Assume that GDP (Y) is 10,000. Consumption (C) is given by the equation C = 500 + 0.8(Y – T). Investment (I) is given by the equation I = 2,000 – 50r, where r is the real rate of interest in percent. Taxes (T) are 500 and government spending (G) is also 500. a. What are the equilibrium values of C, I, and r? (Show your work) (4.5 marks) b. What are the values of private saving, public saving, and national saving? (Show your work) (1.5 marks) c. If government spending rises to 1,000, what are the new equilibrium values of C, I, and r?

Explain why government budget deficits crowd out private investment spending in a closed economy, but crowd out net exports in a small open economy. Assume prices are flexible and that factors of production are fully employed in both economies. Use the basic version of the open-economy model that abstracts from foreign debt accumulation.

As poor economies grow, the share of production that passes through formal markets rises as subsistence farmers become more integrated into markets and improved law enforcement reduces black market activity. Would this process tend to raise or lower the measured rate of economic growth? Would the measured rate of economic growth tend to understate or overstate the true rate of economic growth? What is a possible solution?

(a) In the Solow Model, how does the saving rate affect the steady-state level of income? How does it effect the steady-state rate of growth? Discuss.

(b) Why an economic policymaker choose the Golden rule level of capital?

(c) How does the rate of population growth affect the steady-state level of income? Does it affect the steady-state rate of growth?

(d) How can the policy maker influence a nation’s saving rate? Explain

Suppose we know that a policy did not produce any change in a household’s real per capita consumption expenditure. List at least five ways the policy might nonetheless have improved the household’s well-being. That is, suggest at least five stories regarding how the household’s circumstances might have changed, and how the household responded to those changes, that are consistent with the household’s well-being rising even while its per capita consumption expenditure remains constant.

2. Define externality and distinguish between positive and negative externality and their impact on production, using examples where possible.

3. How can a government correct for positive and negative externalities?

The four management functions are planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. Think of a job you have now or one you have had in the past. List the managerial activities you have done or observed. If you have never had a paid job, remember that it takes management skills to manage a home, run a baseball team, and lead a church group. Classify each activity of your job according to whether it involved planning, organizing, leading, or controlling - there should be activities under each of the four functions of management
