How do you calculate the real values of the deficit and the ratios of the deficit and the debt to GDP when you are given a table that tells you nominal deficit, nominal debt, GDP deflator, and nominal gdp?

I'm really confused!!

You're a bakery producing 400 units of bread daily with 5 units of labor, 7 units of land, 2 units of capital, and 1 unit of entrpreneurial abiltiy. The daily cost of each of these inputs is $40 for labor, $60 for land, $60 for capital, and $20 for entrpreneurial ability.


a) What is the economic cost of each loaf produced?

b) If you're selling your bread at $2/loaf, how are you doing? What do you think your bakery will be doing in the future (e.g. expand, keep on as you're doing now, shut down)?

Okay, In Friedman's book, The World Is Flat, he talks about 10 things that have made the world flat (in other words have leveled the playing field for globalization to take place). He names these 10 as:
1. Berlin Wall Falling
2. Web started and netscapre went public
3. work flow software
4. uploading
5. outsourcing
6.offshoring
7. supply-chaining (ie with walmart)
8.insourcing (ie UPS does more than postal delivery, it as does computer repairing etc in the US)
9. informing (information age- google,etc)
10. the steroids- digital, mobile, personal, and virtual

CAN anyone think of what could be a possible candidate for a future #11???? Something else that has contributed to leveling the playing field for globalization to take place?

I am watching the history channel and a couple of interesting comments made:

The average dollar BILL lasts 22 months.

The coins we make today will be around for hundreds of years.

Could dollar coins save taxpayer money?

Who purchases items based on the country that produces it. I mean, it's much smarter and better for our economy if one strictly purchases products made in Canada. But I was wondering who actually lived by that law and meticulously scrutinized products to ensure that there made in Canada prior to buying them. Of course, for some things there's no way of going around the import, but for the other products?
Do you consider it worth it, to pay higher prices for Canadian products rather then pay low prices (dollar store) for products related to cheap labor?

"'Most of the oilseeds are used for food here, so that puts biodiesel in an immediate disadvantage, price-wise,' said Adams, the school's director of the Faculty of Engineering Outreach Service. 'But it's an excellent fuel and burns very cleanly. And diesel engines are inherently more efficient than gas engines. It's good for our country and our farmers.'

Those sentiments were expressed a generation ago by Carter, who ran the family peanut farm before being elected Georgia's governor in 1970.

'If our country had followed the policies he laid out then, we'd be far more advanced today in terms of energy independence,' said Johnson. 'President Carter gets to see part of his vision advanced by way of a biodiesel plant in Plains, Ga.'"

BIODIESEL IN THE UNITED STATES:
- 105 biodiesel plants are in operation
- 77 are being built
- 225 million gals. were blended in 2006
- An esitmated 65 million gals. annually will be added by 3 facilities being constructed in Georgia, by 2010
