1)Consumption is made by households and increase in consumption shifts AD to the right.Two determinants that affect consumption are Disposable income and expected future income.Disposable income is income after taxes.This income determine how much consumers will consume . Expected future income also affect consumption because if consumers are confident that their future income will increase they will consume more.
Investment is spending by firms on capital.Interest rates and business confidence are two determinants of investment .If interest rates decrease it becomes cheaper for firms to invest and also lower interest rate gives firms incentive to take risk.Again If firms are more confident about the economy and its future growth , they will invest more in capital, new projects ,buildings ,machinery etc.
Net exports is the difference between exports and imports.Exchange rate and trade policy affect net exports.
Assignment Instructions 1. State at least TWO determinants of each of the components of the AD,...
Assignment Instructions 1. State at least TWO determinants of each of the components of the AD, namely consumption, investment and net exports. 2. With help of the AD-AS diagram, explain briefly how a change in the determinants stated above may change the AD and consequently the macroeconomic equilibrium
1. List 4 determinants of AS 2. Connect one or more of these determinants with each of the question in PAGE 1 of the attached exercise . You may find the same exercise in the folder of "Exercises" . In other words, for each of the question in PAGE 1, identify the determinant of AS that's more relevant. State the determinant(s). 3. Explain very briefly how the change in this determinant can affect the AS. 4. Illustrate the change in...
Journal Instructions Critical Thinking Assignment #2 This week you will look at real data for the components of GDP and will conduct a comparison over time. 1) Access GDP data on Mindtap under Research Tools, Macroeconomic Data At A Glance. 2) Review the components of GDP (consumption, investment, government spending, net exports) for the first quarter of 2018. 3) Compare those figures to the same quarter in 2016 and 2017. 4) Note any changes in the data over time. 5)...
1. List 5 determinants of consumption. 2. For each of the following, identify and state the determinant of consumption that's most relevant. Explain the change in consumption that results from a change in this determinant. Illustrate the change using a consumption function curve and an AD (two diagrams side by side). a. Consumer households are very optimistic as the job market is very robust. b. Consumer households' wealth increases as the value of residential housing has been appreciated in the...
2. Connect one or more of these determinants with each of the question in PAGE 1 of the attached exercise . You may find the same exercise in the folder of "Exercises" . In other words, for each of the question in PAGE 1, identify the determinant of AS that's more relevant. State the determinant(s). 3. Explain very briefly how the change in this determinant can affect the AS. here's the determinants A new immigration law increases the size of...
c. For each level of actual aggregate expenditure, calculate unplanned inventory investment. Instructions: Enter numerical values into the table. Enter whole numbers only. If the value is negative, you must enter a minus sign. d. What is the equilibrium level of aggregate expenditure in this economy? Instructions: Enter a numerical value rounded to two decimal places as necessary. e. For each level of actual aggregate expenditure, label the future output tendency as "increase," "decrease," or "same" based on what you...
Question 1: [5 marks]Explain the three reasons why the AD curve slopes downward. State an event that will shift the AD curve, which way it will shift the AD [5 marks]Suppose that the economy is in LR equilibrium. Draw a carefully labelled AD-AS diagram to show the initial LR equilibrium. [5 marks] Show on the above diagram the effect of a drought that destroys crops of many farmers. Carefully explain all 4 steps to show and explain what will happen...
3. You are given the following information about the economy: autonomous consumption = $300 billion planned investment = $300 billion government spending = $500 billion mpc = .8 imports = $200 billion exports = $500 billion a. Using the values above, what is the equation for the consumption function? b. Using the values above, what is the income/spending multiplier? c. What is the value of Net Exports? d. Is there a trade surplus or deficit? Of how much?...
Part 1: Expenditures Approach to Calculating GDP (weight 25% of the assignment grade) Complete the following exercise. Visit the Bureau of Economic Analysis website at www.bea.gov. From the drop-down menu under “Data”, click on “by Economics Account”. Then click on “National”, “Gross Domestic Product, and “Full Release and Tables”. Use table 3 (Gross Domestic Product: Level and Change from Preceding Period). The left columns are nominal GDP (and its components) and the right half represents real GDP (chained 2012 dollars)...
1. Suppose in a simple closed economy with MPC = 0.75, the planned investment spending nas suddenly fallen, reducing AD and output to a level that below the natural level of output by 100 Million. Assume that the real interest rate is constant so that there is no crowding out of (gross) investment. (a) If the government decided to try to get the output back to the natural level of output using only a change in government spending (AG), by...
