Answer: the options are added below:

A. market forces would quickly direct an economy back to full employment.

B. lower wages would cause the central bank to reduce the money supply and thereby prolong the recession.

C. lower wages would stimulate inflation and thereby prolong the recession.

D. powerful trade unions and large corporations made wages highly inflexible.

The correct option is D.

Explanation: A Trade Union is also known as a labour union and it is an association of workers in a particular trade, industry, or company that is created for the aim of negotiating improvements in wages and salaries, benefits, better working conditions, or social and political status through collective bargaining.

The view of Keynes is that the trade unions that have become powerful have, in conjunction with large corporations, made wages highly inflexible.

What this means is that they always make sure that there will be no supply of labor if the wages are low, therefore Keynes is of the view that lowering wages will not direct a recessionary economy back to full employment, rather, increasing the wages will ensure that the trade unions and large corporations supply labor and therefore increase employment.

bazaltina [42]

Answer: $3,940

Explanation:

Purchase from Diamond

The company received a discount of 2% because they paid within 10 days as per the terms of the sale.

Cost of inventory from Diamond:

= (Cost of goods - Returns) * (1 - 2%)

= (4,100 - 1,100) * 98%

= $2,940

Purchase from Club

Discount period expired so the full $1,000 is paid.

Total inventory cost:

Papessa [141]

Answer:

Ans. The value of investment after 2 years is $3,155.51

Explanation:

Hi, first we need toconvert that 9.80 percent, compounded quarterly into an effective quarterly rate, that is just by dividing by 4, since there are 4 quarters in a year, that is:

r(effective quarterly)= 9.8%/4 =2.45%

Now, since the rate is effective quarterly, the periods (time of the invesmet) has to be in quarters, so we multiply 2 years by 4 and we get 8 quarters.

With all the above information, we can go ahead and use the following formula in order to find the future value of this investment.

$FutureValue=PresentValue*(1+r)^{n}$

It should all look like this.

$FutureValue=2,600*(1+0.0245)^{8}=3,155.51$

So, the future value of this investment is $3,155.51

Best of luck.

PAC money is directed primarily toward: a. liberal candidates regardless of whether they are incumbents or challengers b. congre

pogonyaev

Answer:

E) Congressional incumbents

Explanation:

PAC money is directed primarily toward congressional incumbents, and this can easily be verified on the web. For example, both Nancy Pelosi, a democrat, and Brian Fritzpatrick, a republican, are among the top incumbents by number of money received from PACs, thus, party affiliation is not as important as it is incumbent status.

This is probably because incumbents are more likely to win elections, whether in the senate, the house, or even, the presidency.
