Answer:

Reserve requirements – Reserve requirement increases to decrease the money supply or vice versa.

Open-market activities – the Fed sell the securities to reduce money supply or purchase it to increase the money supply.

Discount rates – Decrease the discount rate to increase the money supply or vice versa.

Explanation:

The Federal Reserve increases or decreases the money supply by using various tools. So in the case of the reserve requirement, the bank increases the percentage of reserve requirement if the Fed wants to decrease the money supply and to increase the money supply it reduces the reserve requirements. In the case of open market operations, the Fed sells securities and bonds in the market in order to reduce the supply of money or to decrease the supply of money it buys the securities from the market.

In the case of a discount rate, the Fed reduces the discount rate to increase the money supply because reducing the discount rate will induce the banks to give more loans. But to decrease the money supply, the Fed increases the discount rate because an increase in the discount rate reduces the ability of banks to give loans.

Leno4ka [110]

The answer to the blank space is green-oriented.

Green-oriented products are also known as environmental-friendly products, which means either the product is created from raw materials that will not cause harm upon use or disposal to the environment, or that the product is created through a process that does not impact the environment in a harmful manner.

In the Frito-Lay’s case of snack food manufacturing, it is clear that this is the second type of environmental-friendly product, since the product is partially produced using solar power which leads to less harmful pollution for the environment.

What are the kinds of purchases for which you’ll "spare no expense"? What kinds of purchases do you want to buy spending as litt
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

"Spare no Expense" Purchases

When purchasing long-term items (assets) which cannot be consumed within a short-term period, one tends to "spare no expense."  These purchases are dictated by their quality and not price.  For example, in constructing a building an individual or an entity does not consider the price as a deciding factor.  Instead, the entity goes for the best quality at whatever price.  In such a situation, it can be described as "sparing no expense" because it can spend as possible as is needed to ensure that the quality of the construction was of the highest standard.  A wealthy man does not spare any expense to receive medical treatment.  Vacationists spare no expense to go on vacation

These purchases or items come with high prices and they last longer than a year.

On the other hand, one does not want to spend much resources on goods that are not durable.  So, the person involved tend to spend as little as possible.  No one wants to buy expensive food items.  But, the same person can pay for an exorbitant car.  No one wants to expend much resources on inner wears, but the same person can spend thousand for the outer wears, to put up appearances.

Ostentatious goods that convey image attract higher prices much more than private goods that others co not care whether you use them or not.  This accords with our human natural way of believing in appearances.

The major factors that differentiate between these two categories that drive our attitude regarding price include:

a) Scarcity, b) Longevity, c) Quality, d) Price, e) Durability, f) Ostentation

Explanation:

The expression "spare no expense" means to spend as much financial resources as needed in order to make something happen or bring about an outcome.
