International Trade ECO 372 University of Phoenix There are many contributing factors to the stabilization and prosperity of our global market. We, the United States, are living in a time of severe trade deficit, meaning that we are importing many more goods than we are exporting. While it is nice to be able to buy foreign products at a lower price, there is risk in doing so. When we purchase foreign goods over domestic at lower prices it forces our domestic companies to sell their goods at lower prices to remain competitive. These lower prices may lend to making enough profit to sustain the current workforce.
If the interest rate is low, it will cause more funds to be available, greater expansion and increased employment. If the interest rate is high, it will cause fewer funds to be available, less expansion, and decreased employment. Fiscal policy is an important tool for managing the economy because of its ability to affect the total amount of output produced or the gross domestic product. The first impact of a fiscal expansion is to raise the demand for goods and services. This greater demand leads to increases in both output and prices.
“Discuss the extent to which a monopoly provider of transport will always increase economic efficiency” (20) Economic efficiency is where both allocative and productive efficiency occur, this is where price is equal to marginal cost and the least possible amount of scarce resources are used to produce the maximum output. A monopoly can refer to a single firm in a market or owning 25% and 40% of the market share. The traditional monopoly theory states that there will be productive and allocative inefficiency in the market since, the firm will hold back supply to gain a higher price. It will not produce where average revenue meets marginal costs. In terms of resource allocation this may mean that demand is not fully met by supply.
* What are the legal requirements? * Didn’t break any laws, related to him applying company funds towards personal use even though his act was solely beneficial to himself alone. What are the ethical duties? * Maintain price-competitive markets will ensure that scares resources are used to optimally satisfy consumer needs. * Pareto Optimality wasn’t obtained because maximum benefits of most wanted goods and services produced at minimum cost of least wanted resources.
Relative to the perfectly competitive equilibrium, the equilibrium outcome for a market dominated by a monopsonist will be higher prices and lower levels of good demanded. c. Government intervention in perfectly competitive markets will lead producer surplus to increase at a cost to consumers surplus. d. Government intervention in perfectly competitive markets will make markets more efficient. e. When regulating a natural monopolist, the government will require the firm to charge prices equal to the perfectly competitive firms’ price. f. A Nash Equilibrium implies
The pricing will be decided based on the demand for the product. Bury will focus on pricing the reader at the highest possible price to ensure sale of all available product. Due to the lack of competition, Bury does not have to worry that consumers will find a similar product elsewhere, therefore he can charge a higher price to maximize profit. Under a monopoly the pricing is elastic, which means that Bury offers a luxury item which the consumer will want to contemplate before buying. Also, Bury can change pricing based on demand which is inelastic.
The changes in the government’s macroeconomic objectives depends on where we are on the AS curve as shown below. If we are on the horizontal part of the AS curve, we will experience economic growth (from Y1 to Y2) without an increase in inflation so our competitiveness in the global market will remain the same so our trade deficit could improve. However, if we are on the curved part of the AS curve, we will have an increase in economic growth and there will be a demand pull inflation from P1 to P2. If we are at the vertical part of the AS curve, inflation will get higher but our economic growth remains the same as we have reached full productive
A rising ROE suggests that a company is increasing its ability to generate profit without needing as much capital. It also indicates how well a company's management is deploying the shareholders' capital. In other words, the higher the ROE the better. Falling ROE is usually a problem. CAGR: Operating income, % Operating income (EBIT) measures a company's earning power from ongoing operations and it largely used by investor because it excludes the effects of different capital structures and tax rates used in different companies.
The customers feel good. They spend more because they have jobs and sable income. More money is collected by the government from income taxes and VAT. The last, factor the prices tend to increase because of high demand so the inflation is rising. Recession- The recession is an opposite of boom stage.
When there is a greater disposable personal income this will allow consumption to increase due to the money saved from the lower tax rate. Through consumption increasing this will favour economic because the gross domestic product has increased. When government expenditures are increased it will have a multiplier effect on aggregate demand. Because of the multiplier effect, the government can increase spending by only a small amount to achieve a larger, necessary increase in aggregate demand. By doing so, the economy will be able to attain an equilibrium level of real
