Options:

b. being concerned with the stability of the banking system

c. serving as a major bank for the central government

d. setting currency exchange rates

Answer:

D) setting currency exchange rates

Explanation:

The US currently uses a floating exchange rate, which means that the value of the US dollar depends on the supply and demand of the US dollar and not any decision taken by some government entity (including the Fed).

The Fed's four main responsibilities are:

  1. control of the money supply and credit supply
  2. regulation and supervision of financial institutions
  3. serve as a banking and fiscal agent for the US government
  4. supply payment services through depository institutions

A firm has a marginal cost of $20 and charges a price of $40. The Lerner index for this firm is:________.
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

0.50 (B)

Explanation:

The Lerner index is used by monopolists to measure market/monopolist power, and it is defined as the percent markup of price over marginal cost.

It is given by the formula:

L = \frac{P - MC}{P}\\where:\\L = Lerner\ index\\P = price = \$40\\MC = marginal\ cost = \$20\\\\L = \frac{40\ -\ 20}{40} \\L = \frac{20}{40}\\ L = 0.5

Note: in a perfectly competitive market, L = 0, which makes Price = Marginal cost in the equation above. But in a competitive market, it is always the case that L ≥ 0

A new labor-saving technology will likely result in..... Group of answer choices Lower wage share of output and lower Gini coeff
jekas [21]

Answer:

Higher unemployment, lower wage share of output, and higher Gini coefficient in the long run.

Explanation:

Since less labor will be used, total unemployment will increase. Besides less labor being used, more capital will be used, so the share of labor in total output will decrease. Labor efficiency increases, since you need less labor to produce the same or even a larger amount of output.

New technologies tend to increase the wages of high skilled labor and management. Since the Gini coefficient measures income inequality, then higher wages for a few will increase inequality.  

This is an example of what is happening in the US, where highly trained labor is getting paid better every time while unskilled labor is getting paid the same as many years ago or their wage has even decreased with time. This shows how important a college education is, and the difference will only keep increasing.
