On the following graph, AD1 represents the initial aggregate demand curve in a hypothetical economy, and AS represents the initial aggregate supply curve. The economy's full-employment output is $12 trillion. On the following graph, use the grey point (star symbol) to mark the equilibrium. (Note: You will not be graded on any adjustments made to the graph.)

According to critics of Keynesian fiscal policy, the government policy may result in complete crowding out. Which of the following aggregate demand curves shown in the previous graph would be consistent with complete crowding out? AD1 AD2 AD3 As a result, the equilibrium level of real GDP will be $ trillion, and the equilibrium price level will be According to critics of Keynesian fiscal policy, which of the following is true in this case? The increase in deficit-financed government spending causes real GDP to increase to full-employment output. Real GDP does not increase; only the price level increases. The increase in deficit-financed government spending causes real GDP to increase, but not to full-employment output. The increase in deficit-financed government spending has no impact on real GDP and the price level.

Economists forecast future economic conditions by studying variables that tend to fluctuate in advance of the overall economy. The most significant of these variables are known as leading indicators, and they compose the index of leading economic indicators. Which of the following variables are measured as part of this index?  Check all that apply. Supplier deliveries   The ratio of elderly to nonelderly workers   New orders for consumer goods   Stock prices   The money supply     True or False: Businesses and government care only about long-run economic forecasts, because they cannot adapt policy or output to accommodate short-run fluctuations. False   True     Suppose the most recent data show that the average initial weekly claims for unemployment insurance have recently decreased. This change suggests  ____ period in the coming months.

In order to improve the living standards of the people in Philippines after the devastating typhoon Haiyan, the government decided to increase the labour wage per hour from AUD 17.50 to AUD 25.00. Also, Philippines experienced structural unemployment and frictional unemployment. The figure below indicates that the aggregate demand curve slopes left to right downwards. 1)Explain the factors that account for the shape of the Aggregate demand curve. Graph:

Consider a fictional price index, the College Student Price Index (CSPI), based on a typical college student’s annual purchases. Suppose the following table shows information on the market basket for the CSPI and the prices of each of the goods in 2017, 2018, and 2019. The cost of each item in the basket and the total cost of the basket are shown for 2017. Perform these same calculations for 2018 and 2019, and enter the results in the following table.  **THE TABLE IS ATTACHED**   Suppose the base year for this price index is 2017. In the last row of the table, calculate and enter the value of the CSPI for the remaining years.   Between 2017 and 2018, the CSPI increased by_________%. Between 2018 and 2019, the CSPI increased by_________%.     Which of the following, if true, would illustrate why price indexes such as the CSPI might overstate inflation in the cost of going to college? Check all that apply.   As the price of textbooks increased, more and more students…

A futures market trades contracts on the growth rate for nominal GDP. The contract pays $X to the buyer, where X is 100 times the growth rate in nominal GDP from last year to this year. For example, if nominal GDP grows by 1% over last year, the contract pays $100 (1 x 100). Nominal GDP last year was $28,909 billion. Contracts on the futures markets are currently selling for $513. What is the market's prediction for nominal GDP this year? Put your answer in billions. You may round to two decimal places.

Price Level LAS AS1 AD AS2 Real GDP Refer to the graph above to answer this question. If the economy was initially at point A, what would a movement to point B suggest? O The movement could be the result of an increase in nominal wages. The movement could be the result of an increase in prices. The movement could be the result of an increase in aggregate demand. The movement could be the result of increased government spending. The movement could be the result of a decrease in the costs of production.

If one of the item in a simple aggregate price index is milk, the index will be unchanged if the price of milk is expressed in dollars per quart instead of dollars per gallon. In a Passche index, prices are weighted according to the quantities of the various items in the base period. The Consumer Price Index is a simple aggregate index.One application of the Consumer Price Index is to automatically increase wages or benefits through its inclusion in labor contracts. "Real income" refers to the amount money available after government taxes have been paid. The Producer Price Index measures changes in the physical volume or quantity of output of manufacturing, mining, and electric and gas utili­ties. TRUE OR FALSE
