Answer:

A policy instrument (variable directly under the control of policy makers)

Explanation:

The Fed's discount rate is a monetary policy tool used to expand or contract the money supply.

When the Fed lowers the discount rate, it is engaging in an expansionary monetary policy which will increase the money supply, lower interest rates and increase total aggregate demand.

When the Fed raises the discount rate, it is engaging in a contractionary monetary policy which will decrease the money supply, increase interest rates and fight rising inflation.

barxatty [35]

Answer:

Sparrow Co's automobiles are premium brands that command premium prices

Explanation:

The fact that both automobile makers incurs the same cost of $9,000 is just one of many factors to consider because the processes involved in manufacturing are not necessarily the same.

Besides,the level of workforce efficiency and the state of technology deployed are not necessarily the same.

It could also be that Sparrow Co. was able to achieve same level of cost with Bison Autos because it adopted modern cost reductions techniques such as Just-In Time which eliminates the need to keep inventory, thereby  eliminating excessive costs of holding inventory.

All in all,Sparrow Co,could project itself as a maker of high-end brands and increase prices as appropriate.
