Answer:

the options are missing, so I looked for them:

a. The buying of government bonds leads to lower interest rates, thereby reducing private investment.

b. The selling of government bonds leads to higher interest rates, thereby reducing private investment.

c. The selling of government bonds leads to lower interest rates, thereby reducing private investment.

d. The buying of government bonds leads to higher interest rates, thereby reducing private investment.

the answer is:

b. The selling of government bonds leads to higher interest rates, thereby reducing private investment.

Explanation:

The crowding out effect happens when the government increases its spending level in order to engage in an expansionary fiscal policy but someone needs to pay for this extra spending. In order for the government to finance their spending, they have to choose to either increase taxes or issue more debt. When they issue more debt, they end up decreasing private investment since money that could be used by private companies is used by the government instead.

Eaton Tool Company has fixed costs of $340,400, sells its units for $80, and has variable costs of $43 per unit. a. Compute the

blsea [12.9K]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

But before reaching to the final answers, first determine the contribution margin per unit which is

a. Contribution margin per unit =Sales-Variable cost

= $80 - $43

= $37 per unit

Now

Breakeven = Fixed expenses ÷ Contribution margin

= $340,400 ÷ $37

= 9,200 units

b.Contribution margin = Sales - Variable cost

= $80 - $46

= $34 per unit

Now

New Breakeven = Fixed expenses ÷ Contribution margin

= $270,000 ÷ 34

= 7,941 units

Garth decided to move out of a small homestead home and into a larger more expensive one. The market value of his old home at th

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

$200,000

Explanation:

we must first determine the assessed value not taxed on Garth's old home:

market value of Garth's old home - assessed value = $250,000 - $175,000 = $75,000

now we subtract $75,000 from the market value of Garth's new home:

$325,000 - $75,000 = $250,000 = adjusted assessed value of Garth's new home

The taxable value of Garth's new home (for city taxes) = adjusted assessed value - homestead exemptions (for city taxes) = $250,000 - $50,000 = $200,000
