Answer:

B) As long as the Fed's announcement is credible, workers and firms will reduce their consumption and investment spending, which will reduce aggregate demand and reduce inflation.

Explanation:

If the FED announces that it will increase the federal funds rate, it will increase the interest that banks charge other banks for lending them money in order to  comply with the reserve ratio. This increase would make banks hand out less loans and be more careful in order to reduce their need for overnight funds.

If banks reduce their loans, their capacity for creating money will also be reduced, lowering the consumption level and investment spending of both workers (households) and private firms.

TEA [102]

Answer:

What Paul has done wrong is to place these marketing materials on seats.  He should devised a plan to give out these materials at the registration point where participants would be registered and then they would collect the items.  By placing them on the seats, some of the participants could collect more than one, especially the valuable pen that is worth $3 each.

Explanation:

Marketing materials cost the entity some funds to produce.  They should not be wasted.  In addition, the number of participants with some details like names and contact information should be captured for future marketing efforts.  Allowing participants to have free access to the marketing materials that cost so much without driving any potential customer list is not prudent.
