Answer:
a. The discount rate is the
- interest rate at which banks can borrow reserves from the Federal Reserve.
The discount rate is the interest rate that the FED charges commercial banks, credit unions, or other financial institutions for lending them money.
b. If the Fed were to decrease the discount rate, banks will borrow
- more reserves, causing an increase in lending and the money supply.
Lowering the discount rate is considered part of an expansionary monetary policy since banks will borrow more money and lend more money to the public, increasing the money supply.
Answer:
C. A smaller proportion of the last monthly payment will be interest, and a larger proportion will be principal, than for the first monthly payment.
Explanation:
I prepared a summary of an amortization schedule to explain this:
principal = $100,000
r = 8% annual
n = 360 months
first payment = $733.76: $666.67 are interests and only $67.09 reduces principal
second payment = $733.76: $665.95 are interests and only $67.54 reduces principal
last payment = $733.76: $4.90 are interests and only $728.86 reduces principal to $0
Answer:
1. Neither ; 2. Consumer Surplus ; 3. Producer Surplus
Explanation:
Consumer Surplus is the difference between a good's price paid by consumer, & maximum price the consumer is willing to pay for the good.
Producer Surplus is the difference between a good's price received by a seller, & minimum price at which the seller is willing to sell the good.
1. Willing to pay $209 for watch, buyer willing to sell at $196, no trade as price ceiling at $190 : It illustrates neither concept as transaction has not actually occurred, so no price established.
2. Willing to pay $39 for sweater, purchased it for $32 : It illustrates 'Consumer Surplus' case = $7 , as it shows difference between maximum willingness to pay by buyer ($39) & the actual buy price ($32)
3. Willing to sell laptop at $190, sold it at $199 : It illustrates 'Producer Surplus' case = $9 , as it shows difference between minimum willingness to sell price ($190) & actual sale price ($199)
Answer:
Debt Ratio = Total Debt Total/ Assets
Equity Multiplier = Assets/Equity
<h2>
Lots of Debt</h2>
Debt Ratio
= 32.5/34.25
= 0.95
Equity Multiplier
= 34.25/2
= 17.13
<h2>
Lots of Equity </h2>
Debt Ratio
= 2/34.25
= 0.06
Equity Multiplier
= 34.25/32.25
= 1.06
