What challenge do policy-makers face when contemplating large changes in spending levels for the federal budget

Negative view/pressure from the public

Explanation:

In general, it took a considerable amount of time before The benefits from Large changes in spending levels for the federal budget can be felt. (it acted as some sort of future investment ).

Since the new program most likely require an increase in federal budget, the government tend to increase the tax rate from the citizens to cover for the expense.

Since the public cannot felt the benefit at the current time, The Government will have to face negative pressure from the public and have to work extra hard to convince the public that they will benefit from the new changes in the future.

there are isolated pockets of farming, generally around rivers and oases, which are used for irrigation.

marginal cost is a microeconomic measure that us to evaluate the extent to which the level of production of a good is sustainable in accounting, that is, to how many quantities the company plans to profit from the production of the good.

the concept of marginal cost is simple, it means the cost of producing one more item. for example, in the case of pies, the marginal cost is the cost of producing one more pie than those that have already been produced.

it is important to understand that productive activity influences marginal cost. the marginal cost of some goods can be very high, while others may be insignificant. for example, the marginal cost of producing an extra plane is very high. already the marginal cost of a water company to provide 1l more water is derisory.

in the case of pies, the cost involves the inputs, the labor and the fixed cost, which involves the fixed space of the bakery. the level of production initially has the marginal cost decreasing because there is space and manpower available. however, to produce more you have to hire more workers and buy more inputs. if physical space is limited, workers will conflict with places, inputs and their productivity will decrease, meaning there is an optimum point of production for each level of space and manpower. from this point on, the productivity of the workers will be getting smaller because of lack of space, so that the marginal cost of producing one more pie will be increasing. so, although you have not posted the chart, but if you have the answer, you can see that my explanation goes according to the marginal cost curve that will increase from the 4th pie, answer (c).
