Under President Calvin Coolidge, the following factors contributed to economic growth:

1. **An increase in the production of consumer goods by factories** - This was a key factor as the 1920s saw significant advancements in manufacturing and production techniques.

2. **An increase in the number of stocks bought and sold by the public** - The stock market expanded during this period, contributing to the economic boom.

Therefore, the correct responses would be:

- **an increase in the production of consumer goods by factories**
- **an increase in the number of stocks bought and sold by the public**

Careful government regulation of business and discouraging the accumulation of debt do not accurately reflect the policies of the Coolidge administration, which were more characterized by minimal regulation and a generally pro-business stance.
