Assume that we use a perpetual inventory system and that five identical units are purchased at the following four dates and costs: April 5$10 April 10$12 April 15$14 April 20$16 April 22$17 One unit is sold on April 25. The company uses the weighted average inventory costing method. Identify the cost of the ending inventory on the balance sheet. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

What is the eventual effect on real gdp if the government increases its purchases of goods and services by $80,000? assume the marginal propensity to consume (mpc) is 0.75. $ what is the eventual effect on real gdp if the government, instead of changing its spending, increases transfers by $80,000? assume the mpc has not changed. $ an increase in government transfers or taxes, as opposed to an increase in government purchases of goods and services, will result in an identical eventual effect on real gdp. a smaller eventual effect on real gdp. a larger eventual effect on real gdp. no change to real gdp.

Which statement best explains the relationship between points a and b? a. consumption reaches its highest point, and then supply begins to fall. b. inflation reaches its highest point, and then the economy begins to expand. c. production reaches its highest point, and then the economy begins to contract. d. unemployment reaches its highest point, and then inflation begins to decrease.

Suppose that two firms produce differentiated products and compete in prices. as in class, the two firms are located at two ends of a line one mile apart. consumers are evenly distributed along the line. the firms have identical marginal cost, $60. firm b produces a product with value $110 to consumers. firm a (located at 0 on the unit line) produces a higher quality product with value $120 to consumers. the cost of travel are directly related to the distance a consumer travels to purchase a good. if a consumerhas to travel a mile to purchase a good, the incur a cost of $20. if they have to travel x fraction of a mile, they incur a cost of $20x. (a) write down the expressions for how much a consumer at location d would value the products sold by firms a and b, if they set prices p_{a} and p_{b} ? (b) based on your expressions in (a), how much will be demanded from each firm if prices p_{a} and p_{b} are set? (c) what are the nash equilibrium prices?
