Answer to Problem 8.1LO

Circular flow of income and output show how income and output are distributed between different sectors of the economy. The circular flow of income is also used to calculate the national income of a country.

Two-sector economy In a two sector economy, the households supply factors of production to the Firms and receive factor payments in return of their services. The firms in turn supplies goods and services to the households and receive payments in return.

Three-sector economy

The three sector economy involves the Households, Firms and the Government sector. Households supply factors of production to the Firms and receive income in return. Firms use these factors to produce goods and services and supply to the households and government for final consumption. The government sector in turn supplies public goods to the households and make payments to households as factor payments.

Explanation of Solution

Four-sector economy

The four sector economy involves the Households, Firms, Government and the Rest of the World sector. Households supply factors of production to the Firms and receive factor income in return. Firm use these factors to produce goods and services and supply to the households and government for final consumption. The government sector in turn supplies public goods to the households and make payments to households as factor payments. While, the rest of the world sector makes factor incomes to the residents of a country working abroad. In addition to this, the rest of the world sector receives factor incomes of the residents of other countries working in our country.

The households and other sectors also save a part of their income in the financial sector. These savings are a leakage out of the income flow while the financial sector provides loans for investments, which are termed as injections into the spending stream.

Which cost curve(s) will be impacted by the use of the more expensive biodegradable disposable cups? Why? Which cost curve(s) will not shift, and why not? Please use the table below to answer this question. For the second column (“Impacted? If so, how?”), please use one of the following three choices: No shift; Shifts up (i.e., increases: at nearly any given quantity, the cost goes up); or Shifts down (i.e., decreases: at nearly any given quantity, the cost goes down). $ Cost Curve Impacted? If so, how? Explanation of the Shift: Why or Why Not AFC No shift. Fix costs stay the same, regardless of quantity. Fixed cost is calculated as Fixed Cost/Quantity. Since fixed costs remain unchanged, AFC stays the same for each quantity. MC Shifts up. Since the biodegradable cups are more expensive, the…
Styrofoam is non-biodegradable and is not easily recyclable. Many cities and at least one state have enacted laws that ban the use of polystyrene containers. These locales understand that banning these containers will force many businesses to turn to other more expensive forms of packaging and cups, but argue the ban is environmentally important. Shane owns a firm with a conventional production function resulting in U-shaped ATC, AVC, and MC curves. Shane's business sells takeout food and drinks that are currently packaged in styrofoam containers and cups. Graph the short-run AFC0, AVC0, ATC0, and MC0 curves for Shane's firm before the ban on using styrofoam containers.
