Answer:

The sentence is unethical if there is a clear responsability on the mistakes. If the mistakes were made, and no one can be truly held accountable for that, then, the sentence is not unethical.

Explanation:

For example, if the government is corrupt, and officials actively commit embezzlement, the phrase "mistakes were made" is unethical because it is diverting the personal responsability of the corrupt officials.

But if for example, there is a volcano eruption, and the goverment tries its best to avoid casualties, but because of some involuntary mistakes some people still die, the phrase is not unethical because the mistakes were not voluntary and the consequences of those were not intended.

anastassius [24]

Answer:

The appropriate solution is "100 billion".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Recessionary gap (Total change),

= $500

Marginal propensity consume (MPC),

= 0.8

Now,

Multiplier will be:

= \frac{1}{1-MPC}

On putting the value of MPC, we get

= \frac{1}{1-0.8}

= 5

As we know,

⇒ Total \ change=Government \ spending's \ increase\times Multiplier

⇒ Government \ spending's \ increase=\frac{Total \ change}{Multiplier}

On substituting the values, we get

⇒                                                       =\frac{500}{5}

⇒                                                       =100 \ billion

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Congressman Smith's bill because it will reduce the overuse of the parks

Explanation:

When people use the park, their activities are more likely to create some sort of degradation to the parks quality. For example, children can spoil their drinks and foods there, pulling out the grass, destroying the land while playing sports, etc.

As the price of a certain product increase, the demand for that product would decrease. Increasing the entrance fees will lead  lesser amount of people who enter the park. This will minimize the degradation process
