One form of economic stimulus that state governments can use is to exempt certain types of purchases from state sales tax.
 
  For example, a law that permanently exempts business equipment from state sales tax may stimulate purchases of these goods because the law effectively reduces the price of the equipment. Business equipment such as computers or vehicles are durable goods, so should we expect the tax exemption program to have more impact on equipment demand in the short run or long run? A) More impact in the long run because business equipment demand becomes more income elastic in the long run
  B) More impact in the long run because business equipment demand becomes more price elastic in the long run
  C) More impact in the short run because business equipment demand becomes more income elastic in the long run
  D) More impact in the short run because business equipment demand becomes more price inelastic in the long run

Question 2

The law of small numbers describes:
 
  A) the tendency for people to overstate the probability associated with rare events.
  B) the ability to correctly estimate the expected outcome from a small number of events.
  C) the higher probability that small numbers (like 1, 2, and 3 ) occur in random samples relative to large number (like 8 or 9 ).
  D) the improved accuracy of averages to estimate relatively small numbers (on the order of 1 or 10 ) than relatively large numbers (on the order of 1,000 or 10,000 ).
