Principles of Economics (12th Edition), Chapter 32, Problem 1.1P

In Figure 1, the horizontal axis depicts the aggregate output (GDP) and the vertical axis depicts the price level. The likely effects of the major tax cut when the economy is not operating at a capacity and the Fed accommodates by increasing the money supply is the increase in the level of real GDP which is likely to be inflationary in nature. The effect on the price level depends on the level of closeness to the capacity the economy is operating.

It is possible to use transformational leadership strategies to reach unethical objectives.  Traditional leadership theories and morals standards are not adequate to help employees solve complex organizational issues. For the statement above, argue in position for both in favor or opposed to the statements.
Discuss the preferred deterrent method employed by the Zambian government to combat tax evasion, monetary fines. As noted in the reading the potential penalty for corporate tax evasion is a fine of 52.5% of the amount evaded plus interest assessed at 5% annually along with a possibility of jail time. In general, monetary fines as a deterrent are preferred to blacklisting of company directors, revoking business operation licenses, or calling for prison sentences. Do you agree with this preference? Should companies that are guilty of tax evasion face something more severe than a monetary fine? Something less severe? Should the fine and interest amount be set at a different rate? If so at why? Provide support and rationale for your responses.
