Answer:
social welfare spending (education, hospitals, housing, schools, etc.).
Explanation:
This quote deals with the problem of the ever increasing cost of national defense versus the welfare of the citizens. The US spends more money on national defense than any other country in the world, around 37% of the total military budget of the world. It also represents 15% of the total federal budget and almost half of all discretionary spending.
That is a lot of money to be distributed among a small number of private firms. Usually Republicans tend to favor a large army, but Democrats never lower their budget either. The largest military contractors are Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Raytheon. They are all located in blue states, actually Maryland currently has a Republican governor but both their senators are democrats as well as most of the representatives. Boeing has its headquarters in Washington State and Raytheon in Massachusetts. These aren't blue states, they are indigo states.
But as the military budget increases and the power of military contractors also increases, who will dare to stop them. Military spending is much higher than welfare spending, even if you throw in Medicaid into the equation ($1.6 trillion vs $1 trillion).
The question really is, are guns more important than the well being of our citizens? I guess it depends who you ask.
Answer:
B and C only.
Explanation:
The options of this question wasn't provided. Here are the options:
A.
higher real interest rate induces more investment.
B.
higher real interest rate discourages current consumption.
C.
higher real interest rate encourages more saving.
D.
all of the above.
E.
B and C only.
It is assumed that households either spend disposable income on consumption or savings. If interest rate is high, it would encourage households to save instead of spending on consumption. The same argument extends to firms.
This explains why the credit supply curve is upward sloping or positively sloped, the higher the interest rate, the higher the savings rate and the higher the credit supply. Conversely, the lower the interest rate, the lower the savings rate and the lower the credit supply.

Answer:
Beta is 0.85
Explanation:
The value of Beta can de derived from the CAPM formula of expected return
expected return=risk-free rate+Beta*market risk premium
expected return is 10.2%
risk-free rate is 4.10%
market risk premium is 7.2%
Beta is unknown
10.20%=4.10%+Beta*7.20%
10.20%-4.10%=Beta*7.20%
6.10%
==Beta*7.20%
Beta=6.10%
/7.20%
Beta= 0.85
