Question

Why must double counting be avoided when measuring GDP? Provide an elaborate answer with at least one example.

 

Part B:  Aggregate Demand (AD) Curve shows the relationship between the economy’s price level and real GDP demanded. In other words, real GDP demanded by different groups of buyers, i.e., Consumers (C), Businesses (I), Government (G), and Net Amount by Foreigners (Export - Import), at different price levels give us points on a graph, which are connected to form a curve called AD curve. Review the textbook chapter, and conduct internet research to discuss determinants of AD or factors that shift AD curve.

 

 

Part C:  Following graph shows business cycle fluctuation in a hypothetical economy. "Y" denotes year, and "Q" denotes quarter. What do points A, B, C, and D denote? Write at least a sentence each about what these points denote. Also, explain what represent the curve segments: A to B, B to C, and C to D. Lastly, because economic activity fluctuates, how is long-term growth possible?
