Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A ten-quarter chart shows GDP growth recovering from negative 2 percent to 1.5 percent, unemployment falling from 8.8 percent to 6.2 percent, inflation rising from 1.2 percent to 4.9 percent, and the policy rate still low at 1.5 percent. Which recommendation is most justified at Quarter 10?

BIgnore inflation because unemployment is above zero.
CBegin gradual rate increases to prevent overheating while the recovery continues.
DCut rates immediately to zero again.
Solution & Explanation:The recovery is underway, but inflation has climbed sharply while rates remain low, so a gradual tightening is the most balanced response.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

AIt removes the need for monetary policy forever.
BIt can support demand without adding as much inflation risk or government borrowing.
