Answer:
Expenditures $300,000; Supplies inventory $150,000.
Explanation:
The consumption method recognizes an asset when an item is purchased and an expense when an item is used or consumed. Therefore, when supplies are first bought, Supplies Inventory has a balance of $450,000.
After using those supplies during the year, $300,000 should be debited from Supplies Inventory and credited to Expenditures.
Therefore, at fiscal year-end, the appropriate account balances on the General Fund financial statements would be: Expenditures $300,000; Supplies inventory $150,000.
Answer: b. movement along SRAS
Explanation:
When the price level changes due to an increase in the demand that forces the Aggregate demand curve to shift rightward, the immediate effect would be that the Aggregate demand curve would intersect the Short Run Aggregate supply at a new point.

Laissez faire economics advocates for less government regulation and intervention. Extreme laissez faire views dislike all types of taxes and controls. Of course something like that will never happen, but different economic policies favor certain laissez faire views.
For example, during the 1800s, many politicians believed that business owners were entitled to exploit their workers in order to make higher profits. As a result of these types of policies, 14 or 16 hour long labor days were common, no safety regulations existed, and the wages were not high. Since governments didn't regulate labor markets, businesses were able to benefit form this and increase total production.
