Economics - March 2007

Suppose the Federal Reserves trading desk buys $500,000 in T-bills from a securities dealer, who then deposits the Fed’s check in the Best National Bank. Use a balance sheet to show the impact on the bank’s loans. Consider the money multiplier and assume the required reserve ratio is 10 percent. What is the maximum increase in the money supply that can result from this open market transaction?

As a business person who provides products and service, I am regularly amazed, frustrated and ultimately disenchanted by how many potential and actual customers of mine haven't a clue as to how to calculate an intelligent/knowledgeable purchase or repair. It seems as though it is far too frequently about saving an immediate dime rather than determining the best overall or longterm cost of things. Any ideas? I cannot understand this line of reasoning and believe me, I have tried.

What are some good websites and resources that debate the question, "Does capitalism make kids behave badly?"?
I am doing a paper on the effects of capitalism on a society and how it affects kids and adults behavior-wise. I thought of this topic, but am not sure if there are any good resources for it.
Thank you for answering!
