Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding in each cases is as follows:
a. At the time when the shares are issued at cash
= (303,000 × 12 ÷ 12) + (31,200 × 8 ÷ 12)
= 303,000 + 20,800
= 323,800 shares
b. At the time when the shares are issued in the stock dividend
= (303,000 × 12 ÷ 12) + (29,700 × 12 ÷ 12)
= 303,000 + 29,700
= 332,700 shares
Answer:
(a) What is the amount by which Carla Bank's liabilities have changed?
Carla Bank's liabilities increased by $15,000 (bank deposits are liabilities).
(b) Calculate the change in required reserves for Carla Bank.
Carla Bank's reserves must increase by $15,000 x 5% = $750
(c) What is the dollar value of the maximum amount of new loans Carla Bank can initially make because of Christopher's deposit?
Carla Bank can loan $15,000 x 95% = $14,250
(d) Based on the central bank's open-market purchase of bonds, calculate the maximum amount by which the money supply can change throughout the banking system.
Money multiplier = 1 / 5% = 20
The money supply has the potential to increase by $15,000 x 20 = $300,000
(e) How will the change in the money supply in part (d) affect aggregate demand in the short run? Explain.
Aggregate demand will increase since the total money supply increases. This should also help to decrease the interest rates and foster investment.
Answer:
C) The invisible hand
Explanation:
Daniel here seeking to produce and increase his welfare is "led by an invisible hand" to negotiate with his suppliers and to sell goods to his neighbors in a way that everybody is better off as a result from these transactions.
This is also a clear example to what Adam Smith was referring to the invisible hand:
"in such a manner as its produce may be of the greatest value, he intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention. Nor is it always the worse for the society that it was not part of it. By pursuing his own interest he frequently promotes that of the society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it. " Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations, Book 4, Chapter 2
