estimates that a change in the money supply of $120 billion will adjust interest rates enough to offset the change in aggregate demand. If the reserve requirement is 25%, what action should the Fed take to reach the desired change in the money supply? The Fed should conduct an of $ billion.
b. Suppose there is a political crisis in Europe, causing a reduction in investment demand in the United States.

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

For a, first we calculate the credit multiplier of the economy,

Credit multiplier = 1 / reserve ratio

Credit multiplier = 1 / 0.25 = 4

This means that any change in money supply will be 4 times as much in the economy, hence to induce a change of $120 billion, the Fed will decrease the money supply by 120/4 = $30 billion. This will increase the interest rates just enough to stabilize aggregate demand.

For b, we again start by calculating the credit multiplier.

Credit multiplier = 1/0.10 = 10

Since the Fed want to stimulate investment, it needs to use an expansionary monetary policy.

The Fed thus increases the money supply by 150/10 = $15 billion.

This will have the total effect of 150 billion on the whole thus achieving the Fed's objectives.

Hope that helps.

viktelen [127]

Answer:

INCREASE IN AVERAGE INVENTORY VALUE REQUIRED = $2.25 million

Explanation:

Inventory turnover will be determined as :

Inventory turnover = Annual sales ( at cost ) / Inventory value

Annual sales this year = $72million

Inventory turnover = 8 times

Therefore , Inventory value of current year = $72/8 =$ 9 MILLION

If annual sales ( at cost ) increases by 25%, Inventory value also has to increase by 25% to maintain the same inventory turnover ratio next year

Therefore , increase in average inventory value required = 25% of $9 million = $2.25 million

INCREASE IN AVERAGE INVENTORY VALUE REQUIRED = $2.25 million

Answer:

Advertisement doesn't exist in perfect competition markets. Perfect competition markets are theoretical only, since they do not exist in reality although some markets resemble or are similar, e.g. commodities. One of the characteristics of perfect competition markets is that every participant possesses perfect information regarding the products' characteristics and price.
