Patterson · Answer 1

Answer: B

The government cannot control interest rates and that is the reason is why the government cannot completely control the business cycle. This is so because interest rate controls the rate of consumer spending, borrowing and spending. Say interest is low, people will borrow more and spend more and this will have an impact in the rate of employment. Hence, in short if the government cannot control interest rate, everything depending on it, the economic cycle cannot be determined.
