Short-Run Economic Fluctuations

The Company is TORO. This is a group assignment and I am only responsible for the highlighted portion. Only 1-2 slides.  PLEASE NO PLAGIARISM

Select an organization your team is familiar with or an organization where a team member currently works.

Create a 15- to 20-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation that will be presented to the organization’s Executive Committee. The presentation should cover the following items:

  • Identify the three key facts about short-run economic fluctuations and how the economy in the short run differs from the economy in the long run.
  • Explain economic fluctuations and how shifts in either aggregate demand or aggregate supply can cause booms and recessions using the model of aggregate demand and aggregate supply.
  • Explain how monetary policy affects interest rates and aggregate demand.
  • Analyze how fiscal policy affects interest rates and aggregate demand.
  • Evaluate why policymakers face a short-run trade-off between inflation and unemployment.
  • Evaluate why the inflation-unemployment trade-off disappears in the long run.

Cite a minimum of 3 peer-reviewed sources not including your textbook.

Format consistent with APA guidelines.

 

Class,

 

I would like to make the following suggestions for this week’s team PowerPoint presentation:

 

1. Remember that the focus of this paper should not be the organization you pick.

 

2. Read Chapter 20 of your textbook. The key facts about economic fluctuations are discussed in Section 20-1. Discuss how shifts of the AD and AS curves can affect the equilibrium price level and real output, but do not forget that these shifts also imply changes in the rate of unemployment.

 

3. Note that monetary policy and fiscal policy are different types of policies. I suggest you have a slide indicating what these policies mean. Also, the instructions imply that fiscal policy aims to change interest rates. That is not correct. While fiscal policy can potentially have any effect, that is not the purpose of fiscal policy. On the other hand, interest rate changes are a major objective of monetary policy.

Discuss on Self-Assessment

The milestone assignments will provide you with the opportunity to reflect on four organizational scenarios to demonstrate your understanding of leadership in organizational behavior. These assignments are designed to develop your skills in analyzing various organizational leadership situations dealing with skills assessment, team-building, vision and culture, problem-solving, and conflict management. Prompt: For Milestone One: Self-Assessment, you will use the StrengthsFinder® results and the text material to complete a paper/presentation. In this assignment, you will summarize your StrengthsFinder results and compare these results with the cognitive factors associated with leadership effectiveness. Using at least two examples, explain how your leadership strengths and traits contribute to the effectiveness of an organization that you are part of currently or were previously associated with. You will be evaluated on summary of results, analysis of cognitive factors and leadership, application of examples, critical thinking, and articulation of response. Guidelines for Submission: Milestone One must be in APA style. Include a separate title and reference page, an introduction, subheadings, and a conclusion. The requirements for this assignment are 2 to 4 pages in length (not including title and reference pages), double spaced, 12-point Times New Roman font, 1-inch margins, and at least two discipline-appropriate citations.

AP Microeconomics
Assignment: Apply Concepts of Factor Demand Page 1 of 2 1. Resource prices affect an economic system in multiple ways. List and explain
three of these effects. (3 points)
2. Derived demand
A. Economists call the demand for a resource a derived factor demand. Explain what
the term derived means in derived factor demand. (2 points)
B. How is the marginal-revenue-product curve related to the derived-factordemand curve? Why is the derived-factor-demand curve downward sloping
with respect to price? (2 points)
C. Why is the resource demand curve for a firm operating in an imperfectly
competitive industry steeper than the resource demand curve of a firm
operating in a perfectly competitive industry? (4 points)
D. Is the resource demand curve of a firm operating in an imperfectly competitive
industry more or less elastic than the resource demand curve of a firm
operating in a perfectly competitive industry? Is a firm operating in an
imperfectly competitive industry more or less responsive to resource price
changes than a firm operating in a perfectly competitive industry? (4 points)
3. At what point will a profit-maximizing firm stop hiring new employees?
(4 points)
4. The three determinants of resource demand: 1) demand for the final good or service, 2)
technology that affects the productivity of resources, and 3) prices of complement and
substitute resources.
A. Explain how a change in the demand for a good will change the demand for the
resource used to produce the good. Give an example. (4 points)
B. Changes in technology can cause changes in the productivity of a resource.
Technological change can be economy-wide, industry-specific, or can occur
within one firm’ s production process. Explain how a change in the productivity
of a resource changes the demand for the resource. Give an example. (4 points)
C. Suppose labor and capital are substitute resources, and the price of capital
decreases. What happens to the demand for labor and capital? Do the
producers produce more or less of the final good? Explain your answers.
(6 points)
D. Suppose labor and capital are complement resources, and the price of capital
decreases. What happens to the demand for labor and capital? Do the
producers produce more, less, or the same amount of the final good? (6 points) AP Microeconomics
Assignment: Apply Concepts of Factor Demand
5. Page 2 of 2 Elasticity A. Blue Chair Press publishes art books. The demand for art books published by
Blue Chair Press is highly elastic. Labor is a significant input in the production
of art books. Show on a demand and supply graph for Blue Chair Press art
books the effect of an increase in the wage rate. What can you conclude about
the elasticity of demand for labor? (4 points)
B. Blue Chair Press uses a lot of labor when it edits and publishes texts. Its labor
costs are 80% of its total costs. Compare the elasticity of demand for labor in
this situation with the elasticity of labor demand if labor accounted for only
20% of Blue Chair Press’s total costs. (4 points)
C. Since Blue Chair Press requires very specific artistic skills from the labor it
hires, there are few substitutes for the type of labor the firm requires. How
does this affect the elasticity of demand for labor? (2 points)
D. True or False: The higher the elasticity of demand for the product, art books,
the more inelastic is the demand for the resource, labor, that produces the art
books. Explain your answer. (2 points)
E. True or False: If the ratio of labor costs to total costs is low, then the elasticity
of demand for labor is low and a given wage increase results in fewer laborers
losing jobs than if the elasticity of demand is higher. Explain your answer.
(2 points)
6. Marginal Analysis
A. Explain how marginal analysis is used to determine the least-cost combination
of labor and capital used to produce a given level of output. (2 points)
B. Explain how marginal analysis is used to determine the profit-maximizing
combination of labor (L) and capital (K) used to produce a given level of
output. Give your answers in words and in an equation. (2 points)
C. Is the least-cost combination or resources also the profit-maximizing level of
resources? Explain your answer. (3 points) ____________
