In the "dominant-minority group relations" continuum, ____ is lowest on both tolerance and equality

A. Suppose there is a surge in consumer confidence, creating an increase in aggregate demand in the economy. The Federal Reserve

Mrac [35]

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

For a, first we calculate the credit multiplier of the economy,

Credit multiplier = 1 / reserve ratio

Credit multiplier = 1 / 0.25 = 4

This means that any change in money supply will be 4 times as much in the economy, hence to induce a change of $120 billion, the Fed will decrease the money supply by 120/4 = $30 billion. This will increase the interest rates just enough to stabilize aggregate demand.

For b, we again start by calculating the credit multiplier.

Credit multiplier = 1/0.10 = 10

Since the Fed want to stimulate investment, it needs to use an expansionary monetary policy.

The Fed thus increases the money supply by 150/10 = $15 billion.

This will have the total effect of 150 billion on the whole thus achieving the Fed's objectives.

Hope that helps.

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

a. Decrease

b. Decrease

c. Decrease

d. Increase

e. Increase

Explanation:

a. When the company's cost of production increases, this reduces the amount of profits they make. A lower than expected profit margin is frowned upon in the Financial market therefore some people will sell their shares in the company which will have the effect of decreasing market value.

b. An increase in a firm's cost of financing signals an increase in the riskiness of a company. It also means that the company will be paying more on interest which will reduce profits. These 2 thing will drive some investors away thereby reducing the market value.

c. A firm's value can be found by discounting its projected sales and dividends amongst others with a certain discount rate. If a higher rate is used, the present value and hence the market value figure will be less.

d. When there is an increase in Sales revenue, it signals profitability for a company. Investors love profitable companies and will buy more of the company stock which will drive up the price.

e. Projected future profits can be used to calculate present value as well as serve as an indication of future profitability. Investors will buy more shares and drive up the market value.

The following budgeted information is provided: Month 1 2 3 Sales in units 15,000 20,000 18,000 Production in units 16,000 22,00

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Purchases= 17,200 pounds

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Production in units:

Month 1= 16,000 units

Month 2= 22,000 units

One pound of materials is required for each finished unit.

The inventory of materials at the end of each month should equal 20% of the following month's production needs.

Beginning inventory= 3,200 lbs.

To calculate the direct material required, we need to use the following formula:

Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Purchases= 16,000 + 22,000*0.2 - 3,200

Purchases= 17,200 pounds
