Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

If the restrictions on working hours are removed such that keeping other factors constant, the total number of hours worked increases. This will cause the total output to increase.  

But the workers will not be able to work efficiently for longer hours. This will cause productivity to decline.  

This happens because working for long hours will make the workers tired. Their health is negatively impacted so their productivity will decline.

In which situation would a certificate of deposit (CD) be the best banking choice
anzhelika [568]

A certificate of deposit (CD) would be the best banking choice when the interest rate is determined ahead of time and there is an assurance to get back what you put in plus interest once the CD matures.  If you leave the money alone during the investment period then the bank will pay you an interest rate slightly higher than what you would have earned in a money market or checking account. Thus, all gains from certificate of deposits are taxable as income unless they are in a tax-deferred (IRA) r tax-free (Roth IRA) account.
