Answer:
1) If the Fed sells $2 million of government bonds, the economy’s reserves Decrease by $2 million, and the money supply will Decrease by $16 million.
2) The money multiplier will remain unchanged. True
3) As a result, the overall change in the money supply will remain unchanged. True
Explanation:
1.) We have the reserve requirement for checking deposits as 12.5% with banks not holding any excess reserves.
To calculate Money Multiplier:
Money Multiplier = 
= 
= 8
If the Fed sells $2 million of bonds, reserves will decrease by $2 million and the money supply will decrease by 8 x $2 million = $16 million.
2) and 3) Now the Fed lowers the reserve requirement to 10 percent, but banks choose to hold another 2.5 percent of deposits as excess reserves.
To calculate Money Multiplier:
Money Multiplier = = 
= 8
Money multiplier is 8 same as in 1) Therefore the statements: "The money multiplier will remain unchanged" and "As a result, the overall change in the money supply will remain unchanged" are both True.

Increases in direct proportion to the number of hours the lawn equipment is operated.
Explanation:
Variable costs refer to those costs which vary or change with the level of production output. Such costs rise as production level increases and fall with decrease in the production level.
Examples of variable costs would include direct labor cost which varies with the number of hours worked, or sales commission which varies w.r.t the volume of sales effected by a salesperson.
In the given case, the cost incurred on gasoline, which is used as fuel for lawn equipment, would be classified as a variable cost if, such cost increases when lawn equipment is operated for more hours or falls when the same equipment is operated for lesser number of hours.
Thus, such costs should increase in direct proportion to the number of hours the lawn equipment is operared, to be classified as a variable cost.
