The purpose of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates during a recession is to encourage borrowing (borrowing becomes cheaper) and in this way especially for companies they may spend more money then  on improvements, new products etc so the economy theoretically will be stimulated to counteract the recession.

Which of these statements about liquidity traps is false? Firms are unlikely to undertake investment during liquidity traps beca
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is: firms are unlikely to undertake investment.

Explanation:

The liquidity trap is a situation described in the Keynesian economy according to which, liquidity injections into the private banking system by the central bank do not lower interest rates or inject money into the economy and therefore do not stimulate economic growth as claimed by monetarism.

The liquidity trap occurs when people accumulate cash because they expect an adverse event, such as deflation, reduction in aggregate demand and GDP, an increase in the unemployment rate or a war. People are not buying, companies are not borrowing and banks are not lending either because they do not have enough solvency since the economic outlook is uncertain and investors do not invest because the expected returns on investments are low.

The most common characteristics of a liquidity trap are interest rates close to zero and fluctuations in the monetary base that do not translate into fluctuations in general price levels.

Using supply/demand analysis and words, demonstrate what a weakly enforced antiscalping law would likely do to the price of tick
erastova [34]

Full question:

In some states and localities, scalping is against the law although enforcement is spotty

A. Using supply/demand analysis and words, demonstrate what a weakly enforced antiscalping law would likely do to the price of tickets.

B. Using supply/demand analysis and words, demonstrate what a strongly enforced antiscalping law would likely do to the price of tickets

Answer and Explanation:

A. For the first scenario, a weakly enforced antiscalping law would still allow the resale of tickets as it is not enforced properly. Therefore it's effect on price would remain as though there were no laws restricting scalping( scalping: price increase created by artificial shortage and bulk resale of tickets) . See the attached diagram for the supply and demand curve and price increase as a result of a weak antiscalping law

B. For the second scenario, scalping has no effect on price as antiscalping laws are strong and therefore there is no scalping. Price remains the same and does not change.

In diagram A for first scenario price increases from p1 to p2 and quantity decreases from q1 to q2 to indicate increase in price and quantity decrease for shortage respectively. This shows the effect of scalping on the market with weak antiscalping laws

In diagram B, price and quantity remain the same to show strong antiscalping laws

suter [353]

The difference between an inventor and an entrepreneur is that, an inventor develops new services and goods but he does not have them to the market. An entrepreneur risks resources may it be human, capital or natural in order to bring to the market improved and new products.

The risk which is incurred between entrepreneur and inventor is that, entrepreneur undergoes huge financial risks because a lot of money is being invested while inventor has low financial risk since there is no big investment which is being required.
