- Exercise 4. You are a manager at a certain factory that designs small gadgets. The factory has been quite successful in the past years. Your CEO is wondering whether or not it is a good idea to expand the factory this year. The cost to expand the factory is $1.5M. Doing nothing will result in expected $3M in revenue if the economy stays good and people continue to buy plenty of gadgets, but only $1M in revenue is expected if the economy is bad. On the other hand, expanding the factory carries an expected $6M in revenue if economy is good and $2M if the economy is bad. Assume there is a 40% chance of a good economy and a 60% chance of a bad economy. Also, assume the costs of operating the factory account to $.5M if the factory is expanded and $.3M if not. a. Illustrate a Decision Tree showing these choices. b. What should you do?arrow_forwardThe formula for economic impact is I(r)=(A)/1-r The formula for impact change is ∆I= I'(r)*∆r The formula for percentage change is g(r)=(r)/1-rarrow_forwardIf average income goes from $30,000 to $33,000 and consumption increases from $29,000 to $31,000, the marginal propensity to consume is Select an answer and submit.

- Holy cow! The giant manufactory company Whamazon is considering your city to locate its new factory. You are the mayor of the city. Suppose that you estimate the MPC of your city to be 0.67. Suppose further that Whamazon estimates the immediate new Investment impact upon your city will be $350 million. Whamazon is asking for a tax subsidy of $1,000 million ($1 Billion) to locate there. Should you take the offer? Why or why not? Absolutely not. $1 Billion! Your city would end up in the hole the entire $1,000 million. No, your city would end up in the behind $650 million (the $1,000 subsidy minus the $350 new investment). Yes, your city comes out ahead $650 million ($1,000 subsidy cost $350 investment) - Yes, your city comes out ahead $1,350 ahead ($1,000 subsidy + $350 investment) Yes, your city comes out ahead $60 million ($1,060 new economic development - $1,000 cost of the subsidy).arrow_forwardHow COVID-19 Has Affected the U.S. Economy?arrow_forwardAssume that Kelly is a life cycle consumer and receives incomes of 20, 30, 45 and 0 in her four period life.
