Is it possible to decrease inflation without causing a recession and its concomitant increase in unemployment? The orthodox answ

er is "no." Whether they support the "inertia" theory of inflation (that today's inflation rate is caused by yesterday's inflation, the state of the economic cycle, and external influences such as import prices) or the "rational expectations" theory (that inflation is caused by workers' and employers' expectations, coupled with a lack of credible monetary and fiscal policies), most economists agree that tight monetary and fiscal policies, which cause recessions, are necessary to decelerate inflation. They point out that in the 1980's, many European countries and the United States conquered high (by these countries' standards) inflation, but only by applying tight monetary and fiscal policies that sharply increased unemployment. Nevertheless, some governments' policymakers insist that direct controls on wages and prices, without tight monetary and fiscal policies, can succeed in decreasing inflation. Unfortunately, because this approach fails to deal with the underlying causes of inflation, wage and price controls eventually collapse, the hitherto-repressed inflation resurfaces, and in the meantime, though the policymakers succeed in avoiding a recession, a frozen structure of relative prices imposes distortions that do damage to the economy's prospects for long-term growth.
The passage suggests that the high inflation in the United States and many European countries in the 1980’s differed from inflation elsewhere in which of the following ways?(A) It fit the rational expectations theory of inflation but not the inertia theory of inflation.(B) It was possible to control without causing a recession.(C) It was easier to control in those countries by applying tight monetary and fiscal policies than it would have been elsewhere.(D) It was not caused by workers’ and employers’ expectations.(E) It would not necessarily be considered high elsewher

Answer:

The answer is: E) It would not necessarily be considered high elsewhere

Explanation:

Usually the inflation rate in the US and Europe is around 1-3%. In the early 1980's the US inflation rate was above 10% so it was considered huge. But if you consider it against inflation rates in other countries, like Argentina for example, which currently has an annual inflation rate of over 60% then it wasn't that big. During the 1980's many countries suffered from hyperinflation, with monthly inflation rates of over 50%.

So the high inflation rate in the US and Europe wasn't necessarily high for other countries.

When a company exchanges 200 shares of stock worth $20 each for 100 shares worth $40 each, they are using?
Stels [109]
When a company exchanges 200 shares of stock worth $20 each for 100 shares worth $40 each, they are using reverse stock split. 
A reverse stock split is a corporate action in which a firm or a company reduces the number of shares it has outstanding by a set multiple. For example, if a company announces a reverse stock split of 1:50, this means that once the split occurs investors will receive one share for every 100 shares they own.

Use the following information to answer the next three questions.
nalin [4]

Answer:

The  alignment of numbers in the first part of the question is off. However, you solve this question as shown below. The correct answer is C. $1,124.

Explanation:

This is a one-time cashflow type of question where the principal amount is invested once and no other addition is made to the account. You use the future value formula to solve the result of the compounding effect at year 3.

FV formula;

FV = PV(1+r)^n

PV = 800

discount rate; r = 12% or 0.12

total duration of investment; n = 3

therefore; FV = 800(1+0.12)^3

FV = 800 * 1.404928

FV = 1123.94

To the nearest whole dollar, the amount will grow to $1,124
