Critical analysis Q8 When actual output exceeds an economy’s full-employment output, how will the self-correcting mechanism direct the economy to long-run equilibrium? Prices will increase causing production costs, which will reduce aggregate supply. In the long run, a new equilibrium will emerge at a higher price level and an output consistent with the economy’s sustainable capacity. Weak demand will pull real wages and other costs downward, increasing profit margins and leading to an expansion of aggregate supply. In the long run, a new equilibrium will emerge at a higher price level and an output consistent with the economy’s sustainable capacity.

The market price of cheeseburgers in a college town increased recently, and the students in an economics class are debating the cause of the price increase. some students suggest that the price increased because the price of beef, an important ingredient for making cheeseburgers, has increased. other students attribute the increase in the price of cheeseburgers to a recent increase in college student enrollment.1. the first group of students thinks the increase in the price of cheeseburgers is due to the fact that the price of beef, an important ingredient for making cheeseburgers, has increased. (what happened to demand and supply, shift to the right or left)2. the second group of students attributes the increase in the price of cheeseburgers to the increase in college student enrollment. (what happens to demand and supply, shift to the right or left)3. suppose that both of the events you analyzed above are partly responsible for the increase in the price of cheeseburgers. based on your analysis of the explanations offered by the two groups of students, how would you figure out which of the possible causes was the dominant cause of the increase in the price of cheeseburgers? (choose a, b,c, or d)a)if the price increase was small, then the supply shift in the market for cheeseburgers must have been larger than the demand shift.b)if the equilibrium quantity of cheeseburgers decreases, then the demand shift in the market for cheeseburgers must have been larger than the supply shift.c)if the equilibrium quantity of cheeseburgers decreases, then the supply shift in the market for cheeseburgers must have been larger than the demand shift.d)whichever change occurred first must have been the primary cause of the change in the price of cheeseburgers.

Newton industries is considering a project and has developed the following estimates: unit sales = 4,800, price per unit = $67, variable cost per unit = $42, annual fixed costs = $11,900. the depreciation is $14,700 a year and the tax rate is 34 percent. what effect would an increase of $1 in the selling price have on the operating cash flow?
