Answer:

The answer is: decrease taxes by $100 billion.

Explanation:

If the real GD is $200 billion, which represents only 40% of full employment GDP, then the government should try to increase consumer spending either by decreasing taxes or increasing government spending, or a combination of both.

In this case, I chose the tax decrease since government have budget limitations and they can only decrease taxes by so much before hitting a deficit. Additionally, when you have a large tax reduction, usually government spending either stays the same or decreases.

If the government decreases taxes by $100 billion, the marginal propensity to consume shall result in a $75 billion increase in consumption. According to the Keynesian Multiplier theory, that $75 billion should generate additional production, creating a virtuous cycle that should increase the real GDP in a larger proportion.

Darya [45]

Answer:

c. make an accurate diagnosis of what is causing the problem

Explanation:

The manager of the fast-food restaurant should understand the underlying problem first. Working on the assumption that it's because of a competitor marketing campaign may not give the desired results.  A customer's preference may change due to many reasons.

The manager should make an accurate diagnosis of the problem first. With a precise reason as to why customers as fleeing, then he can develop a counter-strategy. Retaining the current member of the crew will not reverse the situation. Reducing prices may affect profitability, which is not the desired result. With low prices, some customers may question the quality of the breakfast.

You just sold 300 shares of stock at a price of $42.06 a share. You purchased the stock for $39.80 a share and have received tot
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

$678

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of shares sold = 300

Selling price of each share = $42.06

Cost of purchasing shares = $39.80 per share

Total dividend received = $1,272

We can easily determine the total capital gain on this investment by comparing the sales value and purchase value of this stock.

Total capital gain on this investment:

= Sales value - Purchase value

= (Number of units × Selling price per unit) - (Number of units × cost of purchasing per share)

= (300 × $42.06) - (300 × $39.80)

= $12,618 - $11,940

= $678

They are mostly focused on the physical appearance.
