Answer:

The correct answer is A) inconsistent reasoning; saving $20 is saving $20.

Explanation:

Tony is making an uninformed decision or more strictly, his reasoning is inconsistent. A flat discount of $20 is applicable to all products. Whether he  buys something that is worth $50 or $500, his savings would still be the same.

All other options are wrong. If e.g. he this was a flat 20% discount, his savings would have been much different. e.g. 20% of $50 is $10 while it equals to a $100 for a $500 product.

At this point, he would have to make rational decision on what he really needs to buy.

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is: increase; rise; more; lower; option d.

Explanation:

An expansionary monetary policy leads to an increase in the money supply. This further causes the demand for goods and services increase. A rightward shift in the aggregate demand curve causes the price level to rise.  

At a higher price level, the firms will produce more goods and services. To increase output, they will need more inputs. As a result, the rate of unemployment will decrease.  

We see that there is a trade-off between inflation and unemployment. At lower inflation, the rate of unemployment will be higher and vice versa.
