Explanation of Solution

When the government budget is at deficit it will make the country vulnerable and instable.This could lead to pressurize the central banks as they should provide the necessary money needed. Furthermore, when the country is not stable the central bank could be attacked as it is also in that country. When the government is at debt, it will ask for money from the central bank and the bank should provide the government with necessary money that is needed and this could make the centrals bank's job harder as the bank should allocate the money properly according to what it has in it reserves.

Economics Concept Introduction

Deficit:

A deficit takes place when the government spending is more than the revenue and the total of all the deficits that took place before is the debt of the state.

1. A town relies on four different sources for its non-drinking water needs: dam water, reclaimed water, rain water, and desalinated water. The different sources carry different risks and costs. For instance, desalinated water is fully reliable due to abundant sea water, but it is more expensive than other options. Reclaimed water also has relatively lower risk than rain or dam water since a certain amount can be obtained, even during the dry. season, by the treatment of daily generated waste water. Using any of the four options requires an investment in that resource. The return on a particular water source is defined as the amount of water generated by the source per dollar of investment in it. The expected returns and standard deviations of those returns for the four water sources are described in the following table: Water resource Expected return St. Deviation Dam water 2.7481 0.2732 Reclaimed water 1.6005 0.0330 Rain water 0.5477 0.2865 Desalinated water 0.3277 0.0000 Higher…
