Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation is shown below;
As we know that
Y/G = 1 ÷ (1-MPC)
Here
Y = $300 billion,
MPC = 0.75
So,
300 ÷ G = 1 ÷ 0.25
G = $75
So the government should rise the spending by $75 in order to close out the recessionary gap
So, the government should increase the spending by $30 to close the recessionary gap.

It is the Continuous Flow Production Process. It is a stream creation strategy used to fabricate, deliver, or process materials without intrusion. Consistent generation is known as a persistent procedure or a nonstop stream process in light of the fact that the materials, either dry mass or liquids that are being prepared are constantly in movement, experiencing synthetic responses or subject to mechanical or warm treatment. Persistent handling is diverged from group generation.

Vertical integration is a business strategy whereby a business acquires ownership or controls its suppliers, distributors, or retail locations to control its value or supply chain.
It may also be said that vertical integration has to do with the purchase of a part of all of the production or sales process that was previously outsourced, to have it done in-house.
An example of companies who have done this are:
1. Apple
2. Netflix
3. Comcast (Which acquired NBC)
Businesses can integrate by
- purchasing their suppliers to reduce the costs of manufacturing or
- controlling the distribution process that is, owning and controlling the warehousing and delivery of their products etc.
