Explanation of Solution
The construction of school forces the government to boost is expenses in the market by increasing business revenues. Resource owners of the school construction have a raise in income. These resources need to be side tracked from private sector. Taxes might have to increase to construct the high school.
In case, the economy is facing an
Concept Introduction
Circular flow: It is a way of representing the flow of money between the two main groups in society - producers (firms) and consumers (households). This flow is a part of the fundamental process for satisfying human wants.
Sub part (b):
To determine: The flow of income and impact of tax.
Sub part (b):

Explanation of Solution
It reduces the financial resources transfer from the businesses to the government. Then the business tax reduces and thus, the business owners will get a bigger percent of the income. These companies use the amplified profits to acquire capital commodities and labor. The weakening of the commercial income tax forces the government to reduce spending, and corporate spending increases the causing resource reallocation.
In case, the economy is facing unemployment and no reduction in government expenses, we see an increased spending if the companies increase their expenses on capital commodities. The distribution effect will have a dependency in knowing if the profits are going straight to people with a higher income or are these being spent for the assets and employees of the organization.
Sub part (c)
The impact over the resource reallocation of the economy.
Sub part (c)

Explanation of Solution
This will cause an increase in commodities and services to people from the government or this can be termed as net taxes that are being reduced, which is the same to a raise in transfer payments. This is the income’s redistribution in support of the people who are not wealthy. Resources to be paid by the government will be going up as additional teachers need to be employed and salaried.
This will need the resource reallocation from the private sector to the public sector by reducing the unemployment rate. In this case, there will be an upward pressure on prices to an extent if this is a transfer payment program and the production will not increase.
Sub part (d):
The impact over the resource reallocation of the economy.
Sub part (d):

Explanation of Solution
This will cause an increase in net taxes paid by business. As the business will see this as an increase in costs, it will bring down its
The households will reduce their demand for utilization of commodities and services from companies as they have a low income. So the net household taxes that the government receives will decrease. The distribution of income will be away from profits toward the other three categories to the extent that the total tax revenues increase.
There will be a slight increase in the allocation of resources from the private sector to the public sector. Resources will also be allocated towards pollution control equipment. As the supply has reduced due to the increase in costs to business, unemployment and thus, the prices will increase.

- Problem 5 The MNO Corporation is preparing for its stockholder meeting on May 15, 2013. It sent out proxies to its stockholders on March 15 and asked stockholders who plan to attend the meeting to respond. To plan for a sufficient number of information packages to be distributed at the meeting, as well as for refreshments to be served, the company has asked you to forecast the number of attending stockholders. By April 15, 378 stockholders have expressed their intention to attend. You have available the following data for the last 6 years for total attendance at the stockholder meeting and the number of positive responses as of April 15: Year Positive Responses Attendance 2007 322 520 2008 301 550 2009 398 570 2010 421 600 2011 357 570 2012 452 650 1.

- 1. In this question, assume all dollar units are real dollars in billions. For example, $100 means $100 billion. Argentina thinks it can find $105 of domestic investment projects with a marginal product of capital (MPK) equal to 10% (each $1 invested in year 0 pays off $0.10 in every later year). Assume a world real interest rate r*is 5%, and initial external wealth W (W in year -1) is 0. a. You find that the formula on the lecture slide: > r*, which means that a country will ΔΟ AK take on investment projects as long as the marginal product of capital (MPK) is at least as high as the real interest rate. Using this formula, answer if Argentina should conduct the project. b. If the projects are not done, GDP = Q = C = $200 in all years. Compute the present value of Q and C. c. If Argentina conducts the projects (investing $105), what is the present value of Q and C? d. If Argentina conducts the projects, what is the present value of C? Is Argentina better off with the investment?arrow_forward2. Consider a world of two countries: Highland (H) and Lowland (L). Each country has an average output of 9 and desires to smooth consumption. All income takes the form of capital income and is fully consumed each period. Initially, there are two states of the world: Pandemic (P) and Flood (F) each occurring with 50% probability. Pandemic affects Highland and lowers the output there to 8, leaving Lowland unaffected with an output of 10.
