Assignment: Handout #4 • Consumption expenditures = $600 • Exports = $75 • Government purchases of goods and services= $200 • Construction of new homes = $100 • Imports = $50 • Beginning of year inventory = $100 • End of year inventory = $125 • Business fixed investment = $100 • Government payments to retirees = $100 • Household purchases of durable goods = $100
Handout #3 • Your mother buys a new car imported from Sweden • Your mother’s car rental business buys a new car imported fro Sweden
Textbook #5 • A student is paid for shovelling a neighbour’s sidewalk • Unemployed carpenter receives an employment insurance payment • A wealth-holder sells 1000 shares issued by a Canadian corporation
Capital stock • Page 220 • Capital stock: the total value of assets that provide a flow of revenue • Net investment: gross investment – depreciation
Textbook #1c Q: How much is Metrica's capital stock expanding or contracting in 2001? • Look at depreciation ($79 billion) • Look at gross investment ($157 billion) • Metrica is investing $157 billion BUT $79 billions are lost in repairing or replacing durable assets • Net investment = $157 billion - $79 billion = $78 billion
Expenditure • Is GDP Expenditure method calculated using Net Investment or Gross Investment? • Expenditure approach = Consumption + Government Expenditure + Net Exports (Exports – Imports) + GROSS INVESTMNET
Inflation • Inflation:General increase in the prices of goods and services in an entire economy over time. • Deflation: General decrease in the level of prices
Q&A: • If Canada has an annual inflation rate of 3%, are all the prices rising? • Inflation does not mean all the prices are rising. Some prices are rising, while other prices constant or even decrease. It is that OVERALL prices are rising in 3%.
CPI • Consumer Price Index (CPI): a measure of price changes for a typical “shopping basket” of consumer products. • To determine what typical Canadian households buy, Statistics Canada surveys consumers’ buying habits every few years.
Example • Suppose the shopping basket includes only two items: pizzas and colas. Survey in 2000 shows that, each month, an average consumer buys 20 hamburgers at $2 each, and 20 bottles of Cola at $1 each.
Q&A: • If the CPI rose from 100 in 2010 to 115 in 2011, what is the inflation rate over the year?
Q&A: • What is the difference between nominal income and real income? • Nominal income: income expressed in current dollars • Real income: income expressed in constant base-year dollars
Example • Real income = nominal income/ CPI in hundredths • EX. Nicole’s income rises from 40,000 to 45,000 during a year when the CPI rises from 100 to 110. If the consumer’s own monthly purchases roughly correspond to those in the representative “shopping basket,” what’s Nicole’s personal impact of inflation?
Q&A: • What would be some limitations of CPI?
Due Today • Textbook Question #1 • Exit Slip: Christine’s income rises from $34,000 in 2012 to $35,000 in 2013. Inflation rate over the year is 6%. a) What is Christine’s real income? b) Explain whether following statement is true or false: Since Christine’s income rose, she has a higher standard of living.
