Answer:
The correct answer is B. Decrease and transfer payments increase.
Explanation:
Automatic stabilizers soften cyclic fluctuations through their effect on aggregate demand. Indeed, when the economy is in a contractive or recessive phase, the negative or very reduced economic growth generates a decrease in fiscal revenues while higher unemployment increases public expenditures. Consequently, private sector disposable income decreases less than GDP does, thus limiting the contractual effect on aggregate demand, growth and employment. Therefore, the budget balance worsens in this phase by stimulating the economy and facilitating economic recovery. In the opposite sense, in times of expansion, automatic stabilizers generate higher public revenues and lower spending, which allows to increase the public surplus - or reduce the deficit - avoiding excessive expansion that could have negative effects on cycle volatility and price stability.
Answer:
a. monopolistic elements in the economy will prevent an immediate sharp fall in prices as a result of decreasing demand
Explanation:
When there is recession the price of the factor goes down and with that, the insufficient demand for a certain good or services is eliminated. The reasoning is that the decrease in prices stimulates demand and adjust the market.
Keynes among other economist consider that unemployment increase during recessions because the nominal wages rate do not fall. As the union and worker do not want to see their wage decrease. Same is applied to prices which makes then inflexible in a downward direction.
While "supply creates its own demand" is "Says's Law" which is rejected in keynes main book "The general theory"
Hece option A is the only one which is true
Answer:
b. Call for $1,500
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
We can calculate the amount of margin call by using following formula:-
Loss of today = future contracts based total bushels × total contract × (settlement cost per bushels - future contract price per bushels)
= 5,000 cents × 6 × (390 cents - 385 cents)
= 5,000 cents × 6 × 5 cents
= 150,000 cents
And we know that
100 cents = 1 dollar
so,
150,000 cents ÷ 100 =$1,500
Initial margin $878 per future contract and maintenance margin $650 per contract, Margins of both are less than loss .So we have to pay $1,500 in initial margin.
According to the analysis, we will receive $1,500 margin call.
Therefore option (B) call for $1,500 is correct.

given data.
The trial balance
totals of the debits and credits are $2,250 debit, $2,250 credit.
<span>$1000 (cash) +
$500 (Equipment) + $750 (Salaries Expense) = $2,250 Debit
$350 (Accounts Payable) + $900 (Capital) + $1000 (Service Fees) = $2,250 Credit</span>
