Hi,
I’m in an online economics class. One of our worksheet questions is “Start at the original (correct) equilibrium price and quantity in part (a). Suppose that the government wishes to decrease the market equilibrium monthly rent by increasing the supply of housing. Assuming that demand remains unchanged, by how many units would the government have to increase the supply of housing in order to get the market equilibrium rental price to fall to $1000 per month? To $500 per month?”
the equilibrium price is $2,000 and the quantity is 12,500 apartments. I’m just not sure how to solve or approach this question. Help?
Thanks!
Hello,
How do I read Purchasing Power Parity table?
Does it go like this – statisticians value basket of goods & services in international dollars (lets assume its 20’000 int$), then if I see in the official tables that one country has PPP of 10’000 int$ and other has PPP of 40’000 int$, does it mean that the first country can buy only half of this basket of goods & services and the second one can buy even two of them?
NO!Just concider the concept of negative slope.
It will help you discover the right answer

Hi Tejvan,
Can you do a piece on the is-lm model
Hello Tejvan,
I am not an economist but i did took some classes and read some books e.g. “Why an economy grows and why it crashes” and “The German Economy: Beyond social markets” (basics to understand).
My question is the following: What points, ideas, data and/or areas should i search/study in order to understand a countries future role within the world economy? More specifically Germany.
I am trying to write a paper on this but have no idea where to start. Hope you can guide me on where to aim and focus.
Thank you

5.4. Suppose you buy this bond when the market rate of interest is 9% and it has a maturity of 5 years and you sell it the next year when the market rates of interest fall to 5%. Calculate your rate of return over this one year period. round up to no decimals.
