- Deflation is particularly bad for an economy in recession for all of the following reasons EXCEPT a-with deflation people spend less expecting prices to be lower in the future b- the rising prices makes goods more expensive c- with deflation the value of assets declines while the value of loans does not - this lowers wealth and further depresses spendingarrow_forwardIf real GDP grows at an annual rate of 1.19% then we can expect real GDP to double in approximately how many years?

There are many firms (domestic-owned and foreign-owned), and trading occurs with a neighboring country. At the end of 2018, the nation's bureau of economic analysis preliminary report stated that the country's 2018 gross domestic product is $12.8 billion. (Question 4 of 5) Consider that at the beginning of 2019, the following additional information was obtained with a note that while these activities occurred in 2018, they were not included in the preliminary report. For each activity, state whether it should be included in the calculation of the country's 2018 GDP, the component of GDP it would affect if included, and whether this activity will increase, decrease, or not change the preliminary value calculated.
