Answer: Sell bonds
Explanation:
One reason there could be inflation in an economy is the high supply of money in the economy. With a high supply, people would have more money and so would demand more goods and services which would take the prices of those goods and services up thereby causing demand pull inflation.
If the Fed wants to reduce this inflation, they need to reduce the amount of money in the economy. They will do this by selling bonds to the public who will then pay in cash which the Fed will then take out of circulation thereby leading to a lower money supply and theoretically, less inflation.
The answer is
B) Trade Barriers
Answer:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $2.32 per machine hour.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Overhead costs are estimated to total $292,552 for the year, and machine usage is estimated at 126,100 hours.
To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 292,552/126,100= $2.32 per machine hour.
Answer:
$4,000 is treated as a capital gain and then reduced by the un-offset net losses in 2016 ($300) and 2017 ($100) to arrive at net capital gain of $3,600 ($4,000 - 300 - 100). $0 of the amount is treated as an ordinary income.
Explanation:
Section 1231 gain arises when an asset (real property or depreciable business property) is sold for more than its current tax basis. The gain is regarded as a capital gain and taxed at the lower capital gain rates and not as ordinary income.
Section 1231 property are assets used in trade or business and held by the Taxpayer for more than one year. A gain on the sale of Section 1231 business property is treated as a long-term capital gain.
Answer:
Hawthorne effect
Explanation:
The Hawthorne effect refers to a reaction of the workers included in this experiment where their behavior will be modified (their productivity increased) simply because they know they are being observed. The study should be about how changes in the environment affect productivity, but what really affects productivity is the fact that the workers know they are being part of the study.
In the original Hawthorne experiments, if lighting was increased, productivity increased, but if lighting decreased, productivity also increased. So the changes in productivity had nothing to due with lightning conditions, but rather the fact that the workers were being part of an experiment.
