Answer:

A) Somewhat effective, but only to the extent that most of the tax cut is concurrently spent on domestic output, that multiplier effects occur, and crowding out is small.

Explanation:

First of all, the larger amount of money would increase the inflation rate since aggregate supply hasn't increased. The number of goods and services offered do not vary, then only thing that varies is the amount of disposable money.

The larger the multiplier, the larger the positive effect. The multiplier formula = 1 / MPS (marginal propensity to save). Even though inflation increases, still the economy is going to grow. That unless the local residents decide to purchase many imported goods. The larger the amount of imported goods purchased, the lower the positive effects.

This type of policy can be very effective under conditions where deflation or inflation rates are near 0 or even negative. Although high inflation is very bad for the economy, a small amount of inflation is always needed to boost economic growth. The healthy inflation is around 1.5 - 2% per year. This way salaries and wages can grow, pushing aggregate demand and supply.

If interest rates in general were to fall, 1. the prices of existing bonds would rise 2. the prices of existing bonds would fall

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

1. the prices of existing bonds would rise

Explanation:

General Interest rates and price of a bond are inversely related. The market interest rate also reflects an investors expected rate of return also referred to as yield to maturity i.e YTM.

Mathematically, price of a bond is the present value of it's future stream of coupon payments as well as principal repayments discounted at investors expected rate of return i.e YTM.

So, when market interest rates fall in general, this would lead to a rise in the price of bonds as general interest rates represent yield to maturity.

Which one of the following is the most likely reason why a stock price might not react at all on the day that new information re

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:The information was expected is the most likely reason why a stock price might not react at all on the day that new information related to the stock’s issuer is released. Assuming the market is semi strong form efficient.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The major reason that the stock price might not react to the information related to that stock was the expectancy of information in advance. It was a piece of expected information. When something is expected then our response towards it does not bring much change.

Similarly, when it is already expected to get some information related to the stock, on receiving that information the stock price does not react. It means it might neither fall nor rise.
