Answer: Consumption and investment spending decrease or falls.

Explanation:

When the Federal Reserve decreases the money supply, this will lead to a fall in the consumption and investment spending. This is a contractionary policy by the government which is typically used to curb inflation.

Since there's reduction in money supply, there'll be less money in circulation and hence, decrease in consumption and investment expenditure.

Allushta [10]

Answer:

weighted-average shares outstanding: 1,075,000

Explanation:

We need to multiply by the shares movements by the months remaining to complete the year. Thus, assinging a weight to each share.

Jan 1st: 375,000 x 12/12(all year) = 375,000

March 1st: 750,000 x 10/12(from March 1st to Dec 31th) = 625,000

May 1st: 20% stock dividends: (375,000 + 750,000) x 20% x 8/12 =

225,000 x 8/12(May 1st to Dec 31th) = 150,000

August 1st: (420,000) x 5/12(August 1st to Dec 31th) = (175,000)

November 1st: 600,000 x 2/12(November 1st to Dec 31th) = 100,000

375,000 + 562,500 + 150,000 - 175,000 + 100,000 = 1,075,000

All of the following statements about the economic philosophy in Texas are true EXCEPT

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

The answer is: B) The median wage in Texas is much higher than the national average. THIS STATEMENT IS FALSE.

Explanation:

If you take the facts from the Census ACS 1 year survey, the median household income in Texas is $59,206 (2017 data) and a median hourly wage of $17,06 (2016 data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics).

If you compare those numbers with the national average, the US median household income is $60,336 (the national average is $1,130 higher than the Texas median household income). Historically the Texas median household income has been lower than the national average.

If we consider the median hourly wage in Texas of $17,06 (2016 data) and we compare to the national hourly wage of $17,81 (2016 data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics) we can clearly see it´s also lower. The top ten states with the highest median hourly wage are: Alaska, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Washington, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, California, Minnesota, Hawaii, with hourly wages ranging from $22.68 to $19.24

Consider two scenarios for a nation's economic growth. Scenario A has real GDP growing at an average annual rate of 3.5 percent;

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

20 years (scenario A) and 16 years (scenario B)

Explanation:

The real GDP will double in "n" number of years, with "n" estimated by interpolation using the formula below.

$current GDP * (1+Growth Rate)^{n} = 2 * current GDP$

In the solutions below, we assumed current GDP to be 1, and as a result, the GDP will double to 2.

Scenario A

$1 * (1+0.35)^{n} =2$

When you substitute 20 for "n" in the left hand side (LHS) of the equation, you will arrive at 1.99 which is approximately equal to 2. Any number below 20 will result in a number less than 2.

Thus, with an average annual real GDP growth rate of 3.5%, real GDP will double in about 20 years.

Scenario B

$1 * (1+0.45)^{n} =2$

When you substitute 16 for "n" in the left hand side (LHS) of the equation, you will arrive at 2.02 which is approximately equal to 2. Any number below 16 will result in a number less than 2.

Thus, with an average annual real GDP growth rate of 4.5%, real GDP will double in about 16 years.
