Description The point of a circular flow model is to show where the money comes and goes within an economy. Investments , government purchases, transfer payments, and exports are injections of spending that are put into the circular flow model whereas savings, net taxes, and imports are leakages that take away from the flow. Both leakages and injections are equal in the circular flow model. Agree with 2- 3 sentences
Description Unanticipated Inflation leads to more economic issues than anticipated inflation (McEachern, W. A. (2015). If actual inflation exceeds anticipated inflation the result could be companies needing to give unexpected raises to employees which weren't included in the budget. For example, my organization does a yearly market analysis and will give employees additional market adjustments for cost of living in addition to merit raises. This year the raise was 2% across the board for all staff. Personally, I benefit when given a raise as my purchasing power increases and results in increased cash flow if its more than inflation. If my raise is the same as inflation, it's a win win for the company and me. For my company which is a hospital organization, inflation means the necessity to also increase prices for services performed due to the impact on increasing costs whether it's from labor, supplies, or cost. If inflation exceeds the raise given, then it's the employees loss and their purchasing power is decreased. If inflation is less than the employee's raise, then the employee has increased purchasing power and has the advantage. When inflation is expected, companies and the government can plan on it such as workers getting higher wages, businesses raise prices, interest rates may rise also. When unanticipated inflation occurs, it impacts individuals with fixed incomes, and businesses raise prices quickly in response without adjusting wages which hurts the workers and benefits the business. agree with 2 - 3 sentences
Description Instruction: You need to show the detailed process to reach your answers. Q.1 (20 points) Assume that turkey meatball and beef meatball are substitutes. Also note that turkey and turkey meatball are two different objects. The same caution applies to beef and beef meatball. (1) We observe that the equilibrium price of turkey meatball rises. Explain whether or not a rise in the price of turkey is responsible for this observation. (2) We also observe that the equilibrium quantity of beef meatball drops. Explain whether or not a rise in the price of turkey is responsible for this observation. Q.2(20 points) Bert, as a consumer, places the value on a pair of jeans as follows. Value of first pair: $30 Value of second pair: $28 Value of third pair: $26 Value of fourth pair: $24 Value of fifth pair: $21 Value of sixth pair: $19 Value of seventh pair: $17 Ernie, as a producer, pays the following cost to produce jeans. Cost of first pair: $12 Cost of second pair: $15 Cost of third pair: $17 Cost of fourth pair: $19 Cost of fifth pair: $21 Cost of sixth pair: $24 Cost of seventh pair: $26 Using the information given above, answer the following questions. (1) Drive the quantity demanded and the quantity supplied at the price of $19. (2) Derive the equilibrium price and compute the sizes of the consumer and the producer surpluses at the equilibrium price. Q.3 (20 points) Suppose that an analyst conducts a study about the relationship between a firm’s sales revenue and the size of the firm’s acquisition of real estate properties, by examining the data from 200 corporations with annual sales revenue exceeding $200 million. The analyst finds that the more a firm spends for acquiring real estate properties, the more revenue the firm generates in subsequent years. Based on the finding, the analyst concludes that an acquisition of real estate property causes an increase in a firm’s revenue. Someone else who is not involved in the study, however, argues that the conclusion has a problem of ‘reversed causality.’ Provide a possible reason why study’s conclusion could have a problem of ‘reversed causality.’ Q.4 (20 points) (1) , what is the economic meaning of Qx in the inverse demand function? (2), what is the economic meaning of Qx in the demand function? (3) what is the economic meaning of Px in the inverse supply function? (4) , what is the economic meaning of Px in the supply function? Q.5 (20 points) A Korean BBQ restaurant has four workers for washing jobs: Dane, June, Park, and Pola. Each works eight hours a day and can produce two washing services: washing rice bowls and washing grill racks. In an hour, Dane can either wash 100 rice bowls or wash 130 grill racks; June can either wash 130 rice bowls or wash 130 grill racks; Park can either wash 150 rice bowls or wash 100 grill racks; and Pola can either wash 100 rice bowls or wash 150 grill racks. Graph the production possibilities frontier over one day for this restaurant. In the graph, you must identify the points where transfer of a worker from one job to another starts to take place, by showing the coordinates of the points. In answering this question, you must take into account the fact that every worker works eight hours a day. Bottom of Form

Explanation of concepts and theories requires examples and evidence.
Description Evaluate whether each of the following statements is true or false. Explain your answer and provide supporting rationale. The short-run aggregate supply (SAS) curve slopes upward because households spend more as their incomes increase. The long-run aggregate supply curve can never shift. Either a decrease in the nominal money supply by the Federal Reserve, all else held constant, or an increase in the price level, all else held constant, will shift the aggregate demand (AD) curve to the left. The Keynesian portion of the short-run aggregate supply (SAS) curve would be relevant during a recessionary situation. Stagflation occurs when the aggregate demand (AD) curve shifts out on the upward sloping portion of the short-run aggregate supply (SAS) curve. Part 2 Evaluate whether each of the following statements is true or false. Explain your answer and provide supporting rationale, using graphs to support your answer. You can create graphs by hand and take pictures and upload them with your answers, or you may use Word or Excel, and upload the file created by these software packages. If the real money demand is greater than the real money supply, interest rates must rise to reach equilibrium in the money market as institutions sell bonds to obtain more money. The federal government’s control of the money supply, which influences interest rates, is the primary tool that policy makers use to impact the macro economy. A decrease in the reserve requirement decreases the money supply because banks have fewer reserves. The real money demand curve shows how households and businesses change their spending in response to changes in the interest rate. Both an increase in the nominal money supply by the Federal Reserve and an increase in the price level will cause the real money supply curve to shift to the right. Write a 1000-word paper that includes your answers to both Part 1 and Part 2 of the assignment. You must use three outside sources in addition to your textbook; these sources may include scholarly sources, credible newspapers, trade journals, and/or websites. Be sure to use OCLS to find these sources.
