Why do economic agents always respond to incentives
Suppose that the economy is characterized by the following behavioral equations:
C= 180 + 0.7Y
/= 130
G = 150
T= 100
Equilibrium output (Y) = 1300 - (Round your response to the nearest integer.)
Total demand (Z) =| (Round your response to the nearest integer.)

Explain. youarrow_forwardWhen a company offers a new product or service, they estimate how much of that product or service people will want at different prices. This is referred to as the product or service demand. As the price of a product or service increases, the demand usually decreases, and this drives the price down. Companies use the estimated demand to determine how much of a product or service they are willing to supply at different prices. As the price of a product or service increases, companies are willing to supply more of it because they will earn more money. If you graph the demand and the supply curves on the same xy-plane, they will sometimes intersect at the point where the price and the supply are in equilibrium. Consider the scenario below.

- Economic agents for example consumers or firms often do things Economic agents (for example, consumers or firms) often do things that at first glance seem to be inconsistent with their self-interest.
