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.

Answer:

A

Explanation:

in this question, we are to select from the options which is the correct answer.

Option A is the correct answer

This is because the fed introduced monetary policy and it’s only implemented to offset the effect so he would be able to relax the effect of recession and high expansion it only suggest mid way to offset the effect of low and high economic activities.

Goals and objectives should be set ________.Multiple Choiceat the beginning of marketing planningat the end of the situation ana
storchak [24]

Answer:

Option D. After completion of market research, situation analysis, and competitor analysis

Explanation:

The reason is that the company always sets objectives and goals when it analyzes the business environment, the way competitor would react, product demand, etc and all these things come from market research, situation analysis, competitor analysis, position analysis, capability analysis, etc. This gives a clear picture where the organization must head towards. So after completion of these analysis and research, company is able to set goals.

Always remember that the company sets its goals before marketing planning (Option A) and after situation analysis (Option B) because it helps define what number of sales we need which formulates the marketing planning.

Option C is incorrect because strategies are set after the objectives and goals are set because the strategies are always alligned with the objectives and goals.

Option E is incorrect because Goals and Objectives are set always after the SWOT and PESTLE analysis not during these studies.

Here the only only option with broader meaning is option D which also includes the Option A and Option B.

On January 2, 20X1, Cole Co. signed an eight-year noncancelable lease for a new machine, requiring $15,000 annual payments at th
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Cole should record amortization expense for the leased machine at $9,000.

Explanation:

Machine cost would be recorded in book at = present value of Aggregate lease payments

Machine cost would be recorded in book at = $108,000

Depreciation (amortization) expense for the leased machine in first year= (Machine cost - salvage value)/Useful life

Depreciation (amortization) expense for the leased machine in  first year= ($108,000 - 0)/12

Depreciation (amortization) expense for the leased machine in  first year= $ 9,000

Therefore, Cole should record amortization expense for the leased machine at $9,000.
