Question 28 1 Pts The Planned Aggregate Expenditures (PAE) Curve Is Given By PAE
Transcribed Image Text from this QuestionQuestion 28 1 pts The Planned Aggregate Expenditures (PAE) curve is given by PAE = C P G where consumption spending is given by C = A byd, disposable income yd = Y-T-ty, where Y is output, Tis lump-sum taxes, t is the proportional tax rate and b is the marginal propensity to consume. Planned investment is given by IP and government spending is G. Planned investment and government spending do not depend on Y. Suppose A = 100, b=0.8, T = 50, t = 0.5, 1P = 100 and G = 140.

Suppose You Own Hot Air Balloon Rides During A Local Sports Event In Vancouver,
Suppose you own Hot Air Balloon Rides during a local sports event in Vancouver, Canada, which is a singleprice monopoly (see Figure 1). Columns 1 and 2 of the following table set out the market demand schedule and columns 2 and 3 set out the total cost schedule. (FIGURE1) A) Calculate the firm’s Consumer Surplus (CS), Producer Surplus (PS), and total Deadweigh Loss (DWL) under this single-price monopoly by comparing the Perfect Competition: P, Q, Pi, CS, PS, and DWL, what can you conclude? B) If instead of taxing Hot Air’s profit, the government imposes a sales tax on balloon rides of $30 a ride, what are the new profit-maximizing quantity, price, and economic profit? C) If your brother finds out that you profit from this Hot Air Balloon Rides, he wants to buy 2nd Balloon with similar cost structure and runs his Hot Ballon Riding business independently. What is your estimated market structure change in terms of P, Q, Pi, CS, PS, and DWL and why? D) If more and more vendors join in this market from the other provinces of Canada and the USA, what can you predict the market structure change in terms of P, Q, Pi, CS, PS, and DWL.
