Answer:
Yes.
Explanation:
Market rate of exchange of jello for pie:
= Price of a piece of apple pie ÷ Price of jello
= $3.75 ÷ $1.25
= 3.00
At his current consumption point, Nick's marginal rate of substitution (MRS) of jello for pie = 3
Since MRS = Px/Py, hence, at this point of consumption bundle he is having a maximum level of utility.
Therefore, there is no need to change his consumption bundle because he is already at his maximum level.
Answer: C
Explanation: C. Holds reserve balances for depository institutions; The Federal Reserve Bank. The Federal Reserve operates with a sizable balance sheet that includes a large number of distinct assets and liabilities. The Federal Reserve's balance sheet contains a great deal of information about the scale and scope of its operations. For decades, market participants have closely studied the evolution of the Federal Reserve's balance sheet to understand more clearly important details concerning the implementation of monetary policy. Over recent years, the development and implementation of a number of new lending facilities to address the financial crisis have both increased complexity of the Federal Reserve's balance sheet and has led to increased public interest in it.
Each week, the Federal Reserve publishes its balance sheet, typically on Thursday afternoon around 4:30 p.m. The balance sheet is included in the Federal Reserve's H.4.1 statistical release, "Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks," available on this website. The various tables in the statistical release are described below, an explanation of the important elements in each table is given, and a link to each table in the current release is provided. The Federal Reserve System is composed of several layers. It is governed by the presidentially appointed board of governors or Federal Reserve Board (FRB). Twelve regional Federal Reserve Banks, located in cities throughout the nation, regulate and oversee privately owned commercial banks.[15][16][17] Nationally chartered commercial banks are required to hold stock in, and can elect some of the board members of, the Federal Reserve Bank of their region. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) sets monetary policy. It consists of all seven members of the board of governors and the twelve regional Federal Reserve Bank presidents, though only five bank presidents vote at a time (the president of the New York Fed and four others who rotate through one-year voting terms). There are also various advisory councils. Thus, the Federal Reserve System has both public and private components.
Answer:
Equilibrium price to be indeterminate from the information given, but equilibrium quantity to rise.
Explanation:
The recent rains resulted in an increase in demand for kayaks so the equillibrum quantity demanded will rise. Supply will also rise to meet the increased demand.
However we are unable to determine if the price will rise or fall with the given information.
Plastic is cheaper now so kayaks will also be cheaper. On the other hand increase in demand naturally causes an increase in price. So the cheaper price of kayaks will need to be compared with price increases as a result of increased demand to determine if equillibrum price will rise or fall.
Answer:
50,000
Explanation:
Hughes Corporation can calculate the incremental cash outflow required to acquire the new machine by just deducting the sales proceeds from the cost of the new machine.
DATA
New machine = $150,000
Old machine = 100,000
Cash outflow per year (18,000 - 10,000) = 8,000
Salvage value = 25,000
Annuity factor = 8%
Solution
Incremental Cash outflow = Cost of new machine - Sales proceeds from old machine
Incrementa Cash outflow = 150,000 - 100,000
Incremental Cash outflow = $50,000
