FIRST SCENARIO: The economy has taken a turn for the worse. The president believes the government should get the economy moving

again. According to the president, the problem is that markets are flawed and they do not protect consumers. Therefore, the government should study the problem, decide what must be produced, and pass laws that require individuals and businesses to follow the government’s informed advice.
Opponents of the president see a different world. They say central planners do not have enough information to organize an economic system. Markets may seem chaotic, but prices act as signals and respond quickly to fragmented information in a dynamic economy. These price signals provide consumers, businesses, and resource owners with the information they need to coordinate action. In addition, incentives matter. Government programs often create incentives that have unintended consequences. The economy will grow if we stay the course.

SECOND SCENARIO: The Save Our Jobs Coalition is working to pass a law that would penalize businesses that move jobs overseas. In addition, the law would require tariffs to be imposed on imported goods that are cheaper than similar goods made in the United States. Many corporations and small businesses are in favor of raising tariffs.

Opponents of the proposed law believe freer trade promotes economic progress because it makes more sense to buy goods from a country that makes them less expensively and use the country‟s resources to make other products. A tariff may save jobs in a particular industry, but other jobs will not be created. Furthermore, prohibiting American companies from having operations overseas means the companies will be reluctant to hire people domestically and will lay off highly paid workers in their quest to cut costs.

THIRD SCENARIO: Business lobbyists believe the current government is anti-business. They also think competition is making it difficult to make a profit. They believe it’s time for the government to help businesses through subsidies and incentives for consumers to buy their products. They also want the government to suspend antitrust laws and make new rules and regulations that would make it more difficult for small businesses to compete unfairly with large, well-established corporations. According to the lobbyists, helping business will improve everyone’s lives.

What would Adam Smith say? Why?

FOURTH SCENARIO: “Stop Government Now” is a group that believes there is no legitimate role for government except providing for police and fire protection. Members believe almost all governmental functions should be privatized. Markets should not be regulated. Members say markets may be greedy, but free markets make us all more moral.

Stock splits:
iren [92.7K]

Answer: a. Allow management to conserve cash, give stockholders more shares, and cause no change in total assets, liabilities, or stockholders' equity.

Explanation:

Stock Splits increase the number of shares a company without actually changing their market capitalization by simply dividing the shares available.

There are a bunch of reasons to do this but one of them is to conserve cash. By splitting stock, managers can conserve cash by not paying dividends but still proving that the company can still pay dividends. The Shareholders getting MORE stock would be the reward.

Since Stock splits don't change the Market Capitalization, they don't have an effect on Equity either and by extension Assets and Liabilities.
