Answer: The correct option is A. The Fed can only soften the magnitude of recessions, not eliminate them.

Explanation: A recession is a term that refers to a period where there is a significant decline in economic activities that is spread across the economy, that will more than a few months, and is normally visible in real GDP, real income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales.

To answer the question above therefore, recessions cannot be eliminated because there will always be a decline in economic activities, hence, the best that the Fed can do is to soften the effects of recessions.

This can be done in various ways which include:

- Lowering interest rates.

- Lowering capital requirements

- Quantitative easing.

The difference between the minimum price at which a producer is willing and able to sell a unit of a good or service and the pri
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Seller Surplus

Explanation:

In business terms, there is a difference in the expected value what a seller expects to receive from the products it sells and from the amount it actually earns.

The cost of the product not only involves the monetary cost but it also involves the cost in terms of efforts involved to produce an article.

When a seller puts a product in the market, then he tries to have it a market value more than its cost. When such market value is realised then the difference in cost and market value is surplus for the supplier or producer.

But in cases where the consumer is efficient enough to bargain such product and only pays an amount which is less than the cost, then there arises seller deficit, which is represented as a negative seller surplus.
