Answer:

<u>The Fed is more independent because of its substantial revenue from securities and discount loans. Independence allows it to control its own budget.</u>

Explanation:

This has always been one unique privilege the Fed (or The Federal Reserve System) has. The Federal Reserve System is the central bank of the United States, and so it regulates and controls the financial activities of the country.

Unlike other agencies that often require/depend on the nation's official budget before they can fully function, the Fed has the ability not only to control its own budget but to create money for nationwide circulation to other agencies.

If Cassandra bought 12 blouses last year when her income was $46,000 and she buys 14 blouses this year when her income is $52,00
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

b. +1.26

Explanation:

The computation of the income elasticity of demand is shown below:

= (Percentage Change in quantity demanded) ÷ (Percentage Change in income)

= (change in quantity demanded ÷ average of quantity demanded) ÷ (change in income ÷ average of income)  

where,  

Change in quantity demanded would be

= Q2 - Q1

= 14 blouses - 12 blouses

= 2 blouses

And, average of quantity demanded would be

= (12 + 14) ÷ 2

= 13

Change in income would be

= $52,000 - $46,000

=  $6,000

And, average of income would be

= ($52,000 + $46,000) ÷ 2

= 49,000

So, after solving this, the income elasticity of demand is +1.26
