fter defining what we mean with the term “business cycle”, briefly explain the effects of the following cases regarding output, price levels, employment and the overall situation of the economy (recession, expansion etc.). Use graphs to explain yourself in a clear and effective way. i)Suppose the consumers are more pessimistic about the future and reduce their consumption. ii) Suppose the government banned a specific type of technology that firms use to increase productivity.

1. What is a market-clearing model? When is it appropriate to assume that market clear? 2. Use the model of supply and demand to explain how fall in the price of frozen yogurt would affect the price of ice cream and the quantity of ice cream sold. In your explanation, identify the exogenous and endogenous variables. 3. Consider an economy that produces and consumes hot dogs and hamburgers. In the following table are data for two different years. Goods Hot dogs Hamburgers Quantity (2010) 200 200 Price (2010) $2 $3 Quantity (2020) 250 250 Price (2020) $4 $4 Using 2010 data as the base year Compute the following statistics for each year. Nominal GDP, Real GDP, GDP Deflator, Inflation rate using GDP deflator, CPI, Inflation rate using CPI. (Hint: i) to calculate CPI use base year fixed quantity Hot dogs 200 and Hamburgers 200, ii) To calculate inflation rate, use percentage change in price level between two years.)
Graph and label as either direct or indirect the relationships you would expect to find between (a) the number of inches of rainfal per month and the sale of umbrellas, (b) the amount of tuition and the level of enrollment at a university, and (c) the popularity of an entertainer and the price of her concert tickets.
A tax on gasoline is proposed in order to raise money for the pollution-control activities of several public agencies. The tax will be 10¢ per gallon, and last year 10.3 million gallons of gasoline were used by motorists (this is strictly an illustrative number). Does this mean that we can anticipate $1,030,000 in revenues from this tax? Explain and use a graph to answer this question.
The variable shown on the vertical axis is _________ . The units for the variable on the horizontal axis are __________ . There are two ways to view the information presented on the graph. First, the graph tells us the amount a person with a certain income is likely to spend on a car, and second, it tells us the probable income of a person who spent a certain amount on a car. For example, if an individual earned $40,000 last year and purchased a new car, you would expect that person to have paid about _________ for the car. Similarly, if someone just paid $25,000 for a car, you could use this graph to estimate that this person's income was probably around __________ .
Sketch a graph to illustrate your idea of each of the following relationships. Be sure to label both axes appropriately. In each case, explain under what circumstances, if any, the curve could shift: The relationship between a person’s age and height Average monthly temperature over the course of a year A person’s income and the number of hamburgers consumed per month The amount of fertilizer added to an acre of land and the amount of corn grown on that land in one growing season An automobile's horsepower and it's gasoline mileage (in miles per gallon)

Refresh your Math & Graphing Skills SOP-A D For each of the following scenarios, indicate whether the relationship between the two variables is positive or negative, as well as which line on the previous graph has a slope that reflects this type of relationship. X-axis Hint: The X-axis and Y-axis on the graph are not labeled intentionally. You need to substitute the variables from each scenario for the horizontal and vertical axis. For example, in the first scenario, X-axis should be labeled The average grade received" and Y-axis should be labeled "The number of hours spent studying". Scenario As the number of hours spent studying rises, the average grade received rises. As the number of hours spent studying falis, the likelihood of getting an A falls. As the number of hours spent watching TV rises, the average grade received falls. True True or False: Line B has a slope of infinity. O False www Relationship Line Y
