Answer:
All answers are correct except Money Supply
Explanation:
Fiscal policy affects aggregate demand through government spending and taxes. Government may increase taxes to increase revenue or discourage the consumption of a product. On the flipside, they may reduce taxes to stimulate spending, redistribute income, increase aggregate demand among other objectives.
Money supply is a monetary policy and it is used by the central bank to achieve certain objectives (reduce inflation, stimulate growth, increase demand, etc.)
Government spending is a fiscal policy that government uses to achieve a set of objectives (i.e. to supply goods and services that are not provided by the market or private sector – construct bridges, provide health facilities, social programmes for the poor among others).
Taxes – Tax is a fiscal policy tool used by the government to generate revenue, encourage or discourage the consumption of certain products or affect aggregate demand through income redistribution.
Trade policy could be in the form taxes (i.e. tariffs, import duties, custom duties among others). Trade policy is a fiscal policy as government can use it to control aggregate demand by placing embargo on the importation of certain products to reduce the demand of such products in the local economy.
Answer:
increase the price of our products or services.
Explanation:
When the price elasticity is less than 1 (inelastic), then an increase in the price of our products or services will result in a proportionally smaller decrease in the quantity demanded. Therefore, by increasing our prices, we can increase total revenue even if the quantity demanded decreases a little.
Answer:
The opportunity cost of each pipe and what is the sunk cost is $77 and $67 per pipe respectively.
Explanation:
Opportunity cost: The opportunity cost is that cost which is incurred to choose the best options with the available options.
Sunk cost: The sunk cost is that cost which is not recovered in the future. Its other name is the past cost. It does not help to make future decisions as if it is incurred then it cannot be recovered again
So, the opportunity would be the current price i.e $77
And, the sunk cost is $67 per pipe ($77 - $10)
