The graphical representation of the monthly data for the 10-year Treasury bond yield since 1975 is as follows:
From the above diagrams, it is concluded that the prime rate charged by banks tends to be the highest and the interest rate on three-month Treasury bills tends to be the lowest.
The remaining three interest rates, that is, the yield on high-grade corporate bonds, the 30-year conventional mortgage rate, and the yield on ten-year Treasury bonds move together.

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 .
Why 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.

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…

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) represents the total value of all goods and services produced by a country. The news reporter shows excitement because rising GDP signifies positive economic performance. Consumer spending has increased while businesses expand and new job opportunities become available.
