(02.03 MC) Which of the following is true about the limitations of the unemployment rate?

(04.01 MC) Following an increase in the rate of interest, which of the following will occur?

(04.07 MC) Use the graph to answer the question that follows.Assume that the loanable funds market is in equilibrium, as shown in the graph. If households become concerned about retirement income and spend less, what will happen in this market for loanable funds?

(03.01–03.09 HC) For all graphs, be sure to correctly and completely label all axes and curves and use arrows to indicate the direction of any shifts.Assume Morocco is currently operating with an unemployment rate six percent above its natural rate of unemployment. Draw a correctly labeled graph of the long-run aggregate supply, short-run aggregate supply, and aggregate demand curves. Label the equilibrium price level PL1 and the equilibrium real output Y1. Label the full-employment level of output YF. Where on a production possibilities curve representing full employment in Morocco would current output be—on, outside, or inside the PPC? What can be assumed about inflation based on the information above? Assume that the output gap is estimated to be $156 billion and the government decides to take action. If the marginal propensity to consume is 0.75, by how much would it need to change government spending to close the gap? Show your work. If instead, government chose to use the income tax to close the output gap rather than changes in spending, calculate the change in tax revenue the government would need to close the gap. Assume the same figures as part (d). What is one possible automatic stabilizer in the economy that would contribute to closing this output gap? Assume that instead of intervening, the government allowed the economy to self-adjust in the long run. On your graph from part (a), illustrate how the economy would self-adjust in the long run. If the GDP deflator is 125 in the year that the output gap is identified, and two years later it is 150, is inflation becoming an issue? Explain, using the numbers provided.

(02.04 MC) If the consumer price index for a given year is 120 and the price of the fixed basket of goods for that year is $60, what must the price of the basket have been in the base year?

(02.02 MC) Nominal GDP fails to take account of ________, and real GDP still does not measure ________.

(02.04 LC) The CPI will be ________ when there is ________ in the quality of a good and its price remains the same.

(04.05 MC) When the central bank sets or determines the money supply, which of the following is true?

(03.07 HC) Use the graph to answer the question that follows.Assume that the economy is in a short-run equilibrium as shown on the accompanying graph. Without government intervention, what adjustment over time can be expected?

(02.03 MC) An economy’s natural unemployment rate is 9 percent, its structural unemployment rate is 2 percent, and its cyclical unemployment rate is 3 percent. Based on this data, its frictional unemployment rate is ________, and its actual unemployment rate is ________.
