Answer:

tax increased = $22.22 billion

so correct option is 3. increase taxes by $22.22 billion.

Explanation:

given data

real GDP = $500 billion

employment GDP = $300 billion

marginal propensity = 0.9

solution

we know here that Inflationary gap will be

Inflationary gap = Real GDP - Full-employment GDP

Inflationary gap = $(500 - 300) billion

Inflationary gap = $200 billion

and tax Multiplier is

Tax Multiplier  = \frac{- marginal propensity}{1 - 0.9}

Tax Multiplier  = -9

here negative sign means that decrease real GDP by $9

so tax should be increased by $1

so we can say that decrease real GDP by $200 billion

and  tax should be increased = \frac{200 billion}{9}  

tax increased = $22.22 billion

so correct option is 3. increase taxes by $22.22 billion.

Which of these options for saving money offers the lost liquidity?
daser333 [38]

The option of saving money that offers the most liquidity is a piggy bank. (option C)

<h3>What is liquidity?</h3>

Liquidity can be described as the ease with which an asset can easily be converted to cash. Paper currency and coins is the most liquid assets. Real estate is illiquid because it takes a long time for a real estate asset (e.g a house) to be sold and proceeds converted to cash.

Liquid assets earn less returns when compared with assets that are less liquid. This is because illiquid assets earn an illiquidity premium. An illiquidity premium compensates holders for holding an illiquid asset.

Money in a piggy bank is already in cash or coins and there is no need to convert it to cash again. Also, money in a piggybank is more accessible than the other options.

Melanie is very concerned with avoiding late fees. The table shows her choices for paying her bills. Method Bill Payment Methods
sp2606 [1]
<span>The answer is 3 Set up automatic payments. Automatic payments can be done through direct access to ATM that receives the salary or bank account. This can help people like Melanie to avoid having trouble with late payments that would incur penalties. Paying by check would not be a good option because you should make sure there is enough money to pay for that purchase if not there could be more trouble. Paying through phone or online payments are sometimes delayed before it reaches the concerned company.
