Assume the economy is operating at less than full employment. An expansionary monetary policy will cause interest rates to _____

adoni [48]

When the economy is not at full employment and an expansionary monetary policy is followed:

Interest rates decrease
Investment spending increases

When there is an expansionary monetary policy in place, more money is pumped into the economy which means that there are more loanable funds. This increase in the supply of loanable funds will decrease the interest associated with them.

As a result of interest rates being lower, more businesses and people will be able to borrow money and invest in projects thereby increasing investment spending.

In conclusion, there will be an increase in investment spending due to a decrease in interest rates.

In business, managers and employees are faced with many decisions. Management writer Ken Blanchard and religious leader Norman V

QveST [7]

Answer: In order to answer this, we must first add the options. They are as follows:

A. Am I acting fairly?

B. Is it balanced?

C. How will it make me feel about myself?

D. Will it help me further my career?

E. Is it legal?

The correct option is D. Will it help me further my career. This is a question that should NOT be asked when facing an ethical dilemma.

Explanation:

Ethics are moral principal that guide one's actions and attitudes. Now, all the options above can be properly weighed using ethical standards.

An Ethical dilemma is a situation in which a choice must be made between two options, neither of which will resolve the situation in an ethically acceptable manner.

We will analyze the options one after the other.

Let us start with option A. Am I acting fairly?

When faced with an ethical dilemma, one good question to ask is if an individual is acting fairly, that is, are they acting according to accepted ethical standards? If one's actions go contrary to ethics, then they should probably not undertake such an action. Therefore, this question SHOULD BE ASKED.

Option B. Is it balanced?

Balance here talks about equality. In this case this question looks at whether the action will favour one party over another, or if it will favour everyone equally. Therefore, this question SHOULD BE ASKED.

Option C. How will it make me feel about myself?

This question looks at the after effect of an action, if the action will make you feel good or bad about yourself later on. If the action will make you feel good, then it should be undertaken, but if it will make you feel bad, it should not be undertaken. Therefore, this question SHOULD BE ASKED.

Option D. Will it help me further my career? (Correct option)

This is a wrong question to ask when experiencing an ethical dilemma because it is not a question about ethics or morals, only career advancement, and it does not focus on the right or wrong of an action. Also, this is a selfish question to ask and it does not take into consideration the effect that the action will have on others. This question should therefore, NOT BE ASKED, because it is not a proper reflection of one's ethics.

Option E. Is it legal?

This question looks at the legality of an action, therefore illegal actions should not be undertaken, while legal actions should be pursued. This is a question that SHOULD BE ASKED.

Suppose your employer offers you a choice between a $ 4 comma 600 bonus and 200 shares of the company stock. Whichever one you c

Virty [35]

Answer:

a. Suppose that if you receive the stock bonus, you are free to trade it. Which form of the bonus should you choose? What is its value?

I would choose the stock bonus because the current market price = 200 x $64 = $12,800 which is much higher than $4,600 (cash bonus)

b. Suppose that if you receive the stock bonus, you are required to hold it for at least one year. What can you say about the value of the stock bonus now? What will your decision depend on?

Even if you are required to hold the stock for one year, the price difference with the cash bonus is too great = ($12,800 - $4,600) / $4,600 = 178% higher. Since you are employed by the company, you should know if the company is doing well or not, and the probable future stock price.

Only if something catastrophic happened to the company would make the cash bonus more attractive.
