2014-2015 BEC Flashcards
Productivity
=Real output/Hours Worked BEC SU 2.10.C
Net Domestic Product (NDP)
National Income
+ Indirect Business Taxes
+ Net Foreign Factor Income
=NDP
Also, NDP=GDP-Capital Consumption Allowance (Depreciation)
I Bought Two Nets For Fishing Income (IBTNFFI)
BEC. SU 3.2.1.a.3)
National Income (NI)
“Not Net Income” SuperfastCPA
Salaries & Wages \+Rents \+Interest \+Proprietor & Partnership Incomes \+Corporate Profits =National Income (NI)
Stalin’s Red Influence Promoted Communism (SRIPC) BEC 3.2.1.a.2)
Real GDP
Real GDP = Nominal GDP/Price Index (In 100th’s)
Nominal GDP = Total Market Value of All Goods & Services In Current Dollars BEC SU. 3.2.5.
GDP (Income Approach) Personal Income (PI) Disposable Income (DI)
GDP=NI+NDP+/-CCA (Capital Consumer Allowance/Depreciation)
PI=All Income Received by Individuals
DI=PI-Taxes (Personal)
BEC SU. 3.2.2. & 3.2.1.a.4)
GDP (Expenditures Approach)
GDP=C+I+G+NX Consumer Spending (C) Investment Spending (I) Government Spending (G) Net eXports (NX) Creativity Increases Germany's Net eXports (CIGNX) BEC SU.3.1.2.e.
Money Multiplier
Amount of money banks potentially can create
Money Multiplier=1/Required Reserve Ratio
Multiplier
Multiplier=1/(1-MPC)
MPC= Marginal Propensity to Consume
BEC 3.7.2.a.3)b)
Unemployment Rate
Unemployment Rate=(Number of Unemployed/Size of Labor Force)*100
BEC SU.3.6.1.a.
Consumer Price Index (CPI)
CPI=(Cost of Market Basket In Current Year/Cost of Market Basket In Base Year)*100
BEC.SU.3.5.1.b.2)
Inflation
Rate of Inflation=(Current-Year Price Index - Prior-Year Price Index)/(Prior-Year Price Index)
BEC.SU.3.5.1.b.1)a)
Demand Elasticity Coefficient: 0
=0 Perfectly Inelastic (I) Demand
(BEC SU.2.2.1.c.3)
%Change Q = % Change
Demand Elasticity Coefficient: % Change Q>%Change in Price
% Change Q>%Change in Price (Greater Than 1), Demand Is Relatively Elastic Range)
(BEC SU.2.2.1.c.3)
Demand Elasticity Coefficient: 1
% Change Q=%Change in Price (Equal to 1), Demand Has Unitary Elasticity (Usually Very Limited Range)
(BEC SU.2.2.1.c.3)
Demand Elasticity Coefficient: % Change Q
% Change Q
Demand Elasticity Coefficient: Infinite
Demand is perfectly elastic (BEC SU.2.2.1.c.3)
Effects on Total Revenue: Price Increase
Price Increase: Elastic Range (Decrease), Unitary Elasticity (No Change), Inelastic Range (Increase)
(BEC SU.2.2.1.b.5)
Effects on Total Revenue: Price Decrease
Price Decrease: Elastic Range (Increase), Unitary Elasticity (No Change), Inelastic Range (Decrease)
(BEC SU.2.2.1.b.5)
Elasticity of Demand (Ed) Midpoint Method
Ed=[(Q1-Q2)/(Q1+Q2)]/[(P1-P2)/(P1+P2)]
BEC SU.2.2.1.b.2
Elasticity of Demand (Ed)
Ed=[%Change Quantity Demanded/%Change Price]
BEC SU.2.2.1.a.
%Change Price (Point Method)
%Change Price=(Price After Change-Price Before Change)/Price Before Change
Point Method
(BEC SU.2.2.1.b.1)
%Change In Quantity (Point Method)
%Change Quantity=(Quantity After Change-Quantity Before Change)/Quantity Before Change
Point Method
(BEC SU.2.2.1.b.1)
To loosen the Money Supply
Federal
1 Fed sees recession looming
2 Fed buys government securities on open market
3 Fed credits cash to reserve accounts of banks selling securities
a) Increase supply; create supply of excess reserves; banks now willing to lend
b) Greater availability of cash for overnight loans causes decline in Federal funds rate
4 Fall in interest rates stimulates investment spending by businesses
5 Rise in investment spending increases aggregate demand, which increases real GDP and reduces unemployment
(BEC SU 3.9.1.b.3)
To tighten the Money Supply
Federal
1 Fed fears inflation heating up
2 Fed sells government securities on open market
3 Fed decreases cash in reserve accounts of banks buying securities
a) Decrease in supply of cash reduces excess reserves; banks unable to lend
b) Lower availability of cash for overnight loans causes decline in Federal funds rate
4 Rise in interest rates stimulates investment spending by businesses
5 Fall in investment spending reduces aggregate demand, which decreases price level and reduces inflation
