Scenario 1: suppose savers either buy bonds or make deposits in savings accounts at banks. initially, the interest income earned on bonds or deposits is taxed at a rate of 20%. now suppose there is a decrease in the tax rate on interest income, from 20% to 15%. shift the appropriate curve on the graph to reflect this change.

this change in the tax treatment of saving causes the equilibrium interest rate in the market for loanable funds to _(fall/ and the level of investment spending to / .

an investment tax credit effectively lowers the tax bill of any firm that purchases new capital in the relevant time period. suppose the government implements a new investment tax credit.

shift the appropriate curve on the graph to reflect this change.

the implementation of the new tax credit causes the interest rate to / and the level of investment / .

initially, the government's budget is balanced, then the government responds to the conclusion of a war by significantly reducing defense spending without changing taxes.

this change in spending causes the government to run a / , / national saving.

shift the appropriate curve on the graph to reflect this change.

this causes the interest rate to / , /crowding the level of investment spending.

The hawthorne works was a large western electric factory with 45,000 employees. during the 1920s and 1930s, hawthorne works was the site of some well-known industrial studies. in one of the studies, researchers investigated the impact of different working conditions on worker productivity. prior to the start of the study, researchers secretly measured workers' productivity for several weeks. then researchers chose two workers, who then chose their own teams. the teams were separated from the general workforce and completed their work in different experiment rooms where the researchers could observe them more easily. over a 5-year period researchers manipulated the structure of the workday for each team (number and duration of breaks and number of hours per shift). for each of these changes in working conditions, the researchers measured the effect on productivity. for some conditions, such as frequent short breaks, workers rebelled by intentionally decreasing productivity.why did the researchers secretly measure the workers' productivity before creating the two treatment groups? a, to create similar treatment groups so that a cause-and-effect relationship could be establishedb, to draw conclusions about the productivity of all workers in the plant based on the test groupsc, to directly control for confounding variablesd, to provide a baseline for measuring worker productivity

Read the overview below and complete the activities that follow.apartment complexes often look for ways to recruit new tenants and retain current tenants. although apartment complexes offer the tangible benefit of shelter to their tenants, many apartment complexes also offer additional services to tenants to encourage tenants to stay or to support the rent prices. the following scenario identifies the several service gaps of a company that runs an apartment complex as well as solutions for reducing these service gaps.concept review: customers have certain expectations about how a service should be delivered. a service gap occurs when the delivery of a service fails to meet customer expectations. there are four types of service gaps: knowledge gap, standards gap, delivery gap, and the communications gap. it is important for marketers to identify these gaps and develop strategies for minimizing them.match the example or solution to the appropriate service gap category.1. wait for repairs 5. train employees well2. understand expectations 6. incentives for tenants3. do not overpromise 7. family movie night4. empower employees 8. delayed lawn careservice gap example solutionknowledge gap standards gap delivery gap communication gap
