(a)
To indicate:
Whether the given transaction is a credit or a debit for the U.S. current account.
Answer to Problem 1P
This transaction will be recorded on the debit side of the US current accounts.
Explanation of Solution
Import of a B Car from Germany means outflow of US dollar from the USA to Germany. When money goes out, it is recorded on the debit side. Therefore, this transaction should be recorded on the debit side of the US current account.
Credit side of financial account:
The right side of the financial account. The value which comes in is recorded on the credit side.
Debit side of financial account:
The left side of the financial account. The value which goes out is recorded on the debit side.
(b)
To indicate:
Whether the given transaction is a credit or a debit for the U.S. current account.
Answer to Problem 1P
This transaction will be recorded on the credit side of the US current accounts.
Explanation of Solution
Purchase of software from an American company by a Japanese firm means an inflow of US dollar from Japan to the USA. Whenever money comes in, it is recorded on the credit side. Therefore, it should be recorded on the credit side of the US current account.
Credit side of financial account:
The right side of the financial account. The value which comes in is recorded on the credit side.
Debit side of financial account:
The left side of the financial account. The value which goes out is recorded on the debit side.
(c)
To indicate:
Whether the given transaction is a credit or a debit for the U.S. current account.
Answer to Problem 1P
This action will be recorded on the debit side of the US current account.
Explanation of Solution
Financial aid implies outflow of US dollars to Israel. However, there is no reciprocation in this case but whenever money goes out is debited. Therefore, this should be recorded on the debit side of the US current account.
Credit side of financial account:
The right side of the financial account. The value which comes in is recorded on the credit side.
Debit side of financial account:
The left side of the financial account. The value which goes out is recorded on the debit side.
(d)
To indicate:
Whether the given transaction is a credit or a debit for the U.S. current account.
Answer to Problem 1P
This transaction will be recorded on the credit side of the US current account.
Explanation of Solution
Sales of oranges by US-based firm to Great Britain means an inflow of US dollar from Great Britain to the USA. Whenever money comes in, that is credited. Therefore, it should be recorded on the credit side of the US current account.
Credit side of financial account:
The right side of the financial account. The value which comes in is recorded on the credit side.
Debit side of financial account:
The left side of the financial account. The value which goes out is recorded on the debit side.

(20 points in total) Suppose that the market demand curve is p = 80 - 8Qd, where p is the price per unit and Qd is the number of units demanded per week, and the market supply curve is p = 5+7Qs, where Q5 is the quantity supplied per week. a. b. C. d. e. Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity for a competitive market in which there is no market failure. Draw a diagram that includes the demand and supply curves, the values of the vertical- axis intercepts, and the competitive equilibrium quantity and price. Label the curves, axes and areas. Calculate both the marginal willingness to pay and the total willingness to pay for the equilibrium quantity. Calculate both the marginal cost of the equilibrium quantity and variable cost of producing the equilibrium quantity. Calculate the total surplus. How is the value of total surplus related to your calculations in parts c and d?arrow_forward
- Sam's profit is maximized when he produces shirts. When he does this, the marginal cost of the last shirt he produces is , which is than the price Sam receives for each shirt he sells. The marginal cost of producing an additional shirt (that is, one more shirt than would maximize his profit) is , which is than the price Sam receives for each shirt he sells. Therefore, Sam's profit-maximizing quantity corresponds to the intersection of the curves. Because Sam is a price taker, this last condition can also be written as .arrow_forwardWhy must total spending be equal to total income in an economy? Total income plus total spending equals total output. The value-added measurement of GDP shows this is true. Every dollar that someone spends is a dollar of income for someone else. all of the abovearrow_forwardLabor Market Data Price $5 $10 $15 $20 $25 3,000,000 6,000,000 9,000,000 12,000,000 15,000,000 Qd 15,000,000 12,000,000 9,000,000 6,000,000 3,000,000 Price $30 $25 $20 $15 $10 $5 + +- x- 3 6 Do + + F 9 12 15 Quantity (In millions) Area of a triangle = 1/2* base *height Market Efficiency & Total Surplus Worth Publishers SCENARIO: The state government is considering raising the minimum wage from $15 per hour to $20 per hour over the next 3 years. As an economic advisor to the governor, you have been asked to provide a recommendation on whether the minimum wage should be increased based on economic theory. Consider the labor market data provided. Prepare a brief report that: 1. Explains whether the labor market is currently efficient at the equilibrium wage of $15 per hour. How would you know? At equilibrium, what (dollar amount) is the Total Surplus this market provides? Show your rationale with numbers. 2. Analyzes the impact on total surplus in the market if the minimum wage is raised…arrow_forward
