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.
<span>The reserve requirement, which is also referred to as the cash reserve ratio, is 25 percent. This is calculated by subtracting the $6,000 loaned out from the bank's $8,000 in deposits, yielding a reserve of $2,000. The reserve requirement is calculated by dividing $2,000 by $8,000.</span>
Answer: initially Sam gross profit would drop. But overtime when he starts gaining customers in his new branch added to the already existing customers in his old branch there would a very large gross profit increase.
Explanation: Gross profit is the percentage of revenue a company retains after accounting for cost of goods/services.
In this case payment of staffs in both the old and new branches would be accounted for, with the new branch still very much dependent on the old branch for payment of staff until it can get its own customers, only then would the new branch be able to be self reliant and also make profit.
Answer: B. Charlotte
Explanation:
Preference is given to people that live with the dependent so this puts William at the least priority because he doesn't live with Autumn thereby leaving Charlotte and her mother.
Preference is then given to the biological parents of the dependent which means that Diana is has second priority. Charlotte is therefore the the most preferred to claim her daughter as a dependent which would allow her greater tax deductions.
