Suppose further that if the Federal Reserve changes the discount rate by 1 percentage point, banks change their reserves by 300. To increase the money supply by 2700 the Federal Reserve should A. reduce the discount rate by 3 percentage points B. reduce the discount rate by 10 percentage points C. raise the discount rate by 3 percentage points D. raise the discount rate by 10 percentage points 6. In the short run, a trade deficit allows more consumption, but in the long run, a trade deficit is a problem because A. the country eventually will consume more and produce less B. the country eventually will

It is assumed that smokers would lower their consumption because of the price. Additionally, based on Global Adults Tobacco Survey (GATS) 2011, the percentage of men who smoke is 67.4% and the women who smoke is 2.7%. These percentages have increased double in the last three years. Therefore, if the cigarettes price is higher, it would persuade the smoker to decrease or even to stop smoking. In other words, the number of smokers can be reduced.
It could therefore be said that an increase in the incomes of consumers could cause the bus operators revenue to decrease due to a fall in demand. This would indicate that the bus driver should close the service. Price elasticity of supply measures the proportionate response to changes in quantity supplied to a proportionate price change. A price elasticity of supply value of +1.15 means that the bus service has a more than proportionate response in supply to a change in price. The positive sign basically shows that higher prices will
Leveraged Buyout (“LBO”): Assuming an IRR (usually 20 percent to 30 percent), what would a financial buyer be willing to pay? Usually provides a floor valuation. 3.

With these factors taken into consideration, a decrease in consumer expenditure would be a direct causation to a lowering of both organisations activity. For example, due to recession unemployment will rise as the companies can’t afford to pay employees, and therefor people as a whole have less money to spend, and so donating to causes such as Oxfam would come more unlikely as there will be less money revolving them. This could cause a cut on their government funding as more money will need to be invested to government funding for those out of employment. With a low flow of money inward to the company it means they wont afford the expenditure necessary to fund projects for helping those, therefore lowering the activity of the charity. The same rule may apply to Arsenal FC.
In 2004, there were approximately 4 working age individuals (aged 20-64) for every 1 person aged 65 and over. By 2056 this ratio is predicted to fall to about 2.1 meaning our dependence on the workers will increase hugely and sadly this means taxation will have to go up. But the UK is not alone in its concerns over pension provision; others include China whose elderly population could double between 2000 and 2027. Most of the developed world is having to consider how best to support older individuals in the presence of an ageing population: Increasing life-expectancy which means that people are spending more and more years in retirement and lower birth rates. In 1900, on average a 65 year-old man in the UK could expect to live for another 10 years (11 years for a
