Answer:
See below.
Explanation:
For a, first we calculate the credit multiplier of the economy,
Credit multiplier = 1 / reserve ratio
Credit multiplier = 1 / 0.25 = 4
This means that any change in money supply will be 4 times as much in the economy, hence to induce a change of $120 billion, the Fed will decrease the money supply by 120/4 = $30 billion. This will increase the interest rates just enough to stabilize aggregate demand.
For b, we again start by calculating the credit multiplier.
Credit multiplier = 1/0.10 = 10
Since the Fed want to stimulate investment, it needs to use an expansionary monetary policy.
The Fed thus increases the money supply by 150/10 = $15 billion.
This will have the total effect of 150 billion on the whole thus achieving the Fed's objectives.
Hope that helps.

Explanation:
The net income is the difference between the sales and total cost which comprises of the variable cost and fixed cost. The sales and variable cost are dependent on the number of units sold.
Let
u = number of units
s = selling price per unit
v = variable cost per unit
F = Fixed cost
I = Net income
I = su - F - vu
but vu = 0.3su
Hence
I = su - 0.3su - F = 0.7su - F
Given that the proposal will increase sales by $12,000,
New sales = su + 12000 ( in $)
and total fixed costs by $8,400
New fixed cost = F + 8400
New variable cost = 0.3( su + 12000) = 0.3su + 3600
New net income = su + 12000 - 0.3su - 3600 - F - 8400
= 0.7su - F
New net income is same as the old net income hence no increase.
Answer and Explanation:
Margin trades work this way because they allow them to extend the amount of money invested regardless of whether the security's price drops or rises. In a more simplified way, we can state that the margin trade allows that even if the price of a security goes up or down, the invested money presents a percentage of gain or loss much bigger than the original value. This is because this money was deposited as a loan guarantee, allowing interest to run on it, increasing it.
