Answer:
B) The higher the reserve ratio, the smaller the money multiplier, and the more money will be created
Explanation:
The first part is true, the higher the reserve ratio, the smaller the money multiplier. The formula for the money multiplier equals 1 / r.
The second part of the sentence is wrong. If the money multiplier is small, then the amount of money "created" by banks will also be small.
The atmosphere we enjoy today is radically different from the atmosphere that formed with the Earth billions of years ago. ... As the Earth cooled enough to form a solid crust (4.4 billion years ago), it was covered with active volcanos. These volcanos spewed out gasses, like water vapor, carbon dioxide and ammonia.
Answer:
D. It is cheaper to produce some goods in the U.S. because productivity is higher here.
Explanation:
If the statement "It has been all downhill for the West since China entered the world market; we just can't compete with hundreds of millions of people willing to work for almost nothing." Fails to connect wages and productivity, it means that despite China having many people willing to work for low wages it does not mean they are more productive.
Productivity is defined as how effectively a production process is. It is the ratio between output and input used.
If China has low productivity with the large workforce it has, it will be cheaper to produce goods in the United States that has a higher productivity.
The United States will be able to maximise inputs used in the production process to give higher output.
Answer: a. True
Explanation:
The simple linear regression model is;
y = mx + c
Where,
y = dependent variable
m is the slope
x is the independent variable
c is the y- intercept
The long-term trend only Least-Squares Regression Model also follows the same format except y becomes Yt and x becomes t.
The long-term trend only Least-Squares Regression Model is therefore the same as a simple linear regression only with different variable terms.
Answer: Option A is the right answer
Explanation: Evidences in most cases has shown that MACRS is all about applying convention for one and a half year on assets. So when an entities owns 35-40% of an asset in forth quarter, Mid quarter convention will be applied for only one half of the last quarter, logically one and half month in the last quarter.
