Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

The political business cycle can be defined as the fluctuations in the economy caused because of political activities. Often before elections, politicians enact expansionary policy to show economic growth to prove their competence.  

But if used in excess these policies can be harmful to the long term growth of the economy. So after getting re-elected, politicians who are aware of the negative effects of these policies will reverse these policies and adopt a contractionary policy to reduce inflationary pressures.

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

  • Federal Income tax ⇒ $80
  • FICA ⇒ $125.46
  • State income tax ⇒ $52.97
  • Local deduction - Clark County Income tax ⇒ $29.52

Explanation:

Brent gets paid semi-monthly so his pay per period is:

= 39,360 / (12 months *2)

= $1,640

Based on the table therefore, his federal tax is:

= $80

This figure is based on the intersection between income of $1,640 and 3 withholding allowances.

FICA tax rate is 7.65% so his FICA tax is:

= 1,640 * 7.65%

= $125.46

State income tax = $52.97

Local deduction - Clark County Income tax = $29.52

Total deductions:

= Federal tax + FICA + State income tax + Clark County income tax

= 80 + 125.46 + 52.97 + 29.52

= $287.95

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer: $83050

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the total reserves of First National Bank will be given as follows:

Total deposit = $675000

The Required reserve ratio will be:

= 675000 × 9%

= 675000 × 9/100

Since the bank has excess reserves of $22,300, then the total reserve will be:

= $60750 + $22300

= $83050

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Wide

Explanation:

Basically there are two spans of control namely; wide and narrow. A wide span of control is one in which a manager or supervisor interacts with many team members. In other words, the levels of hierarchy involved where there is a wide span of control is few. As such, this structure entails that a large number of the team members report directly to the manager.

The narrow span of control is one in which the manager supervises or interacts with a few team members. In other words, there is some level of hierarchy involved such that the managers direct subordinates are few and have subordinates who report to them.

To state it in another way, the wider the span of control, the fewer level of report or levels of hierarchy and the narrower the span of control, the higher the levels of hierarchy required.

In light of the explanation above, it can be deduced that Jody has a wide span of control over her team.

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

E=-4.0746

Explanation:

Using the midpoint method, Lauren's income elasticity of demand for new outfits is determined by the change in income multiplied by the average number of outfits, divided by the change in the number of outfits multiplied by the average income:

E=\frac{\Delta I*O_{avg}}{\Delta O*I_{avg}}\\E=\frac{(37,000-30,000)*\frac{20+19}{2}}{(19-20)*\frac{37,000+30,000}{2}}\\E=-4.0746

Her income elasticity of demand for new outfits is -4.0746.
