Answer: The effect will be that the results will be distorted by registering a gain in the incorrect period, since 3 months correspond to the current year, from October-December and the rest corresponds from January-March of the following year.

Answer:
managers are able to make quick decisions that can save your company money. By empowering your managers, you trust their instincts and abilities, because you know they understand the daily work process better than you do.
Explanation:
Answer:
The correct answer is option a.
Explanation:
The aggregate demand in an economy comprises of consumer spending, government spending, investment expenditure, and net exports.
An increase in any of these components will cause the aggregate demand to increase or decrease.
So when the government spending increases the aggregate demand will increase. This increase in the aggregate demand will cause the aggregate demand curve to shift to the right.
This rightward shift in the aggregate demand curve will cause the price level and equilibrium quantity to increase.
Answer:
The benefits of a High Speed Rail in California:
- It becomes a feasible alternative to air travel, because it can be either cheaper, or even faster, since passengers do not have to spend as much time on a train station as they do on an airport.
- If demand is high enough, state highways can become less congested, because many people who would otherwise travel by car, would take a high speed train instead.
- Because the trains are electric, they are likely to help reduce pollution.
The cons would be:
- We cannot know for sure how many people would take the high speed trains. Demand could not be high enough to justify the cost.
- The line would be very costly.
- It could end up benefit only a small section of the population who would take the trains, or who travel often.
I believe that the benefits outweigh the drawbacks, as can be seen in most countries where high speed lines have been made between large cities. For example, in Spain, the line between Madrid and Barcelona is profitable. The same would likely happen for a line between Los Angeles and San Francisco.
What are the implications of starting a project based on tenuous projections that may or may not come true 10 years from now?
If demand projections are tenous, there is always the possiblity that the high speed line could not be profitable. However, this risk can be lowered if the line is made between highly populated cities.
Could you justify the California high-speed rail project from the perspective of a massive public works initiative?
Yes, a high speed rail would be a project that could massively impact California. The benefits of its operation could outweight the cost.
In other words, what other factors enter into the decision of whether to pursue a high-speed rail project?
As I said before, the most important factor is to construct line between highly populated cities in order to reduce the risk of not having enough demand. It has been demonstrated around the world, in Spain, in Italy, in Japan, in China, that high speed lines that connect very populated regions, can be profitable.
