Q

To loosen the Money Supply

Federal

A

1 Fed sees recession looming
2 Fed buys government securities on open market
3 Fed credits cash to reserve accounts of banks selling securities
a) Increase supply; create supply of excess reserves; banks now willing to lend
b) Greater availability of cash for overnight loans causes decline in Federal funds rate
4 Fall in interest rates stimulates investment spending by businesses
5 Rise in investment spending increases aggregate demand, which increases real GDP and reduces unemployment
(BEC SU 3.9.1.b.3)

24
Q

To tighten the Money Supply

Federal

A

1 Fed fears inflation heating up
2 Fed sells government securities on open market
3 Fed decreases cash in reserve accounts of banks buying securities
a) Decrease in supply of cash reduces excess reserves; banks unable to lend
b) Lower availability of cash for overnight loans causes decline in Federal funds rate
4 Rise in interest rates stimulates investment spending by businesses
5 Fall in investment spending reduces aggregate demand, which decreases price level and reduces inflation
(BEC SU 3.9.1.b.3)

25
Production Total Cost
Production Total Cost = Total Fixed Cost (TC) + Total Variable Cost (VC) (BEC SU 2.5.5)
26
Average Total Cost (ATC)
Average Total Cost (ATC) = Total Cost (TC)/Quantity (Q) Increase Fixed Cost (FC) & Average Fixed Cost (AFC) (BEC SU 2.5.5)
27
Average Fixed Cost (AFC)
Average Fixed Cost (AFC) = Fixed Cost (FC)/Quantity (Q) Increase Fixed Cost (FC); Increase Total Cost (TC) & Average Fixed Cost (AFC) (BEC SU 2.5.5)
28
Average Variable Cost (AVC)
Average Variable Cost (AVC) = Variable Cost (VC) / Quantity (Q) Increase Fixed Cost (FC); 0 No Change in Variable Cost (VC) or Average Variable Cost (AVC) (BEC SU 2.5.5)
