Answer:

Increase by $500 m

Increase by $250 m  instead of $500 m

Explanation:

Since all the deposits over and above the reserve requirements are loaned out by the banks,

We can calculate the Credit multiplier and see how a new 50 m deposit will affect the money supply.

Credit multiplier @ 10% reserve = 1 / 0.10 = 10 times

So a new deposit of 50 m will create new money of 10 * 50 = 500 m thus increasing the money supply by this amount.

For a 20% reserve ratio, Credit multiplier changes a,

Credit Multiplier = 1 / 0.2 = 5 times

This will change the money supply by = 5 * 50 = 250 m. This is the amount of new money that will be created with reserve ratio of 20%.

Hope that helps.

When Bill's Diner moves from the production combination of 35 burgers and 25 hotdogs to the combination of 25 burgers and 65 hot
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

<h2>In the context of Consumer Theory or Indifference Curve involving two goods,the opportunity of any one good is computed by how much of the other good is foregone or sacrificed to purchase one more unit of that particular good.</h2>

Explanation:

  • In this instance,when Bill's diner consumes 35 burgers and 25 hotdogs,its opportunity cost of additional hot dog=\frac{35}{25} =\frac{7}{5}=1.4.Therefore,initially Bill diner's opportunity cost of an additional hot dog is 1.4 units of burger.
  • Now,when Bill's diner chooses to consume a combination of 25 burgers and 65 hot dogs,its opportunity cost of additional hot dogs=\frac{25}{65} =\frac{5}{13} =0.385 approximately.Hence,Bill's diner is willing to sacrifice approximately 0.385 units of burger to consume an additional unit of hot dog.
  • Now,due to the change in consumption combination,the change in opportunity cost of additional hot dog=(1.4-0.385)=1.015 units of burger.Notice,that here the opportunity cost of additional hot dog decreased from 1.4 units of burger to 0.385 units of burger as Bill's diner changed the consumption combination of both burgers and hot dogs.

Suppose a ten firm industry has total sales of​ $35 million per year. The largest firm have sales of​ $10 million, the third lar
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

0.66

Explanation:

the fourfirm concentration ratio is the sum of the concentration ratio of the four largest firms in the industry.

The sales of the second largest firm = $35 million - ( $10 million + $4 million+ $2 million + $12 million ) = $7 million

concentration ratio of firm 1 = $10 million / $35 million = 0.29

concentration ratio of firm 2  = $7 million / $35 million = 0.2

concentration ratio of firm 3 = $4 million / $35 million = 0.11

concentration ratio of firm 4 = $2 million / $35 million = 0.06

Adding the ratios together = 0.66
