An investigative reporter for the Chicago Tribune reports that the average spending by American adults during the six-day period after Thanksgiving, spanning Black Friday weekend through Cyber Monday, is $100. The population standard deviation (σ) is known to be $20. To verify the report, 100 randomly sampled American adults were surveyed. The sample showed an average spending of $95. Does this show significant evidence that the population average spending differs from $100? Answer this question using a hypothesis test then construct a 95% confidence interval. Does $100 fall within the interval?

Suppose the government decided to increase government spending (Go) by 50 million dinars, and decided to increase the fixed taxes (To) by the same amount, i.e. by 50 million dinars, and if you know that the marginal propensity to consume (mpc) is 0.75, calculate the following:

1. The effect of the increase in government spending on the level of balanced income.
2. The effect of the increase in the tax on balanced income.
3. The total effect of the effect of the increase in government spending and the increase in tax on the level of balanced income.
4. Based on the results of Section 3, what do you conclude?

Why are political representatives not allowed to simply decide on all areas of spending? What limits are in place? How does this distort the idea that Fiscal Policy can be used to solely direct an economy? Explain. How does the approach for proposing a budget (i.e. Garbage Pail or Policy Window) influence the types of ideas that governments spend money on? Explain. How does either process lead to spending on ideas/items that promote long - term economic growth? How does either process lead to spending on ideas/items that do not have positive consequences on the economy?

3. The original classical school dominated macro economic thinking: 1800s to 1933. 1759-1793. 1997-2017. 1933-1980.

Given an economy where government is deficit spending while operating at full employment.

1. Using a correctly labeled graph for real interest rates, explain how the increase in the deficit will affect real interest rates in the short run, ceteris paribus.
2. Explain the difference between government deficit and national debt by defining each concept.
3. Explain how private investment will be impacted by the government's deficit spending.
4. If the government continues deficit spending, show the impact on a correctly labeled short-run Phillips Curve. Label the initial position A and the new position B.

Oerstman, Inc., uses a standard costing system and develops its overhead rates from the current annual budget. The budget is based on an expected annual output of 125,000 units requiring 500,000 direct labor hours. (Practical capacity is 520,000 hours.) Annual budgeted overhead costs total $815,000, of which $580,000 is fixed overhead. A total of 119,200 units using 498,000 direct labor hours were produced during the year. Actual variable overhead costs for the year were $261,300, and actual fixed overhead costs were $556,150.

1. Compute the fixed overhead spending and volume variances.

2. Compute the variable overhead spending and efficiency variances. Do not round intermediate calculations
