Answer: Stimulating the aggregate demand in the economy.
Explanation:
When former President Obama took over the governing of the nation in 2009, the country was in the midst of one of the worst global depressions that it had ever been through. Employment was high and aggregate demand was low.
President Obama therefore embarked on an expansionary fiscal policy by passing the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act which was to target certain sectors of the economy with the view of increasing investment in those sectors and consumption so that Aggregate demand can be stimulated in the economy as those two things are components of Aggregate demand.
Answer:
13.17%
Explanation:
Given that;
Net income = $30,955
Asset at the beginning of the year = $212,000
Asset at the end of the year = $258,000
Return on assets = Net income / Average total assets
But,
Average total assets = (Assets at the beginning of the year + Assets at the end of the year ) / 2
Average total assets = ($212,000 + $258,000) / 2
Average total assets = $235,000
Therefore,
Return on assets = ($30,955 / $235,000) × 100
Return on assets = 13.17%
A tax that is considered fair by most people in a society is where the tax rate is progressive so that the more a person earns the higher rate of tax they pay and on the opposite end of the scale those with low income should pay very little if any. The other very important factor which is involved is is what are the taxes spent on? If they are mainly spent on meeting the needs of the most dispossessed people plus the basic needs of the general society for health care, education and housing then that is very important too.
