The number of jobs available in the U.S. economy is largely determined by the number of workers private firms choose to hire. In

2016, firms employed 124 million people. The Federal Reserve is part of the federal government and hires relatively few people, about 22,000 in 2016. Even if the Fed doubled or tripled its work force, it would have little impact on employment levels, yet economists strongly link actions of the Fed to the level of total employment in the economy. Carefully explain how the Fed is able to affect the level of total employment in the economy. Be sure to include all relevant actions the Fed can take in affecting total employment.

Answer:

The Federal Reserve is in charge of the monetary policy in the United States. It expands or reduces the money supply (the total amount of money in the economy) by raising or lowering the interest rate.

There is a relationship, in the short run, between unemployment and money supply. The higher the money supply, the lower the unemployment rate, and viceversa: the lower the money supply, the higher the unemployment rate.

This relationship exists because when the money supply increases, the interest rate falls, if the interest rate falls, investing becomes cheaper, and as a result, firms invest more and hire more workers.

The opposite happens when the money supply is contracted: interest rates rise, investing becomes more expensive, and firms hire less people.

This is why the Fed has a great deal of power when it comes to employment in the economy.

dexar [7]

Answer:

a. Counterclaim

Explanation:

Counterclaim is a claim by a defendant (the person be sued) against the plaintiff (the person who sues first).

Lyn is the plaintiff, who first sued Karl (the defendant). Karl's claim against the original plaintiff (Lyn) is an example of a counterclaim.

Another example is counterclaim by the city of Sandy Springs against Holder Construction Group, the company that built the city of Sandy Springs’ new City Springs complex.

Holder Construction Group earlier sued Sandy Springs city over disagreements on payments for the work.

The city filed a counterclaim to a superior Court, claiming that Holder Group should be denied payments until all work is done and for breach of contract, negligent construction and fraud.

Falcon Co. produces a single product. Its normal selling price is $29 per unit. The variable costs are $15 per unit. Fixed costs
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

$11,760

Explanation:

The sales less the variable cost gives the contribution margin. The contribution margin less the fixed cost gives the net operating income/profit.

Without the new offer

Profit = 5000($29 - $15) - $20,900

= $70,000 - $20,900

= $49,100

For the new order a variable selling cost of $2 per unit would be eliminated, the contribution of the order will be

= 1680($20 - $15 + $2)

= 1680 * $7

= $11,760

This is the differential effect on profit.
