c. increases public saving but reduces national saving. d. reduces private saving, but increases national saving. 2. If the current market interest rate for loanable funds is below the equilibrium level, then there is a a. surplus of loanable funds and the interest rate will fall. b. shortage of loanable funds and the interest rate will fall.
q1= (100-(10-3))/3=31 q2= 30 Q=31+30=61 Market Price=100-30-31=39 Firm’s one profit= 31*39-31*7=992 Firm’s two profit=30*39-30*10=870 c. Compare consumer surplus from parts a and b. Do consumers fare better with or without the subsidy? (Remember that consumer surplus is calculated from market quantity and market price.) The consumer surplus is bigger with subsidiary because they get more quantity with lower price while without subsidiary consumer’s surplus become smaller as they get less quantity with higher price.

Compute the GDP deflator in the later year, using your answers to parts a and b. d. Compute a fixed-weight price index for the later year, using the base-year quantities as weights. e. Which price index rises faster, the GDP deflator (Paasche) index or the fixed-weight index (Laspeyres) index 1 Question 3 (20 marks) .
Discuss surplus-enhancing transactions in markets 6. Explain how elasticity affects the way in which the burden of a per-unit tax is shared between buyers and sellers 7. Explain how elasticity affects the size of the deadweight loss created by a per-unit tax **NOTE: All of chapter 5 of Hubbard, Garnett, Lewis and O’Brien (2011) Microeconomics, 2nd edition, Pearson is required reading. 1. Consumer surplus The difference between the highest price a consumer is willing to pay for a good or service, and the price they actually pay.
Profit Maximization is the process that a firm uses to establish where the best output and price levels are, in order to maximize its return. There are two primary methods that can be used to establish profit maximization. One method is the Marginal Revenue minus the Marginal Cost (MR-MC) method. When utilizing this method economists assume that profit would be at its highest when MR and MC are equal, which denotes that for every item made MP=MR-MC. When / if MR is higher than MC then MP would result in a profit for Company A.
Interpret. From the scatter plot it is evident that the slope of the ‘best fit’ line is positive, which indicates that Credit Balance varies directly with Size. As Size increases, Credit Balance increases and vice versa. MINITAB OUTPUT: Regression Analysis: Credit Balance ($) versus Size The regression equation is Credit Balance ($) = 2582 + 404 Size Predictor Coef SE Coef T P Constant 2581.9 195.3 13.22 0.000 Size 404.13 51.00 7.92 0.000 S = 620.793 R-Sq = 56.7% R-Sq (adj) = 55.8% Analysis of Variance Source DF SS MS F P Regression 1 24200717 24200717 62.80 0.000 Residual Error 48 18498431 385384 Total 49 42699149 Predicted Values for New Observations New Obs Fit SE Fit 95% CI 95% PI 1 4602.6 119.2 (4363.0, 4842.2) (3331.6, 5873.6) Values of Predictors for New Observations New Obs Size 1 5.00 2.
