The above answer is definitely correct in its details. I'd just like to emphasize a couple of important ideas about Hoover's response.
<span>He tried to do more to fix the economy than any president had ever done before. The government had been very hands-off up to that point.He believed the government should not go in debt no matter what. This limited what he was willing to do. Please note that economists back then agreed with this idea so it's not like Hoover was just being mean. In fact, FDR believed the same thing and it's often said that he undermined the New Deal by trying to balance the budget too soon.</span>
So, overall what I want to point out is that Hoover did more than anyone else, and he did what most economists of the time would have said was the right thing to do. But it didn't work and so he's seen as one of the worst presidents ever, which seems a bit unfair.
Step One: The wood is softened and cut into slats called "pencil stock" or "pencil squares."
Step Two: A wax and stain are applied and the slats are passed under a cutting wheel.
Step Three: The grooves in the slat are filled with a special elastic glue for the lead.
Answer:
$120 billion
Explanation:
Economy operating at $300 billion above its natural level of output.
Marginal propensity to consume, MPC = 3/5 = 0.6
For closing this expansionary gap, the government have to decrease its spending by the amount calculated as follows:
Spending multiplier:
= 1/ (1 - MPC)
= 1/ (1 - 0.6)
= 1/ 0.4
= 2.5
Hence, the government spending reduces by
= Expansionary gap ÷ Spending multiplier
= $300 ÷ 2.5
= $120 billion
Answer:
B. $497,000
Explanation:
Consolidated Balance of Equipment
Excess value at the acquisition $110,000
($350,000-$240000)
Book value as on Dec 31 2018 of Ford $170,000
Book value as on Dec 31 2018 of Regent $250,000
Less: excess depreciation <u>-$33,000 </u> ($110,000/10*3)
Consolidated balance of equipment <u>$497,000</u>
