I do not agree with her as well on raising the bank reserve requirements as it can restrain lending from banks and as a result it will shrink the economy growth. After analyzing my colleagues’ recommendations, and as the president’s senior economic advisor, I recommend the following: * We should lower income taxes. This shall increase the aggregate demand as the consumer disposable income will increase, which leads to an increase in the consumer spending. If the consumer spending increases, it will bring back up the flow of business and operations which means more jobs opening in the market and low unemployment rates. * Lowering banks’ interest rates.
WESTERN GOVERNORS UNIVERSITY Financial Analysis RJET Task 1 Executive Summary An extremely crucial element to any business entity is the financial analysis process. So what exactly is financial analysis? The actual definition is The assessment of the (1) effectiveness with which funds (investment and debt) are employed in a firm, (2) efficiency and profitability of its operations, and (3) value and safety of debtors' claims against the firm's assets. It employs techniques such as 'funds flow analysis' and financial ratios to understand the problems and opportunities inherent in an investment or financing decision.

2.If the price of both black and white and colour televisions falls, consumers buy more of each of them.

Demand is what people want and it is affected by price, income, tastes and price of other goods.
The author of this article, Jeannine Aversa, is stating that key economic indicators point to the likelihood of a recession. Aversa supports her thoughts by noting the real GDP; “crawled at a 1.3 percent pace in the opening quarter of 2007…even weaker than the sluggish 2.5 percent rate in the closing quarter of last year.” The author suggests the main cause of the economic slowdown is due to “the housing slump.” Consumer expenditures are driving the economy, but Aversa worries about a “fallout from risky mortgages and rising energy prices.” Uncertainty of the Feds actions concerning the interest rates is leading to lower investment spending. The author also states that the Feds decision on raising or lowering the interest is due to the
However, pensioners will be hit hard because the extra income they earn from saving will have dramatically reduced, making them worse off. On the other hand, savers may leave the pound for better interest rates in other countries (hot money), causing a fall in the demand for the pound. As a result the value of the pound will fall, making exports cheaper and there will be an injection of net exports. In conclusion, the impact of loose monetary policy will be beneficial to the economy because extra consumption and investment will cause AD to increase which will increase economic growth. However, it takes a long time for changes in interest rates to feed through to consumption and investment and by then the economy may have gotten worse.

The subprime mortgage crisis was the initial cause of the 2008 financial crisis, which then led to the worst recession since the Great Depression. (2) Many Americans felt the pain when those introductory adjustable rate mortgages reset to reveal higher payments that they could no longer afford. Banks, also, felt the stress as the word spread about the sheer volume of defaulted loans. As home prices continued to decline, without any hopes of a market turn around, both home owners and financial institutions where in a poor situation. In a proactive approach to the foreseeable future, on December 20, 2007, former President Bush signed into law, the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007.
Bernanke indicated that current monetary policy is directed toward easing and reversing the effects of a “weak economy.” Chairman Bernanke also credited a “deteriorating global credit boom” caused by a housing bubble in the U.S. and other countries, and worsening mortgage markets that led to “deteriorating asset values and credit conditions.” In the U.S. the financial crises was progressively worsening by the failing of some of the larger banking institutions.
