Answer: Type your response here...1 Reserve Requirements help to maintain a stable banking system and ensure banks are able to conduct day-to-day check clearing and cash withdrawal transactions. These requirements are also policy tools that the Federal Reserve can use to control the money supply. The most important role is to provide structure and stability to the banking system. 2 My actions would affect growth by placing holds on money transactions such as holds and loans. It’s more important to increase economic growth as opposed to decreasing, ensuring lower unemployment levels. 3 When the economy remains at a constant level or declines, the ability to support the population fails. Economic growth relates to the size and quality of the economy. Growth is measured as the change in the GDP after subtracting inflation. 4 Using reserve requirements would require close monitoring on bank holds and money.

...Money Train # 1 The Federal Reserve helps control “liquidly” in the free market. During the times that banks see decreases in the reserve, they introduce the monetary policies. They can affect several things like increase the money flow into the banking system. The higher reserve indicates decrease liquidity and a slower activity in the flow of the economy. The potentials here are to have the banks increase their profit in turn allowing the banks to be more generous in lending and other regions. This allows the economic community to lend more money and the community itself to spend more money. This helps to keep the money flow stabilized and allows smaller banks to gain benefits and customers. #2 the discount rate is a rate that is set in order to maintain the rate at which a bank can borrow. Just like in any application the lower the rate the better the outlook. This enables the banks to lend to higher rips people and business. This too also helps stimulate the economy the high rate will affect the lending rate in turn lowering the economic status and economy. The Fed set the rates in this area; they hold all the cards for the people and business to become more successful. According to Mankiw, N. G. Principles of economics 4th ed (2007)” The Fed uses discount lending not only to control the money supply but also to help financial institutions when they are in trouble”. Economic growth is very important because it provides the foundation for the future of society. Economic...

Be sure to address the following: 1. How Reserve Requirements affect the economy 2. How your action will affect economic growth 3. Why it is important to increase economic growth 4. Your rationale for the use of Reserve Requirements At the end of the game, you will be provided with this information to give to your instructor. Answer: The action that I selected was to lower the reserve requirement. Lowering the reserve requirements allows the bank to free more funds for lending. This action also reduced the amount of money that the banks were required to keep in their reserves. This increased the money supply that is available for use to the economy and lowered the interest rate for consumers. This action will assist the economy by providing more relaxed funding for all consumers and will aid in sparking economic growth. With more money available and easier funding by the banks, consumers are able to spend as needed. In this case, both businesses and consumers thrive economically. Increasing the reserve would reverse would have a negative effect on the economy and would take money away from consumers and businesses and could lead to an economic downturn. Effective...

...planning on using Reserve Requirements. Be sure to address the following: 1. How Reserve Requirements affect the economy 2. How your action will affect economic growth 3. Why it is important to increase economic growth 4. Your rationale for the use of Reserve Requirements At the end of the game, you will be provided with this information to give to your instructor. Answer: Reserve requirements help to maintain a stable banking system and ensure that banks are able to conduct day-to-day check-clearing and cash-withdrawal transactions. These requirements are also one of the three monetary policy tools that the Fed can use, in principle, to control the money supply. The other two are open market operations and the discount rate. By lowering the reserve requirement, the banks will have more to loan which will expand the money stock and in the short term lower interest rate which encourages consumers and investors to buy more. When people and investors are buying more this increases economic growth. Increasing economic growth is important because it keeps society moving in a positive direction. Economic growth also contributes to advancements and increases standards of living and lowers unemployment. I chose lowering the reserve requirements because this would stimulate lending, reduce unemployment, and increase overall income so that the economy could recover.

...whole scene as I still hear others talk about it today. But one thing I do not understand about this whole “war” is why we continue to purchase expensive gas from our “rivals.” We pay them so we can get around, and that money goes to their ammunition against us and to their government which we continually fight. So what is the solution to this problem? Our cars need gas? The solution is mass transit. The gas prices are ridiculous, as many of us would agree. Us Americans seem to pay more and more for gas every day. While our nation pays twelve trillion dollars on gasoline every year. With all this useless wasted money we practically are paying our rivals who we are at war with. This is quite sad as they charge us an “arm and a leg” and we compliantly pay in order for us to get around town and to conduct business nationwide. This money that we give to the Middle East is used against us by many to commit terrorist acts, war, and more against our own people. Most people think about the buying smaller cars with better gas mileage, or even buying the mega expensive “electric cars.” But I have never heard anyone I know talk about mass transit. Mass transit would take us back to the “harry potter” days. But engineers have the ability to create fast moving trains that...

Why is such a greater proportion of freight carried by road? 3 2. Identify and discuss the advantages of moving freight by rail. 9 3. In respect of South Africa, how can Government influence freight modal split in favour of rail? 12 4. References 16 (i) Why is such a greater proportion of freight carried by road? It is a well-known fact that ‘without trucks, South Africa stops!’ Trucks are the only way to reach most factories, stores, restaurants and homes. They carry everything, from TVs and computers to clothes, medicine, children’s toys, food and construction materials – all along the production chain, to local stores and doorsteps. The current inefficiencies of the rail infrastructure in South Africa is the main cause why such a greater proportion of freight is carried by road. It is true that approximately 80% of all freight in South Africa is transported by road. The routes travelled include both proclaimed and un-proclaimed roads. The un-proclaimed roads make up an estimated 140,000 km that mostly serve rural areas. The un-proclaimed roads do not fall under the road inventory of Government and as such do not...

MODES – MEANING,FEATURES,ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES * ROAD * RAIL * WATER * AIR PHYSICAL DISTRIBUTION MEANING: Physical distribution is the set of activities concerned with efficient movement of finished goods from the end of the production operation to the consumer. Physical distribution takes place within numerous wholesaling and retailing distribution channels, and includes such important decision areas as customer service, inventory control, materials handling, protective packaging, order procession, transportation, warehouse site selection, and warehousing. Physical distribution is part of a larger process called "distribution," which includes wholesale and retail marketing, as well the physical movement of products. Physical distribution activities have recently received increasing attention from business managers, including small business owners. This is due in large part to the fact that these functions often represent almost half of the total marketing costs of a product. In fact, research studies indicate that physical distribution costs nationally amount to approximately 20 percent of the country's total gross national product (GNP). These findings have led many small businesses to expand their cost-cutting efforts beyond their historical focus on production...
