Answer:
Reserve requirement = 20% or 0.250
Simple money multiplier = 1/Reserve Ratio = 1/0.2 = 5
Note that,
Increase in money supply = Increase in total reserves * Simple money multiplier
$100 Billion = Increase in total reserves * 5
Increase in total reserves = $20 billion
This means that the federal reserve should decrease the reserve requirement by purchasing $20 billion worth of US government bonds from banks, which will lead to increase of $100 billion in money supply.
Answer:
1. Explain who in the United States would gain?
The government of the United States will gain from the<em> Import duties </em>that will be charged on the Indian textiles.
2. Who might lose from dismantling trade barriers between the United States and India?
<em>The USA will lose if trade barriers are dismantled.</em>
The United States will lose from dismantling trade barriers because the Indian textile will be massively imported in the country thereby crippling the growth of the local textile manufacturing companies in the United States. India has a comparative advantage over the USA in the manufacturing of textiles, which are in constant demand compared to that of the aircraft which are rarely demanded.
Explanation:
1. The government of the United States will gain from the<em> Import duties </em>that will be charged on the Indian textiles. The government will make huge revenues from the import duties since India will manufacture the textiles at the cheapest costs per unit and influx the USA with affordable and quality clothing.
2. The USA will lose if trade barriers are dismantled.
The United States will lose from dismantling trade barriers because the Indian textile will be massively imported in the country thereby crippling the growth of the local textile manufacturing companies in the United States.

Answer:
This question is incomplete. However, I found the prompt to be as follows;
"What is the productivity measure of “units of output per dollar of input” averaged over the four-year period? "
Explanation:
To solve this question, find productivity;
Productivity in this case is total hamburgers produced divided by the total labor cost plus total equipment cost.
Productivity = # of hamburgers *52 weeks * 4 years / (total labor cost + equipment cost)
Productivity= 40,000(52)(4)/ {9,500(4) + 5000}
= 193.5 hamburgers/dollar of input
Therefore, the factory would produce about 194 burgers per dollar of input.
