Answer:

expansionary fiscal policy.

Explanation:

Fiscal policy in economics refers to the use of government expenditures (spending) and revenues (taxation) in order to influence macroeconomic conditions such as Aggregate Demand (AD), inflation, and employment within a country. Fiscal policy is in relation to the Keynesian macroeconomic theory by John Maynard Keynes.

A fiscal policy affects combined demand through changes in government policies, spending and taxation which eventually impacts employment and standard of living plus consumer spending and investment.

Basically, an expansionary fiscal policy will cause the total increase in aggregate demand to be greater than the initial increase in aggregate demand due to the multiplier process.

Hence, if during a severe recession, Congress passes legislation to cut taxes, this would be an example of an expansionary fiscal policy.

According to the Keynesian theory, government spending or expenditures should be increased and taxes should be lowered when faced with a recession, in order to create employment and boost the buying power of consumers.

musickatia [10]

Answer:

This is an example of multiple pricing.

Explanation:

Sometimes if you add all the extra charges, like shipping and handling, you might realize that the product being offered by the infomercial is actually more expensive than similar products that you can buy on retail stores or websites.

Infomercials do this on purpose, they use low selling prices as bait, but then they charge very high fees for processing your order and shipping it.

Productivity Growth = 6.1%

Explanation:

Productivity Growth = Current Productivity - Previous Productivity/ Previous Productivity

Productivity Growth = 35-33/33=2/33= 0.0606 or 0.061*100= 6.1%

Productivity Ratio = Output/ Input

Labor Productivity= No of Units/ No of Employees
