Answer to Problem 1P
When the export increases, the aggregate demand also increases.
Explanation of Solution
When the exports increases, it represents the increase in demand forgoods in the foreign market. Therefore, the increased demand leads to an increase in aggregate demand.
Aggregate demand:
It represents the total goods and services that are demanded at a given point of time. As the

To explain:
The effect on aggregate demand, if both import and export decreases provided other thingsbeing equal.
Answer to Problem 1P
The effect will be intermediate on the aggregate demand, if both the exports and imports decreases.
Explanation of Solution
The aggregate demand increases with an increase in export while it decreases with the increase in import.In this case,both of them are decreasing.Thus, the change will depend upon the export or import whichever is more intense.
Aggregate demand:
It represents the total goods and services that are demanded at a given point of time. As the price level and gross domestic product demand share an inverse relationship, the demand curve slopes downwards when the price becomes high.
(c)
To explain:
The effect on aggregate demand, if consumption decreases provided other thingsbeing equal.
Answer to Problem 1P
The aggregate demand will increase with an increase in consumption.
Explanation of Solution
The aggregate demand will raise with the increase in consumption of goods and services. More will be the consumption of products, more will be the demand.
Aggregate demand:
It represents the total goods and services that are demanded at a given point of time. As the price level and gross domestic product demand share an inverse relationship, the demand curve slopes downwards when the price becomes high.
(d)
To explain:
The effect on aggregate demand, if investment increases provided other things being equal.
Answer to Problem 1P
The increase in investment will increase the aggregate demand.
Explanation of Solution
The aggregate demand will increase with the increase in investment in capital goods. Investment made in new technology, building new infrastructure, purchasing new machines would lead to an increase in the income of the people.Thus, the
Aggregate demand:
It represents the total goods and services that are demanded at a given point of time. As the price level and gross domestic product demand share an inverse relationship, the demand curve slopes downwards when the price becomes high.
(e)
To explain:
The effect on aggregate demand, if investment decreases and government purchase increase provided other thingsbeing equal.
Answer to Problem 1P
If the investment decreases and the government purchase increases, the effect on aggregate demand will be intermediate.
Explanation of Solution
The decrease in investment leads to fall in demand, whereas, the increase in government purchases lead to increase in demand.The change in aggregate demand will depend upon the intensity, accordingly the aggregate demand will shift towards left or right.
Aggregate demand:
It represents the total goods and services that are demanded at a given point of time. As the price level and gross domestic product demand share an inverse relationship, the demand curve slopes downwards when the price becomes high.
(f)
To explain:
The effect on aggregate demand, if the price increases provided other thingsbeing equal.
Answer to Problem 1P
If the price level increases, there will be a decrease in the aggregate demand.
Explanation of Solution
The increase intheprice level will decrease the purchasing power of the consumers. This will lead to fall in the value of currency, decreasing the aggregate demand.
Aggregate demand:
It represents the total goods and services that are demanded at a given point of time. As the price level and gross domestic product demand share an inverse relationship, the demand curve slopes downwards when the price becomes high.
(g)
To explain:
The effect on aggregate demand, if the price level decreases provided other thingsbeing equal.
Answer to Problem 1P
The aggregate demand will increase with a decrease in the price level.
Explanation of Solution
The decrease in the price level increases the purchasing power of the consumers.Thus, it will increase the demand forgoods and services.
Aggregate demand:
It represents the total goods and services that are demanded at a given point of time. As the price level and gross domestic product demand share an inverse relationship, the demand curve slopes downwards when the price becomes high.

- 1. Suppose that the two nations face the following benefits of pollution, B, and costs of abatement, C: BN = 10, Bs = 7; CN = 5, Cs = 4. Further assume that if the nation chooses to abate pollution, it still receives the benefits of pollution but now must pay the cost of abatement as well. a. Identify the payoffs that accrue to each nation under the four different possible outcomes of the game and present these payoffs in the normal form of the game. b. Recall that the term dominant strategy defines the condition that a player in a game would prefer to play that strategy (in this case either pollute or abate) regardless of the strategy chosen by the other player in the game. Does either nation have a dominant strategy in this game? If so, what is it? c. Identify the Nash equilibria, or non-cooperative equilibria, of this game.arrow_forwardagrody calming Inted 001 and me 2. A homeowner is concerned about the various air pollutants (e.g., benzene and methane) released in her house when she cooks with natural gas. She is considering replacing her gas oven and stove with an electric stove comprising an induction cooktop and convection oven. The new appliance costs $900 to purchase and install. Capping the old gas line costs an additional $150 (a one-time fee). The old line must be inspected for leaks each year after capping, at a cost of $35 for each inspection. a. If the homeowner plans to remain in the house for four more years and the discount rate is 4%, what is the minimum present value of the benefits that the homeowner would need to experience for this purchase to be justified based on its private net sub present value? b.

This increases the cost associated with each cup of coffee it produces. Which cost curve(s) will be impacted by the use of the more expensive biodegradable disposable cups? Why? Which cost curve(s) will not shift, and why not? Please use the table below to answer this question. For the second column (“Impacted? If so, how?”), please use one of the following three choices: No shift; Shifts up (i.e., increases: at nearly any given quantity, the cost goes up); or Shifts down (i.e., decreases: at nearly any given quantity, the cost goes down). $ Cost Curve Impacted? If so, how? Explanation of the Shift: Why or Why Not AFC No shift. Fix costs stay the same, regardless of quantity. Fixed cost is calculated as Fixed Cost/Quantity. Since fixed costs remain unchanged, AFC stays the same for each quantity. MC Shifts up. Since the biodegradable cups are more expensive, the…arrow_forward
- Styrofoam is non-biodegradable and is not easily recyclable. Many cities and at least one state have enacted laws that ban the use of polystyrene containers. These locales understand that banning these containers will force many businesses to turn to other more expensive forms of packaging and cups, but argue the ban is environmentally important. Shane owns a firm with a conventional production function resulting in U-shaped ATC, AVC, and MC curves. Shane's business sells takeout food and drinks that are currently packaged in styrofoam containers and cups.

When appropriate, the use of graphs will make for stronger answers. Credit will depend entirely on the quality of your explanation. 1.
