ECON 1150 chap 17
The following graph shows the current short-run Phillips curve for a hypothetical economy; the point on the graph shows the initial unemployment rate and inflation rate. Assume that the economy is currently in long-run equilibrium.
Suppose the central bank of the hypothetical economy decides to increase the money supply.
On the following graph, shift the short-run (SR) Phillips curve or drag the blue point along the curve, or do both, to show the short-run effects of this policy.
Hint: You may assume that the central bank's move was unanticipated.
In the short run, an unexpected increase in the money supply results in in the inflation rate and
in the unemployment rate.
On the following graph, shift the curve or drag the blue point along the curve, or do both, to show the long-run effects of the increase in the money supply.
In the long run, the increase in the money supply results in in the inflation rate and
in the unemployment rate (relative to the economy's initial equilibrium).

The local driver’s license center processes applications for driver’s license renewals through the following three steps. First, the customer registers with the receptionist, who updates the customer’s information in the database. This first step takes 2 minutes per customer. Then the customer visits one of two cashiers to pay the associated fees for the license renewal. This takes 8 minutes per customer because several forms must be printed from the computer and signed by the customer. Finally, the customer visits one of three license processing stations where the customer’s picture is taken and the license is printed. This final step takes 15 minutes per customer.

Zhu Manufacturing is considering the introduction of a family of new products. Long-term demand for the product group is somewhat predictable, so the manufacturer must be concerned with the risk of choosing a process that is inappropriate. Faye Zhu is VP of operations. She can choose among batch manufacturing or custom manufacturing, or she can invest in group technology. Faye won’t be able to forecast demand accurately until after he makes the process choice. Demand will be classified into four compartments: poor, fair, good, and excellent. The table below indicates the payoffs (profits) associated with each process/demand combination, as well as the probabilities of each long-term demand level.
| Poor | Fair | Good | Excellent | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Probability | .1 | .4 | .3 | .2 |
| Batch | -$ 200,000 | $1,000,000 | $1,200,000 | $1,300,000 |
| Custom | $ 100,000 | $ 300,000 | $ 700,000 | $ 800,000 |
| Group Tech. | -$ 1,000,000 | -$ 500,000 | $ 500,000 | $2,000,000 |
A) Based on expected value, what choice offers the greatest gain?
B) What would Faye Zhu be willing to pay for a forecast that would accurately determine the level of demand in the future?
