Explanation:
In case the consumers have a pessimistic tendency towards the future, they would expect the economy to face a downturn. They will, as a result, save their income and wealth for the future.

An increase in consumer confidence, on the other hand, would cause consumer spending and aggregate demand to increase.
Answer: $942 U
Explanation:
Budgeted cost was $2,960 per month plus $326 per day and there were 18 days of actual activity.
Budgeted cost = 2,960 + 326 * 18
= $8,828
Variance = Budgeted cost - Actual cost
= 8,828 - 9,770
= -$942
Budgeted cost is less than Actual cost which means the Variance is UNFAVORABLE.
Answer:
$87 million
Explanation:
The projected benefit obligation (PBO) is a measurement of the present amount of money needed by a company to cover future pension liabilities. PBO uses how long the employee will work and any increased future obligations to the employee's pension.
Given that:
PBO at the beginning of the year = $80 million
Service cost for the year = $10 million
Interest = Discount rate × PBO at beginning of the year = 5% × $80 million = 0.05 × $80 million = $4 million
Actuarial (gain) Loss = Amount paid - Expected money = $5 million - $4 million = $1 million
Benefits paid paid by trustees = $6 million
The total pension expense for the year = PBO at year beginning + Service cost + interest - Actuarial (gain) Loss - benefits = $80 million + $10 million + $4 million - $1 million - $6 million = $87 million
