- A short article in the January 10, 2011 edition of The New York Times discussed the amount spent on DVDs over the past six years: (In 2004) consumers spent about $21.8billion to rent and and buy DVDs, Blu-ray discs, digital downloads and other forms of home entertainment...The number has fallen every year since, for a total drop of about 13.8 percent, to $18.8 billion in 2010. The reporter noted that the actual drop was about double what it seemed to be when the figures were adjusted for inflation: $21.8 billion figure from 2004 would amount to $25.3billion in current dollars. The article also noted that box office revenues rose from $9.3billion in 2004 to $10.6 billion in 2010. Calculate the percentage increase in box office revenues, then re-calculate the percentage increase using inflation-adjusted dollars. Have box office revenues increased or decreased over this six-year time period?arrow_forwardDraw a diagram to describe this: Marginal consumption Cm decreases -> The amount of money consumed C also decreases => Household saving S (Saving) increases because S = Yd - C -> The supply of loanable funds increases (due to an increase in household savings) -> the lending interest rate decreases (in the condition that the demand for loan funds remains constant)arrow_forwardQ83 Suppose Jillian spends $250 on books per year when her income is zero. As her income rises, she spends 8 percent of each additional dollar of income on books. The correct mathematical equation that describes the functional relation between her spending on books (B) and her income (Y) is... a. B = 250 + 8Y b. B = 250 + 0.02Y c. Y = 250 + 0.08B d. Y = 250 - 8Y e. B = 250 + 0.08Y Clear my choicearrow_forward

- In January 2017, a report from the National Retail Federation said that “Holiday retail sales during November and December increased 4 percent over 2015 to $658.3 billion.” The NRF’s chief economist “noted that average hourly earnings were up in 2016 over 2015 … home values have also increased and the rising stock market has increased the value of consumers’ investments.” Which models of consumption behavior was the economist referring to? Precautionary savings model and Friedman’s permanent income model Keynesian consumption model and Modigliani’s life cycle model. Inventory cycle model and Modigliani’s life cycle model. Keynesian consumption model and precautionary savings model.arrow_forwardMy friend Marie decides to set aside $200 from her paycheck every month. How will this affect her demand curve? (You don't have to use specific numbers, just explain) When Marie sets aside money from her paycheck, this is the same thing as a decrease in her income. Remember that when income increases, the demand curve shifts outwards to reflect the increase in spending. In this case, Marie's demand curve will shift inwards as she tries to economize more than usual. She will buy fewer goods, even if the prices don't change.
