Answer:
$7,500
Explanation:
A few points must be considered in order to calculate ther realized gain.
1. Although Robert's stock in Lebec Corporation was $15,000 at cost, it was sold to Karen (his sister and related party) for $8000. Since it is related party transaction, the loss of $7000 ($15,000-$8,000) cannot be reported as a loss.
2. Karen's basis for the stock is $8000 (the amount she bought it from her brother).
3. Karen sold the stock to Dana for $15,500. The realized gain since Dana is not related is $15,500-$8,000= $7,500. This becomes the realized gain since it is an unrelated party transaction.

Answer:
a. Aggregate demand will shift to the left and unemployment rate will rise
Explanation:
Aggregate demand (AD) is the sum of consumer spending, government spending, investment, and net exports. The AD curve assumes that money supply is fixed. Increased money supply causes reduction in interest rates and further spending and therefore an increase in AD. <u>On the other hand, decreased money supply causes increase in interest rates and therefore a decrease in Aggregate Demand</u>
<u>Since the FED is buying Bonds it is reducing money supply and hence aggregate demand will fall causing the curve to shift to the left.</u>
Secondly inflation and unemployment has an inverse relationship. More money in the economy is inflation and unemployment level will be low because there will be an increase in wages <u>BUT when the FED reduces money supply by buying bonds, as a means of countering inflation, then unemployment will rise.</u>
