Answer:
b. prohibited any merger that would reduce competition
Explanation:
The "Clayton Act" of <em>1914</em> was meant to prohibit "price-fixing," monopolies and other unethical practices when it comes to business. So, this makes <u>choice a incorrect</u> because it "prohibits the restraint" of such practices. This also makes<u> choice c incorrect</u> because Clayton Act allowed the activity of charging buyers different prices in order to increase competition. This also makes<u> choice e incorrect</u> because the act was meant to provide the firms the freedom to buy their stocks from anyone (even from competitors).
<u>Letter d is incorrect</u> because the "Federal Trade Commission" enforced the "Clayton Act" and not vice-versa.
<u>Choice b is correct</u> because<em> the act prohibited any collusion or merger that would attempt to reduce the competition.</em> The act was meant to increase competition and not on its reduction.
So, this explains the answer.
Answer:
the equilibrium price and quantity of traditional autos decreases
the equilibrium price and quantity of electric cars increases
Explanation:
Due to the decrease in demand for traditional autos, there would be a leftward shift of the demand curve for traditional autos. As a result, equilibrium price and quantity would fall.
Due to the increase in demand for electric-powered autos, there would be a rightward shift of the demand curve for traditional autos. As a result, equilibrium price and quantity would increase.

Answer:
both raising taxes and reducing government spending, reduce the amount of money in the economy and reduce inflationary pressure on prices
Explanation:
Inflation is a situation where prices of goods and services become high. It can be caused by increased sand where consumers are willing to spend more on goods, or by an increase in production cost forcing suppliers to increase price.
The government can take various measures to control price increase during an inflation.
If money supply is reduced by less government spending and increased tax, there will be less tendency for price to increase.
Consumers will not be able to buy at the high price so suppliers are forced to reduce their prices
Answer:
We are going to pay $892.137 or less for the bonds.
Explanation:
We need to calculate the present value of the bond at 11% interet rate
Cashflow from the bond:
Principal x interest = interest service
1,000 x 9.5% = 95
Present value of annuity of 95 during 15 year at 11%
Present value of the interest service 683,1326097
Second we have to calculate the present value of the 1,000 principal in 15 years
209.0043467
Finally we add both together for the present value fothe bond at our rate
209.0043467+ 683,1326097 = 892.1369564 = 892.137
