5. Briefly explain whether you agree or disagree with the following statement: "Real GDP
is currently $17.2 trillion, and potential GDP is $17.4 trillion. If the president would like
to increase the government purchases by $200 billion or cut taxes by $200 billion, the
economy could be brought to equilibrium at potential GDP."
6. In 2012, an executive at Honda Motor Company announced that the firm would be
moving more of its car production from Japan to the United States. A newspaper article
stated: "The move, driven by the strength of the Japanese yen, will also result in Honda
significantly reduce the number of vehicles it imports into North America from plants in
Japan."
a. What does the article mean by the strength of the Japanese yen?
b.
Why would a strong yen case Honda to produce more cars in the United States and
fewer cars in Japan?

- How might the following events affect the real gross domestic product (GDP) and what would happen to economic well-being in each case? Briefly explain. The government of Pakistan decides a lockdown in the economy for an indefinite period of time. The discovery of high yielding variety (HYV) seeds improves farm harvests. Goods transporters observe strike in the economy. Small and Medium Size Enterprises (SMEs) experience subdued demand causing them to lay off employees.
