Answer:

The correct answer is B)

This is almost self explanatory.

Explanation:

A tighter and more anti-inflationary monetary policy will be politically unpopular because it reduces the amount of money in circulation.

Business owners will cringe at it because the rate at which they can access capital or investible funds from the commercial banks or other financial institutions will have taken an upward spiral.

Because business owners can no longer leverage off bank funds to operate their businesses, many may lay off workers thus creating unemployment.

Those who are being unemployed have less and less to spend and, this sort of economic move will attract unsavoury political responses though it is executed for the greater good.

On the other hand,

When there is too much money in circulation, it triggers inflation, in turn, reduces the spending power of businesses and consumers.

As inflation increases, and real income (purchasing power) reduces, Labour Unions begin to agitate for increment in their labour rates or wages. This puts a strain on the businesses who either increase and suffer lower bottom lines or are forced to cut down on demand for labour to satisfy the new wage rate being demanded.

Types of bonds

aliina [53]

Answer: 1. A . Treasury bonds are not completely riskless, since their prices will decline when interest rates rise.

2. A. The New York City government

3. B. Municipal bonds

4. A. An investor from Kansas that invests in a municipal bond issued by the State of Kansas will pay neither state nor federal taxes on the bond’s coupon payments

5. B. Treasury bonds

Explanation:

1. Treasury Bonds are known as the safest bonds in the world and so are generally considered risk-less. However this is not so as they still fall victim to Interest rate risk which is the risk that their prices will decline when interest rates rise because bond prices are inversely related to price.

2. The City of New York issued to bonds in question so it is a New York City Government bond.

3. Municipal Bonds are issued by a state, county or a municipality so the above is a Municipal bond as it was issued by the City of New York.

4. Municipal Bonds attract no Federal taxes and when buying a Municipal bond as a resident of the Municipality you are in, you will.not get charged the Municipal taxes either on the bond coupon payments.

5. Default risk is the risk that the issuer will not pay back. US Treasury Bonds are known as the safest in the world and have not been defaulted on in over a century. They therefore have the lowest default risk.

If the government should impose the per unit tax, the parts that would be affected are the average variable cost and the average cost

This is the tax that is imposed per unit or on each unit of a good that has being sold or a service that has been rendered.

This is the type of tax that would affect the average variable cost and the average cost.

This type of tax is one that is proportional to the unit of the good sold. This is in terms of the quantity sold and not the price that was used to sell the good.
