1. Explain how each of the following events affects the AD curve a. An increase in consumer confidence leads to higher consumption spending. Aggregate demand shifts to the right Aggregate demand is unchanged Aggregate demand shifts to the let b. The government reduces income taxes. Aggregate demand shifts to the left Aggregate demand is unchanged Aggregate demand shifts to the right2. Explain how each of the following events affects the AS curve. a. The Fed increases the money supply. Aggregate supply is unchanged Aggregate supply shifts to the right Aggregate supply shifts...

Explain how the downgrading of bonds for a particular
corporation affects the prices of those bonds, the return to
investors that currently hold these bonds, and the potential return
to other investors who may invest in the bonds in the near
future
1. Explain the no-load saturation curve and the paragraph
curve of the synchronous generator and then explain how to obtain
the paragraph ratio (including the reason for the short-circuit
curve becoming a straight line when the field current increases)
Please describe the characteristics of a large synchronous
generator.
2. Explain the phenomena that occurs when the number of
revolutions of one of the two synchronous generators is running in
parallel and the number of revolution is unknown, disperse the load...
Explain how each of the following affects the aggregate supply
and/or aggregate demand curve and equilibrium GDP and prices in the
short and long run. Does your answer depend on where the economy is
in terms of full employment when the change happens?
Consumer spending increases
Investment spending increases
Government spending is reduced
US exports fall
Tax rates are lowered
Raw material (e.g., energy) prices rise
Wages increase
Name the two hypotheses that are meant to explain the shape of
the yield curve.
a) Liquidity Preference and the Efficient Market
Hypothesis
b) Yield Compression and Present Value Bias
c) Present Value Bias and Expected Returns
d) Liquidity Preference and Unbiased Expectations
