Answer:

D. agents will immediately adjust their expectations of inflation up.

Explanation:

Expansionary monetary​ policies are geared towards stimulating economic growth. The Fed can impose lower interest rates or purchase bonds and securities in open market operations as expansionary tools. Lowering interest rates encourages banks and other lending institutions to lend money to firms and households.  

Purchasing bonds and securities adds money to the banking system. The increased money will be loaned out to businesses and individuals. The availability of low-cost credit motivates firms to borrow and expands their business capacities. When households borrow with ease, it leads to an increase in consumption expenditure.  These actions result in too much money in circulation, which is inflation.

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

The correct option is $1.14

Explanation:

D1=D0*(1+g)

D1 is year 1 dividend

g growth rate of dividend of 15%

D1=$0.54*(1+15%)

D1=$0.54*(1+0.15)

D1=$0.54*1.15

D1=$0.621 00

D2=$0.621*1.15

D2=$0.71415

We need to apply the discount factor to each of the dividends,the discount factor is 1/(1+r)^n

r is the rate of return of 11%

n is the relevant year

present value of year 1 dividend=$0.62100*1/(1+11%)^1

present value of year 1 dividend=$0.559459459

Present value of year 2=$0.71415*1/(1+11%)^2

Present value of year 2=$0.579620161

Total value present values=$0.559459459 +$0.579620161

                                            =$1.14

Answer:

Ascribed status on the or hand are statuses that an individual is born with, such as sex, race etc.

As an individual develops and interacts in a society, any particular status that makes a person well known for and easily identified with is referred to as the master status of the individual. The master status overrides other statuses of the individual. It is the status that confers a social identity that is exceptional on an individual. Master status can be ascribed or achieved.

elena-s [515]

Answer:

Net Income understated by $20,000

Explanation:

In the first year, closing inventory was overstated by $80,000. The implications of the above would be,

Net Income for the first year would be overstated by $80,000

In the Second year,

Opening Stock would be overstated by $80,000

Due to this, cost of production stands overstated by $80,000.

Now, given in the question that closing stock for second year is overstated by $60,000 i.e profits are overstated by $60,000.

This means, the net effect on profits would be, $80,000 less $60,000 i.e $20,000 understated profits for the second year.
