Economics, Accounting & Business: Post your doubts here!

[Heyyy]

In 24,shouldnt it be B,as net exports will still fall and cause reduction ,even if its a small amount.D would lead to people getting higher disposable income and hence increase AD.Dont you think?

And in 5 i calculated the percentage changes and initially sales increased faster than price change but by the end change had no effect on price like on both 12 and 10 the total revenue recieved and hence the sales were the same.

Actually the decrease in tariffs will also have an effect on SRAS as imported raw material will be cheaper now.

I haven't tried Q5,can't find my calculator lol

Price increase is 25% and on both occasions Q increase is 50%(20-30 and 16-24) That give XED of 2.So how do we get value of 1.66?

It's just a range.
We don't need to get 1.66
Just need to show that it falls in the range.

But then it can also be B C D as 2 falls in their range as well

A surplus will cause a rightward shift in demand curve of the currency because more exports.
By decreasing interest rates the demand will be lowered as people will prefer saving in countries with higher interest rates.
Supply will also increase causing the fixed exchange rate to retain

Just a lil something.After you've done the paper and all the collection of answer sheets is going and and stuff,record your answers in your calculator.I have that silver casio one and on that you can save values using Shift,RCL after entering the values

Save ans like this 124123 will denote ABDABC .Save on multiple letters as one letter can not accumumlate more than 9 values.This will help us compare our answers as well as compare them to the ms when it comes out,especially for AS as it'll give an indication of how much marks you got.Might save someone money from rechecking.

Now loo at the decrease in pric e

%Change in Qd = 4/12*100= 33
% change in price 2/10*100 = 20


So 33/20= 1.66

In a closed economy with no government, the level of investment is $5 million, the equilibrium level of income is $22 million, the full employment level of income is $25 million and there is a deflationary gap of $1 million. What can be deduced from this information?
A The marginal propensity to consume is 2/3 .
B The marginal propensity to consume is 1/3 .
C The value of the investment multiplier is 5.
D The value of the investment multiplier is 1.5.

Can someone please explain why A is the answer? Thank you!

The difference between the full employment level of income and the equilibrium level of income is 3
Therefore, multiplier = 3/1 = 3
Now, multiplier = 1/(1-mpc)
mpc = 2/3
