As a member of the Federal Reserve Board, in an inflationary situation I would suggest a change in the federal funds rate that would be accomplished by raising the base interest rate of the US economy. This would make bonds more attractive and people would stop consuming to invest in public debt securities. In addition, raising interest rates would discourage credit, causing banks to lend less. Since inflation is a monetary phenomenon caused by the excess of currency in circulation, these measures would have a downward effect on inflation, as they reduce the amount of money in circulation in the economy.

If marginal product is greater than average product:
babunello [35]

Answer:

(D). Average product must be rising.

Explanation:

Average product is gotten by dividing the total product of a firm, by the labor quantity (such as the number of workers). This gives the average product per worker.

Marginal product shows the change in total productivity caused by an additional unit of labor (such as a newly hired worker).

If the extra productivity brought about by an additional worker (marginal product) is higher than the average productivity per worker in a firm (the average product), then this marginal productivity, when added to the total, will raise the average productivity of the firm.

This explains why "average product must be rising as long as marginal product is greater than it."

Similarly, once marginal productivity drops below average productivity, then average product starts to decline.

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

A. Additivity

Explanation:

Additivity simply means that the values of an objective function and total resources used can be found by adding all the contributions made by the objective functions and the decision variables of all resources used. That is, it assumes that the overall of an objective function is found by adding the contribution of each objective function to the overall.

Papessa [141]

Answer:

Date of selling machine is 31 Dec 2021, then gain of $47,000

If date of selling this machine is 31 Dec 2012 (used tenor: 4 years), then gain of 2,000

Explanation:

Depreciation per year = (original cost $80,000  - residual value $5,000)/ useful life of 10 years

= $7,500 per year

Date of purchase: January 1, 2009

Date of sold:  December 31, 2021

⇒ Actual life of this machine = 13 years, but the maximum depreciation as accounting rule is for 10 year only

After 13 years, the book value = original cost - depreciation booked

= $80,000 - $7,500*10 = $5,000

Gain/ Loss =  sold price - boo value = $52,000 - $5,000 = $47,000

If date of selling this machine is 31 Dec 2012 (used tenor: 4 years), then we have:

Gain/ Loss = sold price - book value

= $52,000 - ($80,000 - $7,500*4) = 2,000
