What is an output in the computer?
Output is like, if you print something, the information on the paper is output. If you are listening to music on the computer, the sound is output. If you are watching a movie, the actions, the images, and the sound is output. In other words, output is something the computer provides for you.
What is a comparison of a machine's work output and work input?
Output is always greater than input. The output is multiplied from input.
What are the Four phases of business cycle in economic. easy words?
A business cycle consists of four unique components, each reflecting differing levels of economic activity and the subsequent circumstances occurring during each respective stage. An expansion is where the economy is experiencing positive and increasing economic output. Employment tends to increase (unemployment falls) and there is upward pressure placed on prices (inflation rises) as output rises. A peak is reached when the economy has produced the greatest amount of output. At this point employment is generally at or near its highest level (unemployment is at its lowest level: usually below the full employment rate of approximately 5%) and prices tend to rise more rapidly (inflation accelerates). Following the peak is a recession, or contraction. During this phase output actually decreases (the rate of growth becomes negative); unemployment begins to rise and the inflationary pressure on prices fades In America, due to government involvement, prices usually don't fall, but the rate of inflation decreases). The low point of the cycle occurs next. This is known as a trough and unemployment tends to be at its peak and production at it low point. There is very little upward pressure on prices and in some cases there is downward pressure on prices (deflation). The business cycle is identified and marked by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NEBR), an independent economic "think tank".
What causes inflation not what is inflation?
A high average price level, indicated by the consumer prices index.What CAUSES inflation is an increase in a nation's money supply. More dollars (or deutchmarks) are available to bid up the price of a loaf of bread, so it DOES rise..What are the causes of inflation of the Philippines?The basic causes of inflation were covered at AS level. This note considers the demand and supply-side courses in more detail including the impact of changes in the exchange rate and the prices of goods and services in the international economy. Cost Push Inflation Cost-push inflation occurs when businesses respond to rising production costs, by raising prices in order to maintain their profit margins. There are many reasons why costs might rise: Rising imported raw materials costs perhaps caused by inflation in countries that are heavily dependent on exports of these commodities or alternatively by a fall in the value of the pound in the foreign exchange markets which increases the UK price of imported inputs. A good example of cost push inflation was the decision by British Gas and other energy suppliers to raise substantially the prices for gas and electricity that it charges to domestic and industrial consumers at various points during 2005 and 2006. Rising labour costs - caused by wage increases which exceed any improvement in productivity. This cause is important in those industries which are 'labour-intensive'. Firms may decide not to pass these higher costs onto their customers (they may be able to achieve some cost savings in other areas of the business) but in the long run, wage inflation tends to move closely with price inflation because there are limits to the extent to which any business can absorb higher wage expenses. Higher indirect taxes imposed by the government - for example a rise in the rate of excise duty on alcohol and cigarettes, an increase in fuel duties or perhaps a rise in the standard rate of Value Added Tax or an extension to the range of products to which VAT is applied. These taxes are levied on producers (suppliers) who, depending on the price elasticity of demand and supply for their products, can opt to pass on the burden of the tax onto consumers. For example, if the government was to choose to levy a new tax on aviation fuel, then this would contribute to a rise in cost-push inflation. Cost-push inflation can be illustrated by an inward shift of the short run aggregate supply curve. This is shown in the diagram below. Ceteris paribus, a fall in SRAS causes a contraction of real national output together with a rise in the general level of prices. Demand Pull Inflation Demand-pull inflation is likely when there is full employment of resources and when SRAS is inelastic. In these circumstances an increase in AD will lead to an increase in prices. AD might rise for a number of reasons - some of which occur together at the same moment of the economic cycle * A depreciation of the exchange rate, which has the effect of increasing the price of imports and reduces the foreign price of UK exports. If consumers buy fewer imports, while foreigners buy more exports, AD will rise. If the economy is already at full employment, prices are pulled upwards. * A reduction in direct or indirect taxation. If direct taxes are reduced consumers have more real disposable income causing demand to rise. A reduction in indirect taxes will mean that a given amount of income will now buy a greater real volume of goods and services. Both factors can take aggregate demand and real GDP higher and beyond potential GDP. * The rapid growth of the money supply - perhaps as a consequence of increased bank and building society borrowing if interest rates are low. Monetarist economists believe that the root causes of inflation are monetary - in particular when the monetary authorities permit an excessive growth of the supply of money in circulation beyond that needed to finance the volume of transactions produced in the economy. * Rising consumer confidence and an increase in the rate of growth of house prices - both of which would lead to an increase in total household demand for goods and services * Faster economic growth in other countries - providing a boost to UK exports overseas. The effects of an increase in AD on the price level can be shown in the next two diagrams. Higher prices following an increase in demand lead to higher output and profits for those businesses where demand is growing. The impact on prices is greatest when SRAS is inelastic. In the first diagram the SRAS curve is drawn as non-linear. In the second, the macroeconomic equilibrium following an outward shift of AD takes the economy beyond the equilibrium at potential GDP. This causes an inflationary gap to appear which then triggers higher wage and other factor costs. The effect of this is to cause an inward shift of SRAS taking real national output back towards a macroeconomic equilibrium at Yfc but with the general price level higher than it was before. The wage price spiral - "expectations-induced inflation" Rising expectations of inflation can often be self-fulfilling. If people expect prices to continue rising, they are unlikely to accept pay rises less than their expected inflation rate because they want to protect the real purchasing power of their incomes. For example a booming economy might see a rise in inflation from 3% to 5% due to an excess of AD. Workers will seek to negotiate higher wages and there is then a danger that this will trigger a 'wage-price spiral' that then requires the introduction of deflationary policies such as higher interest rates or an increase in direct taxation. Inflation influences in the British economyThe diagram summarises some of the key influences on inflation. Reading from left to right: * Average earnings comprise basic pay + income from overtime payments, productivity bonuses, profit-related pay and other supplements to earned income * Productivity measures output per person employed, or output per person hour. A rise in productivity helps to keep unit costs down. However, if earnings to people in work are rising faster than productivity, then unit labour costs will increase * The growth of unit labour costs is a key determinant of inflation in the medium term. Additional pressure on prices comes from higher import prices, commodity prices (e.g. oil, copper and aluminium) and also the impact of indirect taxes such as VAT and excise duties. * Prices also increase when businesses decide to increase their profit margins. They are more likely to do this during the upswing phase of the economic cycle.

What is inflation targeting?
Central banks such as the Fed prefer that inflation remains stable over the long run. Most central banks practice flexible inflation targeting, to achieve that end. Constant inflation would deliver a zero output gap (meaning that the real level of output is equal to the potential level of output). High inflation is often detrimental to an economy. Businesses and households must divert time and money to hedge against inflation. For example, retail stores must incur the cost of changing thousands of sticker prices on their shelves and in their computers. Severe types of inflation can reduce real output, thereby increasing unemployment. However, when the price level stagnates (meaning little or no inflation), economies are at risk of a deflationary spiral. When this happens, prices and production fall drastically. To balance between these extremes, central banks practice inflation targeting. Currently, the Fed holds a target of around 2% inflation per annum.

What is the best measure of an increase in actual output?
Real Gross Domestic Product (Real GDP) measures the changes in output within a country compared to the output of a selected year. It adjusts Nominal Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to include changes in inflation during the fiscal year. By including changes in inflation, we can observe over time how much actual output a country produces.

What can result in and from inflation?
Simply put, Inflation is the result of anything or phenomena that causes the Money Supply in an economy to exceed the Actual Output level at a particular time... It is this concept that laid the foundation for the lay definition of Inflation being, 'more money chasing fewer goods.'
