Question
Chapter 4R, Problem 4MCQ
To determine
To determine the effect of the decrease in the price of steel due to new iron ore discovery which is used to produce steel.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Discovery of a new iron ore deposit which is used to make steel will decrease the price of steel. This price decrease will increase the output of the economy and
An increase in steel production does not affect any of the components of aggregate
An increase in the production of steel will affect the supply side of the economy. Therefore, the statement that there will be no change in aggregate demand or supply is incorrect.
The Discovery of new iron ore will decrease the price of steel. This price decrease will increase the output of the economy and aggregate supply will increase. It will certainly not decrease the aggregate supply. Thus, option (e) is not correct.
Economics Concept Introduction
The Discovery of a new iron ore deposit which is used to make steel will decrease the price of steel. This decrease in the price of steel will increase the aggregate supply as it shifts the
This is a supply-side factor.

To understand the economic rationale behind this, economists turn to the basic consumer theory model of budget constraints and indifference curves. Recall that an indifference curve maps out all possible consumption bundles of goods that yield the same level of utility to a given consumer. Indifference curves tell us nothing about what we can afford, but rather tell us how happy a particular bundle will make us. On the other hand, a budget constraint shows the consumption bundles that we can buy given our income and the prices of goods. Similarly, a budget constraint says nothing about what we would like to buy, but rather what we can afford. Suppose you consume only two types of goods: magazines and food. You have $300…arrow_forward
- Cho is a truck driver living in Miami who performs freelance health consulting to supplement her normal income. At an hourly wage rate of $45, she is willing to consult 5 hours per week. Upping the wage to $65 per hour, she is willing to consult 14 hours per week. Using the midpoint method, the elasticity of Cho’s labor supply between the wages of $45 and $65 per hour is approximately , which means that Cho’s supply of labor over this wage range is .arrow_forwardWhere do I draw the demand and supply linearrow_forwardIt would be inefficient but possible for this economy to produce? 100 1dryers 90 80 C 70 A 60 50 D B 40 30 20 10 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 washers O 90 dryers and 20 washers. 50 dryers and 50 washers.
