The Bank Rate is the interest rate that the Fed as the country's Central Bank charges commercial banks when they borrow money from it. The loans given are usually short term in nature.
The Bank Rate is a very useful tool in Monetary Policy by the Central Bank.

If the Fed wanted to decrease Economic activity, the reverse would hold true.
Answer:
° Fiscal policy
° Monetary policy
° Exchange rate policy
Explanation:
Macro economics policy are tools used by a country's government through their central bank to influence the supply of money, control interest rate in their economy which will lead to economy stability and growth. The tools are explained below. An increase in government spending will make funds available to the household and firms hence increases the volume of money supply in the economy, while a decrease in government spending will also reduce the availability of money to household and firms.
° Fiscal policy . This refers to the use of tax and government expenditure to regulate the supply of money an economy. For instance, government through its central bank uses tax cut to increase the flow of money in an economy. Also, if the government feels that the supply of money in circulation is too much, which could result in inflation, government can increase taxes to be paid by individuals, firms and businesses which in turn will reduce the availability of money.
° Monetary policy. Monetary policy refers to various tools used by the government to control the flow of money in an economy, which includes open market operation, special reserves, interest rate adjustment. For instance, the government through CBN could buy or sell government issued securities which will ultimately affect the supply of money in an economy. Also, there is usually a minimum amount of reserves which must be held by commercial banks, which ultimately affects the supply of money. An increase in reserve ratio reduces the ability of banks to lend money to their customers while and a reduction in the reserve ratio increases their ability to lend to the public hence increases money supply.
° Exchange rate policy. The value of a country's currency in relation to other country's currency is referred to as exchange rate. Exchange rate policy is used to control inflation, preserve the value of domestic currency and also to maintain a favorable external balance of payments of a country.
Answer:
10 fewer tons of pollution into the river and Firm B will dump 50 fewer tons of pollution into the river.
Explanation:
Firm B will SELL ALL of its allotted 20 permits, and clean up all of its 50 units of pollution. The price per permit will be above $50 each. Firm A will BUY ALL 20 of B's permits. It will then dump 40 tons into the water, and will clean up its remaining 10. The price it pays for a permit will be under $100.
Answer:
Firm B will sell all its permits to Firm A i.e ( lesser chemical dumps into the river )
Explanation:
Firm B will rather sell all its 20 tonnes worth of pollution permit to firm A because it would cause Firm B lesser than Firm A when they dispose off their wastes before it gets to the River hence they will rather dispose off their waste rather than paying/purchasing pollution permits while
Firm A will buy out all of Firm B's allotted pollution permits to reduce the number of tonnes they would dispose off before getting to the river. this is because it would cause them more when they dispose off their waste before getting it to the river. hence the End product of the whole arrangement will be Chemical dumps into the River will be reduced drastically to 40 overall instead of 100 due to the cost of dumping permits.

Cost of cleaning up coal ash sites is $30 million today.
If the coal ash is not cleaned up
a. There is a 10% chance the coal ash ponds flood and causes $70 million dollars in damages.
b. There is a 20% chances the coal ash seeps into the ground water causing $100 million in damages.
c. There is a 70% chance the coal ash sites cause no damage to the state of North Carolina.
1. What is the expected benefit of cleaning up the coal ash site (i.e. how much do we expect to avoid in future damages)?
2. What sort of analysis would you undertake to advise the governor? Would you recommend the governor require Duke clean up the coal ash sites? (no need to complete calculation, just write the formula used for decision making)?
Answer:
1) expected benefits of cleaning up coal ash site is $27 million
2) The expected benefits of cleaning the site are less than the costs of cleaning them ($30 million cost > $27 million benefits). But the problem is that the cleaning costs will be covered by Duke Energy today, but in the future, there is a risk that the costs will be covered by the state government. Companies are not eternal and even industry leaders like Kodak, Sears, Toys R Us, Radio Shack, GM, etc., have gone bankrupt. The difference between the costs and the benefits is not that large to risk the state government having to pay for the cleaning costs in the future.
Explanation:
Costs of cleaning coal ash $30 million
