Answer: $5 billion
Explanation:
First find the spending multiplier which is a multiplier that shows how Aggregate demand increases as a result of additional spending.
Multiplier = 1 / (1 - Marginal propensity to consume)
= 1 / ( 1 - 0.8)
= 5
If the government wants to raise Aggregate demand by $25 billion, they should spend:
Increase in AD = Amount * Multiplier
25 billion = Amount * 5
Amount = 25 / 5
= $5 billion

1) What is the size of Labor force
?
60 people are full time employed + 20 people who are part-time employed + 20 people who are unemployed = 100 people

the unemployment rate includes only those people who do not have a job but are willing and able to work, and are currently looking for one.

Answer:
$38,675
Explanation:
sales price per pillow $97.50
total production 2,000 units
total sales 1,750 units
costs:
variable costs $22.10 per unit
fixed manufacturing $13.00 per unit
fixed administrative expenses $19.50 per unit
variable costing assigns only variable costs to inventory and COGS, so the COGS using variable costing = 1,750 units x $22.10 = $38,675
under variable costing, all fixed costs are period costs (fixed manufacturing and fixed administrative).
