Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

The Federal Reserve acts as the Central Bank. And the tool it uses to control the economy is monetary policy and its tools are:

1. Reserve requirements

2. Open market operation

3. Discount rate(interest rate)

The Federal reserve can control the money supply in the eco economy through any of these tools.

For example, if Federal reserve wants to increase the money supply, they can do the following:

a) reducing the interest rate it lends commercial banks money, commercial banks too reduces the interest it charges businesses or households. With lower interest, households and businesses are encouraged to borrow, thereby increasing the money supply and vice-versa.

b) lowering the reserve requirements. Reserve requirement is the minimum balance commercial banks must have with the federal reserves. This is guided by law. Lowering the reserve requirements enable commercial banks to have more money to lend to their customers and vice-versa.

In all, Federal reserve use any of these tools to control money supply that is consistent with their target nominal interest rate.

Lottery – Let $1,000 be your current wealth. There are 100 people and each buys a lottery ticket at $5. The administrative cost
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Given that :

Initial wealth = $1000

Cost of lottery = $5

Winning = $500

Number of players or tickets = 100

Only one winner can emerge :

P(winning) = 1/100

P(Not winning) = 1 - 1/100 = 99/100

P __ 1/100 _________ 99/100

X : [1000 + (500-5)] ___ (1000-5)

P(X): ____1/100 _______ 99/100

X : _____ 1495 _________995

Expected value E(x) :

E(X) = ΣX*p(x) = (1/100)*1495 + (99/100)*995 = 1000

C.)

Possible winning = $500 ; p(x) = 1/100

Possible loss = - 5 ;p(x) = 99/100

500 * (1/100) = 5

-5 * (99/100) = - 4.95

Σ(5 + - 4.95) = 5 - 4.95 = 0.05

Hence, gamble is favorable since 0.05 > 0

earnstyle [38]

Answer: $25

Explanation:

The Dictator game is used to measure just how much a person will act out of self interest especially give their surrounding. One person will be the dictator and the other a recipient who would be a stranger. The dictator will decide how much they are to give the recipient.

You live in a culture where you do not have to buy food and as this is a significant expense for humans, it means that you do not need much money. Regardless of this however, it has been shown that people would not give out the majority of their money which means that you would not give out 50% or above of the money.

As 50% is $25 here, that would be the correct option.

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

$208,000

Explanation:

The computation of the absorption-costing income is shown below:

As we know that

Net income = Gross profit - variable expense - fixed expense

where,

Gross profit is

= Sales - cost of goods sold

= (22000 units at $30) - (22,000 units at $14)

= $660,000 - $308,000

=  $352,000

The $14 come from

= 8 + 150,000 ÷ 25,000

= 8 + 6

= 14

Now the variable expense is

= 22000 at $2

= $44,000

And, the fixed expense is $100,000

So, the net income is

= $352,000 - $44,000 - $100,000

= $208,000

It should be limited to the carrying value of an investment
