When the Federal Reserve sells treasury bonds to a bank, the money supply is decreased. Since there are smaller available funds for the bank to loan (they have tied up some cash by buying the bonds), the interest rate the bank charges (all other things EQUAL!) will increase.

Basically, what has happened is that the bank has lent money to the federal government, rather than to other lenders. So if it has no other sources of lendable funds AND borrowers don't have other banks to go to that are charging the current rate, the same number of borrowers competing for a smaller amount of borrowable funds will lead to a higher price, (interest rate) for those loans.

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Total variable cost if 4 units were produced

= $33.75 x 4 units = $135

Total fixed cost = Total cost - Total variable cost

Total fixed cost = $175 -$135

Total fixed cost = $40

Average fixed cost = Total fixed cost/No of units

Average fixed cost = $40/10 units

Average fixed cost = $4

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

In this case, we need to calculate the total variable cost on the ground that 4 units were produced. Then, we will determine the total fixed cost by deducting the total variable cost from total cost. Finally, we will divide the total fixed cost by 10 units in order to obtain the average fixed cost.
