ECON 110 Quiz 5
Even if GDP included these types of production, why would it still be an imperfect measure of economic well-being?
- GDP is not adjusted for crime or other social problems. - GDP is not adjusted for pollution and it does not account for unequal income distribution. - The value of leisure is not included in GDP. all of the above
U.S. Gross National Product (GNP) differs from U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in which of the following ways? (Mark all that apply.)
- GNP is the value of final goods and services produced by residents of the U.S. - GNP considers production that occurs outside the U.S.
How does real GDP deal with the problem inflation causes with nominal GDP?
- Real GDP separates price changes from quantity changes. - By keeping prices constant, we know that changes in real GDP represent changes in the quantity of output produced. - Real GDP uses the prices of goods and services in the base year to calculate the value of goods in all other years. all of the above
Why in microeconomics can we measure production in terms of quantity, but in macroeconomics we measure production in terms of market value?
- If, in macroeconomics, we measured production using quantities, we would add tons of wheat grown by U.S. farmers to the number of iPods produced by Apple, to gallons of milk, and so on. - When we measure total production, we can't just add together the quantities of every good and service because the result would be meaningless. - Measuring production using market value in dollar terms allows us to add together many different goods and services. all of the above

Which of the following is not a shortcoming of GDP as a measure of well-being?
GDP only counts final goods and services and not intermediate goods.
If Americans still worked 60-hour weeks, as they did in 1890,
GDP would be much higher than it is, but the well-being of the typical person would not necessarily be higher.
GDP is an imperfect measure of economic well-being because it fails to measure what types of production?
Household production and the underground economy.
What is the difference between the value of a firm's final product and the value added by the firm to the final product?
The value of a firm's final product is the sale price; value added is the difference between the sale price and the price of intermediate goods.
Why does inflation make nominal GDP a poor measure of the increase in total production from one year to the next?
When nominal GDP increases from year to year, the increase is due partly to changes in prices and partly to changes in quantities.
Which equation represents the relationship between GDP and the four major expenditure components?
Y= C+I+G+NX
For this result to occur, the change in inventories would have to have been
a decrease because this would reduce investment and GDP.
