The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change in price over time from a designated reference period, at which it equals 100. The index is based on prices of basic consumer goods and services. The table provided lists the CPI for several years from 1960 to 2012. If the price change in cars parallels the change in the CPI, what would a car sell for (to the nearest dollar) in 2012 if a comparable model sold for $7,500 in 1999? Year CPI 1960 29.6 1973 1986 44.4 109.6 156.9 1999 2012 229.6 In 2012, a car would sell for approximately $ 58,176 (Round to the nearest dollar.)

Consider a hypothetical economy in which the labor force consists of 300 people. Of those, 270 people are employed full-time and 30 people are unemployed. The economy follows the same conventions as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) in computing its employment figures. Therefore, Initially the unemployment rate is calculated as follows: Unemployment Rate = Manber of played ople Number of Popie Labor Fore 30 x 100 300 <= 10% W x 100 Suppose a reduction in foreign demand for this economy's products causes an economic recession following table offers two possible scenarios resulting from the recession. Calculate the unemployment rate associated with each scenario in the following table. Assume that each scenario describes the only labor market changes in this economy. Scenario A: Firms reduce work hours by 10%. The number of involuntary part-time workers rises as firms respond to the reduction in the demand for their products by reducing the hours of each employed person from 40…
This is a graph of 3 measures of unemployment from the period just before the great recession to just before the covid 19 recession The red line, is the unemployment rate including discourage workers and workers marginally attached to the labor force. The Blue line is the unemployment rate as measured by the BLS The Green line is the Natural rate of unemployment, the target rate, the NAIRU. The gray bar represents the recession of 2008, and the subsequent recovery of the economy afterwards. This was evidenced by a gradual increase in GDP. Is the pattern of all 3 series what you would expect in terms of the behavior of all 3. Provide reasons for your answers.Your answer should include reference to AD/AS or the AE model.

< Consider an economy that initially has a labor force of 1,000 workers. Of these workers, 950.0 are employed and each works 40 hours per week. Ten units of output are produced by each hour of labor. The total number of hours worked per week is 38000 (Round your answer to the nearest whole number). The total output per week is 380000 (Round your answer to the nearest whole number). The unemployment rate is 5% (Round your answer to one decimal place). The economy enters a recession. Employment falls by 4%, and the number of hours per week worked by each employed worker fails by 2%. Employment is now 912 (round to the nearest whole number), and the total number of hours worked per week is now 35,750.4 (round your answer to one decimal place).
