
