Assume that the average or mean monthly household consumption expenditure for Malaysia rose from RM3,578 in 2018 to RM4,033 in 2020, growing 6% per annum at nominal value, according to the statistics department. However, in terms of real value — which refers to the constant price using the Consumer Price Index with the base year 2014 as the deflator — annual growth rate is 3.9% for the same period, mentioned on its Household Expenditure Survey Report 2020. b) i. Use the aggregate expenditures model to show how government fiscal policy could eliminate either a recessionary expenditure gap or an inflationary expenditure gap. ii. Explain how equal-size increases in G and T could eliminate a recessionary gap and how equal-size decreases in G and T could eliminate an inflationary gap.
An economist predicts that the cost of food will increase by 4% per year for the next several years. Part A: Use the economist's prediction to write an explicit rule for a geometric sequence that gives the cost in dollars of a box of cereal in year n that costs $3.20 in year 1. Part B: What is the fourth term of the sequence, and what does it represent in this situation? 5

However, in terms of real value — which refers to the constant price using the Consumer Price Index with the base year 2014 as the deflator — annual growth rate is 3.9% for the same period, mentioned on its Household Expenditure Survey Report 2020. a) Suppose that consumer spending initially rises by RM5 billion for every 1 percent rise in household wealth and that investment spending initially rises by RM20 billion for every 1 percentage point fall in the real interest rate. Also, assume that the economy’s multiplier is 4. i. If household wealth falls by 5 percent because of declining house values, and the real interest rate falls by two percentage points, in what direction and by how much will the aggregate demand curve initially shift at each price level? ii.

In 1928, Charles Cobb and Paul Douglas published a study in which they modeled the growth of the US economy during the period 1899 to 1922. The function used to model production was of the form: (1) P(L, K) = 6LªK!-a where P is total production (monetary value of goods produced in the year); L, the amount of work (total number of person-hours worked in a year); and K, the amount of capital invested (monetary value of machinery, equipment and buildings). In these terms, the hypotheses made by Cobb and Douglas can be stated as follows: (i) If either labor or capital cancel each other out, so does production. (ii) The marginal productivity of labor is proportional to the amount of output per unit of work. (iii) The marginal productivity of capital is proportional to the amount of production per unit of сapital. 1. The output per unit of work is (a) Tick the alternative that, for some constant a, describes the hypothesis (ii) = aP·L. = a. P () aL L P = a. (b) If we keep K constant, K = K0,…
Question 20 Revisit Later Q. "The National Statistical Office, which is under the Union Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation, has released its estimates for gross domestic product (GDP) in the first quarter (Q1) of this fiscal year, 2022-23. The headline is that GDP at constant prices in the first quarter showed 13.5 per cent growth year on year. This is a deceptively high level, given the base effect." The following options are given to explain why this number is deceptively high. i. Most expectations were for quarterly GDP growth in the 15-16 per cent range year on year. ii. Given the base effect, the growth rate of 13.5 percent is in fact a clear disappointment. iii. It needs to be remembered that the equivalent quarter of the previous year, April-June 2021, was when the devastating second wave of the coronavirus epidemic was raging through the country. iv. Even though there was no national lockdown as draconian as that observed during the first wave in 2020, activity…
For the following problems, SHOW YOUR WORK and round to one decimal point. If you struggle with the math, still try to intuitively and graphically answer C and D. Consider an economy with the following data: C(Y-T) 125+0.75(Y-T) 1=2 00-10r G is the level of government purchases, T = 100 MS-800 and the price level is P MD-P(0.8Y-16(r + m²)) Please note the simplified consumption and investment functions (ignoring wealth and r effect on C, and Y effect on I). Note also that the initial price level and government purchases are some constant P and G, respectively and assume expected inflation - NX-0. Let the full employment level of output = 1,600.
