Consider a firm whose final output (and sales) in a particular year has a value of $1,200
To produce these goods, the firm used $500 worth of intermediate goods it had purchased in previous years plus $200 worth of newly-purchased intermediate goods. In the subsequent year, this same firm again sells $1,200 worth of final goods, but in this year has purchased $700 worth of intermediate goods, of which $100 is not used in current production but, rather, added to the firm's inventory. For each of these two years, calculate the value added by this firm. For each of these two years, calculate the contribution of this firm to the economy's GDP.
The above figure shows the payoff matrix for two firms. A chemical firm must choose between a low level of production which yields one ton of pollution into a nearby lake and a high level of production which yields two tons of pollution into the
nearby lake. A private beach on the lake must decide whether to operate or not. Increased pollution reduces the number of people who wish to visit the beach. If the chemical firm owns the lake, and the beach owner must pay $10 to keep the chemical firm at just one ton of pollution, then A) the beach shuts down and the chemical firm produces one ton of pollution. B) the beach shuts down and the chemical firm produces two tons of pollution. C) the beach operates and the chemical firm produces one ton of pollution. D) the beach operates and the chemical firm produces two tons of pollution.
