Assume that the central bank increases the reserve requirement. If the nation has highly mobile international capital markets and a flexible exchange rate system, what happens to the real risk-free interest rate and net nonreserve-related international borrowing/lending in the context of the Three-Sector-Model?
a. The real risk-free interest rate rises, and net nonreserve-related international borrowing/lending becomes more positive (or less negative).
b. There is not enough information to determine what happens to these two macroeconomic variables.
c. The real risk-free interest rate and net nonreserve-related international borrowing/lending remain the same.
d. The real risk-free interest rate rises, and net nonreserve-related international borrowing/lending becomes more negative (or less positive).
e. The real risk-free interest rate falls, and net nonreserve-related international borrowing/lending becomes more negative (or less positive).

Recall the Application about determining the optimal level of methane abatement to answer the following question(s).Recall the Application. The EPA has estimated the cost of methane recovery at different recovery levels. Given those costs, the efficient level of methane recovery:
A. depends on the estimate of the marginal benefit of methane recovery. B. is zero because the costs exceed the benefits. C. will increase if scientists determine that methane is not as harmful as it is currently thought to be. D. will include only recovery from landfills and coal mines, but not from natural gas distribution.
