Answer:

The answer is: I would do a cost benefit analysis to try to determine which option is the best.

Explanation:

In a cost-benefit analysis you examine the pros and cons of taking an action. You estimate all the costs involved in taking that action and all the possible benefits (or profits) that you will receive by taking that action.

A company will usually perform cost benefit analysis to try to decide which investments to make. For instance, I have $1 million to invest in different projects, my cost benefit analysis should tell me in which projects I should invest that return the largest profit.

If you are trying to decide how can you lose weight more efficiently, you would first estimate the costs of each activity. How much time you are going to spend? How much you have to pay or are they free?

Then  you also estimate what benefits you might get form doing each activity. How much weight can I lose by doing each one? Can I save money by doing them? Will I enjoy doing it?

After you have estimated all possible outcomes, you will be able to decide which, if any, activity or activities you should do to lose some weight.

Investment can be increased both by reducing taxes on private saving and by reducing the government budget deficit.
Romashka [77]

Answer:

1. Increasing

2. A. The elasticity of private saving with respect to the after-tax real interest rate

B. The response of private saving to changes in the government budget deficit

C. The elasticity of investment with respect to the interest rate

Explanation:

1. It is difficult to implement both of these policies at the same time because reducing taxes on private spending has the effect of <u><em>Increasing</em></u> the government budget deficit.

A Government budget deficit is acquired when the government spends more than it earns. The Government earns money from taxes and if it spends more than it receives in taxes, that will lead to a deficit. If taxes on Private spending are reduced, this will lead to less tax revenue for the government thereby increasing the Deficit.

2. All of the listed options are useful in determining which policy would be a more effective way to raise investment.

The elasticity of private saving with respect to the after-tax real interest rate refers to how much private saving changes in reaction to a change in the tax rates. This can enable one decide how much investment will be expected if the Government reduces or increases taxes.

The response of private saving to changes in the government budget deficit is also a useful factor to look at because private savings reduce when government deficits reduce.

Also how much does investment change by due to interest rates. This will be important to note in terms of Private Investment to see if it will be beneficial to use it over reducing the government budget deficit given a certain interest rate.
