Answer:
A). Decrease the money supply so interest rates rise.
Explanation:
This could be explained simply because change in money supply results in changes in price levels and/or a change in supply of goods and services. An increase in money supply results in a decrease in the value of money because an increase in money supply causes a rise in inflation. As inflation rises, the purchasing power, or the value of money, decreases.
A change in interest rates is one way to make that correspondence happen. A fall in interest rates increases the amount of money people wish to hold, while a rise in interest rates decreases that amount. A change in prices is another way to make the money supply equal the amount demanded.
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
A. (a, the area between the diagonal line and the lorenz curve divided by the total area below the diagonal line)
B. (a, a perfectly unequal income distribution will have a Gini ration of 1.)
C. (a, more equal)
Explanation:
A. Gini ratio can be defined as the statistical determination of the wealth and income distribution among a country's populace. 
It can also be called Gini coefficient or Gini index, and it is a measure of the inequality in income and wealth distribution.
The Gini ration is calculated by finding the difference between the Lorenz curve and the uniform distribution line, then divided by the total area under the uniform distribution line. A Gini ration of <0.2 is the perfect income equality. 
B. Gini ratio cannot exceed 1 because a perfectly unequal income distribution will have a Gini ratio of 1. This means that the line of equality does not move irrespective of whether or not the Lorenz curve changes. 
C. If the Gini ratio declines from 0.42 to 0.35, then that means that income has become more equal. Note that a Gini ratio of <0.2 signifies a perfect income distribution, slightly greater than 0.2 to ).35 signifies that income distribution is close to equality.

Answer:
The answer is 14.87%
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
A large company stock had an average return of =12.59%
The average risk free rate = 2.58%
A small company stocks average is =17.45
The next step is to find the risk premium on small-company stocks for this period
Thus,
The risk premium on small-company stocks = Average return on small-company stocks - average risk-free rate
So,
Risk premium on small-company stocks = .1745 - 0.258
=0.1487
Therefore the risk premium on small company stocks for the period was 14.87%
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Hidden Valley's Asset Turnover = 1.6
Explanation:
Average Total Asset = (Total Assets at the beginning of the year + Total Assets at the end of the year)/2
Average Total Asset = (450,000+550,000)/2
Average Total Asset = 1,000,0000/2 = 500,000
Asset Turnover = Net Sales / Average Total Asset
Asset Turnover = 800,000/500,000
Asset Turnover = 8/5
Asset Turnover = 1.6
