Suppose that there is a natural disaster that destroys part of the nation’s capital stock. (a) determine the effects on aggregate output, consumption, employment, and the real wage, with reference to income and substitu- tion effects, and explain your results. (b) do you think that changes in the capital stock are a likely cause of business cycles? explain with reference to your answer to part (a) and the key business cycle facts described in chapter 3.

Do you have a picture?

The correct answer would be d if you are on edgenuity.

Combining the emissions released by fossil fuel burning and  the carbon released via land use change, we get a total of 8.7 gt. since the problem states that the oceans "take up" or sequester  2.4 gt carbon  per year, we subtract that value from 8.7 gt, leaving us with 6.3 gt of carbon. since the problem states that 3.4 gt carbon dioxide emissions end up in the atmosphere, the "missing sink" of carbon takes up 2.9 gt, a value we got by subtracting the 3.4 gt amount recorded from the 6.3 gt carbon left available after the oceans sequester the carbon dioxide.
