12 Section B: Short Answer Questions. (80 points) 1. (20 pts) The table below shows production and prices for a stylized economy. Assume the base year is The market basket for CPI is given by production in Year Production of X Price of X ($) Production of Y Price of Y ($) Production of Z Price of Z ($) units 3 15 units 10 5 units units 5 20 units units units 8 20 units 5 15 units 2 a) (15 pts) Calculate nominal GDP, real GDP, the GDP deflator, and the CPI for 2012, 2013, and Nominal GDP for year 2012, 2013 and 2014 are GGGGPP 22 = (1111 $33) + (1111 $1111) + (55 $44) = $ GGGGPP 22 = (1111 $55) + (2222 $1111) + (1111 $44) = $ GGGGPP 22 = (1111 $88) + (2222 $55) + (1111 $22) = $ Real GDP for year 2012, 2013 and 2014 are RRRRRRRR GGGGPP 22 = (1111 $33) + (1111 $1111) + (55 $44) = $ RRRRRRRR GGGGPP 22 = (1111 $33) + (2222 $1111) + (1111 $44) = $ RRRRRRRR GGGGPP 22 = (1111 $33) + (2222 $1111) + (1111 $44) = $ The GDP deflator for year 2012, 2013 and 2014 are = = = The CPI for year 2012, 2013 and 2014 are CCCCII 22 = = CCCCII 22 = = CCCCII 22 = = b) (5 pts) What is the 2014 CPI inflation rate? Which year is the economy growing faster, 2013 or 2014? The 2014 CPI inflation rate is = 2222%
13 The growth rate during 2013 is The growth rate during 2014 is = = Therefore the economy is growing faster during year (20 pts) Countries A and B each produce pens and pencils. Currently the two economies do not trade with one another. The table below provides information about the maximum amount of each good they can produce. Maximum Number of Pencils Produced Maximum Number of Pens Produced Country A Country B a) (5 pts) Use the information from the table to draw the (linear) PPFs for these two economies. In each graph, measure pencils on the horizontal axis and pens on the vertical axis. b) (5 pts) What is the slope of each PPF and how does it relate to the opportunity cost of production? Slope of country A s PPF is = This implies that for country A, the opportunity cost for 1 pencil is equal to 11 of a pen. 22 Slope of country B s PPF is 13
14 = Aadland Spring 2015 This implies that for country B, the opportunity cost for 1 pencil is equal to 22 of a pen. 55 c) (5 pts) Does either country have an absolute advantage in pens and pencils? Who has a comparative advantage in producing pencils? Explain. Country A has an absolute advantage in producing both pens and pencils. Country B has a comparative advantage in producing pencils. The opportunity cost for 1 pencil is equal to 22 of a pen in country B, while the opportunity cost for 1 pencil is equal to of a pen in country A. Therefore country B has a smaller opportunity cost of producing 22 pencil compared to country A. d) (5 pts) Suppose Country A produces 500 pencils and 250 pens. Suppose Country B produces 250 pencils and 100 pens. Redraw the PPFs and label the points C and D. Are both countries efficient in production? Show how each country can specialize completely in one good, trade, and operate on a point outside the PPF. Both point C and D are on the PPFs of each country respectively, therefore both countries are efficient in production. Each country should specialize in producing the product that it has a comparative advantage in. Country A should use all its resources to produce 500 pens. Country B should use all its resources to produce 500 pencils. Country B can then trade 250 pencils for 110 pens with country A. Country B s consumption with trade is 110 pens and 250 pencils, this point is above point D and is outside the PPF. Without trade, when producing 250 pencils, country B can only produce a maximum of 100 pens. Country A s consumption with trade is 390 pens and 250 pencils, this point is outside its PPF as well. Without trade, when producing 250 pencils, country A can only produce a maximum of 375 pens. 14
15 3. (20 pts) Assume that planned investment is 250, government spending is 50, autonomous consumption is 100, and the MPC is 0.5. Taxes are zero and the economy is closed. Aadland Spring 2015 a) (10 pts) Find the equilibrium level of real GDP and show the equilibrium using the graphical version of the income-expenditure (Keynesian cross) model. The equilibrium level of real GDP is equal to the planned aggregated spending. GGGGGG = AAEE PPPPPPPPPPPPPP = CC + II PPPPPPPPPPPPPP + GG where CC = DDDD DDDD = GGGGGG Substitute and solve for GDP GGGGGG = GGGGGG GGGGGG = b) (10 pts) Assume new housing construction increases by 50. What expenditure category is impacted? Find the new equilibrium and show this graphically. What is the multiplier effect of this new construction? The increase in new housing construction increases the planned investment. The new equilibrium is GGGGGG = GGGGGG + ( ) GGGGGG = In this case, the multiplier is = 22. An increase of 50 in planned investment increases 11 MMMMMM real GDP by
16 4. (20 pts) Assume OPEC decides to restrict output to raise crude oil prices. Use the AD-SRAS-LRAS model to show graphically how this will impact the U.S. macroeconomy in the short and long run. Label your initial equilibrium A, short-run equilibrium B, and the long-run equilibrium C. Write a corresponding paragraph explaining the transition of the economy and how the Fed could use monetary policy in reaction to the shock. 16
17 An increase in oil price will raise production cost across the economy and reduce the quantity of aggregate output supplied, causing a leftward shift of the short-run aggregate supply curve. Graphically, the initial short-run aggregate supply curve, SRAS 1, shifts leftward and becomes SRAS 2. The new intersect between AD and SRAS 2 is the short-run macroeconomic equilibrium, shown as point B. This results in a higher equilibrium aggregate price level at P 2 and a lower equilibrium aggregate output level at Y 2. The economy faces a recessionary gap and stagflation. In the long-run, nominal wages will fall and cause the SRAS 2 to return to SRAS 1. However, because of wage stickiness the return to the long-run equilibrium may be very slow. In the case of a negative supply shock, it is not easy to use monetary or fiscal policy to stabilize the economy. The Fed could use expansionary monetary policy to increase aggregate demand. This limits the rise in unemployment but causes even more inflation. 17
