Answer to Question 1

Through the multiplier effect, the closing of the military base would have a large effect on the town. The businesses that sold directly to the military personnel would lose sales, resulting in declining profits and layoffs. With less income, these business owners and workers would buy less goods and services from other businesses in town, which would drop the income of the owners and workers in the other businesses. With less income, they would also decrease their spending and the multiplier effect would spread through the town.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
