Answer:
The optimal production plan gives a total costs of $417,672 for the periods Feb to May
In Feb we will have to hire 26 workers to close the gap between demand and production from our 100 existing workers
In March however, we will have to lay them off (26 workers) to keep our production in line with demand.
In April, we are constrained to 100 workers, thus requiring that we run overtime. The overtime requirement is between 3,060 hours to max of 5,000 hours. Note that inspire of the hours chosen, demand for April still won't be fulfilled.
The best option will be the one that gives us last backlog because of the costs of backorder being extremely costly.
5,000 overtime hours in April is the best option .
In May, we are constrained to our 100 workers, meaning we will fulfill our back orders and also retain inventory in hand of 7,760 units.
The 3 pages attached show how the cost is worked out and the presentation as well.
Answer:
The Money supply will decrease by $4,500
Explanation:
What will be the maximum impact on money supply today as a result of your action is that the Money supply will decrease by $4,500.
Since we assumed that you have $10,000 in your account in which you withdraw $500 cash from your account and hide it under your pillow for future use, therefore based this scenario or actions carried by you it means that your bank have fewer or lesser funds available to make loans which means the decrease will tend to affect the money supply.

Answer:
D ; increase growth
Explanation:
The discount rate is one of the tools that the Federal Reserve uses to direct monetary policy. Banks are subject to minimum reserves requirements. If a bank falls below this minimum, it can borrow from the banks with a surplus, or borrow from the federal reserve. If it borrows from the Fed, the interest rate that applies is the discount rate. The discount rate is always higher than the fed fund rate; hence, banks use it as a last resort.
The discount rate and the fed rate have similar effects on the economy. The Fed uses the discount rate to regulate the money supply in the country. When the growth in slow, the fed will reduce the discount rate. A low discount rate means the cost of borrowing money goes down. The impact is that individuals and businesses will afford to borrow money for consumption and investment.
Increased levels of investments and consumption will mean a higher GDP, which is growth.
