Suppose that the economy is experiencing a recession with an estimated recessionary gap of $20 billion. Congress is considering the use of fiscal policy to ease the recession, but due to current political sentiments, it has determined that the maximum spending increase the government is willing to support is $1 billion. It wants to make up the remainder of the recessionary gap using tax cuts. If a spending increase of $1 billion is approved and the MPC is 0.9, by how much will taxes need to be reduced to close the remainder of the recessionary gap

Aproduction line has three machines a, b, and c, with reliabilities of .96, .86, and .85, respectively. the machines are arranged so that if one breaks down, the others must shut down. engineers are weighing two alternative designs for increasing the line’s reliability. plan 1 involves adding an identical backup line, and plan 2 involves providing a backup for each machine. in either case, three machines (a, b, and c) would be used with reliabilities equal to the original three. a. compute overall system reliability under plan 1. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability b. compute overall system reliability under plan 2. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability c. which plan will provide the higher reliability? plan2plan1
