Answer:
Refer to the Article Summary. Implementing a negative interest rate policy, as is discussed in the article summary, would be designed to ___lower_____ the price level and ___improve_____ real GDP.
Explanation:
The Fed will consider negative interest rates when it wants to increase borrowing and lending during economic recessions. The effects of a negative interest rate are the reduction of the cost of borrowing economy-wide and the increase of economic activity. The increased economic activity will be achieved through increased investments and increased consumption spending. Thus, banks and consumers are encouraged to lend and borrow more money so that the economy can spend its way out of recession.
The calculated value of the Z statistic to test the potential buyer's belief at the 1% significant level is -2.57512627.
The calculated Z score is slightly greater than the critical value of -2.575, the potential buyer's view that weekly store revenues are less than $7,000 stands vindicated.
Since store revenues are assumed to be normally distributed and population standard deviation is given, we can use the Z-test. The relevant test statistic is the Z-score.
We use the following formula for calculating the Z score:
Z = (X - μ) / (σ /√n)
Substituting the relevant values we get,
Z = (6400 -7000) / (1042/√20)
Z = -600 / 232.9982833
Z = -2.57512627

The term that is most closely related to trade-off, from the list above, is: scarcity. Scarcity is the condition that moves the trade-offs, it determines the quantity of each product you need or have. So, for example, if you need a product that you don't have enough and another that you have in excess, you can exchange it with someone that have interest in your product and has the one that you need.

Answer:
1) Household consumption, which accounts for about <u>68%*</u> of the economy, grew at a 4.2% annualized rate during the second quarter of 2016.
*Data obtained from federal government sources.
2) Since household/consumer spending (consumption) represents almost 70% of the nation's GDP, any change will cause a major change in the total GDP. E.g. if consumption increases by 5%, then the whole economy will grow by 5% x 68% = 3.4%.
