Answer: d. all of the above

Explanation:

If the Federal Reserve wanted to increase the money supply, they could use all the monetary policy tools listed.

Using Open Market operations, they could buy securities from the public and by paying for those securities, they would inject money into the economy. This is how Quantitative Easing works as well.

They would also reduce the reserve requirement or reduce the discount rate as well. The former would allow banks to be able to loan out more money and the latter will make it easier for banks to borrow from the Fed both of which will increase how much banks can inject into the economy.

Zanzabum

Answer:

D) Project importance is enhanced by setting authority equal to that of functional departments.

Explanation:

A matrix organization is characterized by, multiple command system and overlapping of command, control and behavioral pattern.

Here, temporary project groups are created so as to handle short term projects. Personnel are drawn from functional department and their activities are controlled and coordinated by a project manager.

Once a project is completed, the structure is disbanded and the personnel return to their original departments i.e functional department.

During the project duration, a person is responsible and reports to two bosses, one being the project manager and secondly to the functional boss. Thus, under such a structure exists dual reporting.

Under matrix structure for project management, the project manager is not allowed to use resources exclusively for the project i.e like in project management. Rather, such a manager is required to share resources with the organization.

What is a future consequence of making minimum payments each month?

Luden [163]

Answer:

A: a longer period in debt

Explanation:

Minimum payments are generally associated with credit card debts. A credit card allows the user to spend on credit. At the end of every month, the credit card company sends the customer a statement detailing the amount they owe. The statement shows the total outstanding amount and the minimum amount payable.

Paying the total outstanding amount clears the total credit card debt helping the customer avoid interest charges. Paying the minimum amount means the customer will have a balance carried forward to the following month, attracting interest charges.

Paying the minimum amount allows the user to continue using the credit card. There will be a balance carried forward and interest charges if only the minimum amount is paid. Due to the high-interest rates that credit cards charge, the debts increase exponentially. The cardholder will require a long time to clear the debts, which means that the interest charges and penalty amounts will be high.

A small country that uses the U.S. dollar as its currency is measuring its GDP for the current year. Personal consumption expend

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

$117,800

Explanation:

GDP formula is:

GDP= Consumption (C)+ Investment (I)+ Government expenditure ()+ Net exports (exports-imports)

Last year, C= $69,000 and it increased 10% (100%+10%=110%),

This year: C= $69,000*1.10= $75,900.

Last year: I= $18,000 and it decreased 5% (100%-5%=95%).

This year: I= $18,000*0,95= $17,100

Last year: G=$19,000 and it increased by 20% (100%+20%=120%)

This year: G= $ 19,000*1.20=$22,800

Last year: X-M= $2000 and it remained the same

This year: X-M= $2000

Current year´s GDP= $75,900+$17,100+$22,800+$2000= $117,800
