This is an example of a mental set, which can sometimes be a useful framework for solving problems. In Zelma's case though, her mental set is limited to certain words and she is unable to think of possibilities outside of that set.

A problem that the Fed faces when it attempts to control the money supply is that a. since the U.S. has a fractional-reserve ban
NeTakaya

Answer:

A) since the U.S. has a fractional-reserve banking system, the amount of money in the economy depends in part on the behavior of depositors and bankers.

Explanation:

Since US banks operate under a fractional reserve banking system, they have the capacity to create money through the money multiplier, e.g. you deposit $1,000 in bank A, then bank A borrows $850 to Steven and he purchases a new bike from Sarah. Then Sarah deposits the money in bank B, and bank B borrows $722 to George who buys a laptop from Henry. Henry then deposits the money in bank C, and bank C borrows $614 to Susan, and this goes on and on.

The problem that the Fed faces is that in order for the fractional reserve system to work, households must hold their money in banks. Ans that is something that the government cannot control, specially the amount or portion that is deposited. The other players are banks, that ideally should borrow all the money that they are allowed to.

The basic laws of forecasting help to avoid misapplication or misrepresentation of forecast results. Law 3 states, __________. M
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

A forecast is an estimate of the future level of some variable.

It is important to forecast because:

-Asses long-term capacity needs

-Develop budgets, hiring plans

-Plan production or order materials

There are types of forecast

Demand, depend on the firm level or the market level.

Supply, depend on number of current producers and suppliers, projected aggregate supply levels, and technological and political trends.

Price, depend on cost of supplies and services, market price for firm´s product or service.

There are 4 laws of forecasting, that help to avoid misapplication or misrepresentation of forecast results:

1-Forecast are almost always wrong by some amount (but they are still useful). Even under the best of conditions, no forecasting approach can predict the exact level of future demand, supply, or price.

2-Forecast for the near term tend to be more accurate. This law recognizes that in the near term, the factors that affect the forecast variable are not likely to change greatly.

3-Forecast for group of products or services tend to be more accurate. Many businesses have found that it is easier and more accurate to forecast for groups of products or services than it is to forecast for specific ones.

4-Forecast are no substitute for calculated values.

Two​ firms, A and B​, must each choose either a low price or a high price for their product. The payoff matrix shows the profit
ahrayia [7]

Answer: 1. A.Both firms will choose the low price.

2. B. Both firms would choose the high price.

Explanation:

1. If the firms cannot cooperate with each other and must choose simultaneously, both firms will choose the low price.

This is because at the low price both of them are at the highest profit they can make when they are not cooperating. For instance, if Firm B chooses Low Price and Firm A chooses High Price, Firm A will make $3 million while Firm be will make $8 million.

If Firm B decides to have a high price then firm A will take the low price and make $8 million in profit while Firm B makes $4 million. If they are not working together, they will both have to take the low price to make the most profit.

2. If the firms could cooperate with each​ other, both firms would choose the high price.

The is because they will be making more than competing and getting a lower profit. Should they cooperate they will each get $7 million in profit because they will pick the option they can both make the highest profit at. The is better than competing and making only $5 and $6 million respectively.

If you need any clarification do comment. Cheers.
