The firm should decrease the amount of capital used.
Solution:
The wage rate is $12 per hour and capital is rented at $8 per hour.
The marginal product of labour is 45 units of output per hour and the marginal product of capital is 65 units of output per hour.
A manager hires labour and rents capital equipment in a very competitive
market.
The ratio of marginal product of labour and wage rate
= 
= 3.75
The ratio of marginal product of capital and rent
= 
= 8.125
If the cost ratio is higher, it means that the boss must minimize the volume of money involved in the manufacturing process.

Answer:
The correct answer is option D.
Explanation:
Long-run elasticities of demand differ from short-run elasticity. In the short period is more inelastic. This is because people take time to adjust their consumption habits. So if the time period people have to adjust to the price change is long, then the demand will be elastic.
Durable goods can be used for a relatively long time. So they will have a less elastic demand.
Answer: A. Reserves ↓: Excess reserves ↓; Loans ↓; Deposits ↓; Money supply ↓
Explanation:
The discount rate is the rate at which the Fed lends money to banks and other depository type institutions. Normally banks have a reserve requirement that the Fed requires of them which states how much they are to leave with the Fed as a reserve. Banks tend to fall short of this reserve sometimes and so can borrow from the Fed to balance it off.
If the Fed increase the rate at which these banks can borrow, they will not want to do so thus leaving their Reserves at the Fed lower than it should be. They will then use their excess reserves which is money kept in reserve more than the Fed requires, to balance off their reserve at the Fed.
As a result of this reduction in their Excess reserve, they will have less money to give out as loans. With less loans being made, people will not have as much money to deposit after taking the loans. Money supply will then fall as a whole.
