Note, for private spending, <em>consumption</em> refers to purchases usually made for present needs, while <em>investment</em> refers to purchases that may provide. For government spending, <em>consumption </em>refers to purchase made to care for the immediate welfare or needs of those governed without any monetary benefits, while <em>investment </em>purchases are done with the perceived future benefits in mind.

  • People buying houses  = Investment
  • People buying newspapers  = Consumption
  • People buying food = Consumption

<u>Government Spending</u>

  • Payment for public safety employees = Investment
  • Building hospitals = Investment

Allisa [31]

Answer:

b. $103,345

Explanation:

Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity

Owner's Equity (Year 1) = $908,100 - $267,845

                                       = $640,255

Owner's Equity (Year 2) = $980,279 - $233,892

                                        = $746,387

increase in Owner's Equity = Owner's Equity (Year 2) - Owner's Equity (Year 1)  

                                             = $746,387 - $640,255

                                             = $106,132

Net income during Year 2 = Increase in Owner's Equity - Additional investment + Withdrawals

                                            = $106,132 - $28,658 + $25,871

                                            = $103,345

Therefore, the amount of net income during Year 2 is $103.345.

Which of the following is not a goal of federal economic policy? full employment growth a high savings rate Keynesian economics
Ivan

Answer:

high savings rate

Explanation:

High savings rate is not a goal of federal economic policy. The goal of federal economic policy is to achieve full employment, economic growth and stable prices.

However 'high savings rate' is achieved when interest rates are increased in order to fight inflation and achieve 'stable prices' because people keep their money in the banks to take advantage of the benefit of earning interest BUT this is not always the case because 'higher interest rates' works against full employment by making it too costly for firms to borrow for investments which will definitely create jobs.
