5. Briefly explain whether you agree or disagree with the following statement: "Real GDP
is currently $17.2 trillion, and potential GDP is $17.4 trillion. If the president would like
to increase the government purchases by $200 billion or cut taxes by $200 billion, the
economy could be brought to equilibrium at potential GDP."
6. In 2012, an executive at Honda Motor Company announced that the firm would be
moving more of its car production from Japan to the United States. A newspaper article
stated: "The move, driven by the strength of the Japanese yen, will also result in Honda
significantly reduce the number of vehicles it imports into North America from plants in
Japan."
a. What does the article mean by the strength of the Japanese yen?
b.
Why would a strong yen case Honda to produce more cars in the United States and
fewer cars in Japan?

Deriving and exploring the total expenditures curve The
following graph shows total production (TP) and the
level of Natural Real GDP (NRGDP) for a hypothetical
economy. When Real GDP is $350 billion, consumption
is $300 billion, government purchases are $25 billion,
and investment is $50 billion. When Real GDP is $400
billion, consumption is $325 billion, government
purchases are $25 billion, and investment is $50 billion.
Use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot the economy's
total expenditure function within a simplified Keynesian
framework. (?) The economy is in equilibrium when
Real GDP is? [$425 billion, $400 billion, $350 billion, or
$375 billion] At this point, the economy is also in? [Says
Paradox, a recessionary gap, or an inflationary gap]
which of the following did Keynes argue would be
needed to move the economy to the equilibrium at
Natural Real GPD? Check all that apply. - An increase
in investment A decrease in government purchases -
A decrease in consumption - An…
Which of the following correctly describes how a decrease in the price level affects consumption spending?
Select one:
a. A decrease in the price level raises real wealth, which causes consumption to increase.
b. A decrease in the price level decreases the amount of money a household needs to buy goods and so raises the interest rate, which causes consumption to increase.
c. A decrease in the price level increases the amount of money a household needs to buy goods and so raises the interest rate, which causes consumption to increase.
d. A decrease in the price level lowers real wealth, which causes consumption to decrease.
