re as follows: Property Insurance Automobile Insurance Sales $4,200,000 $12,000,000 Less variable expenses 3,830,000 9,600,000 Contribution margin $370,000 $2,400,000 Less direct fixed expenses 400,000 500,000 Segment margin $(30,000) $1,900,000 Less common fixed expenses (allocated) 100,000 200,000 Operating income (loss) $(130,000) $1,700,000 The president of the company is considering dropping the property insurance.

All of the following lead people to be credit constrained except a person's credit history. savings. collateral. banking regulat
NikAS [45]

Answer:

  • Banking regulations
  • Lower interest rates on bank loans.

Explanation:

Being credit constrained means that one is unable to borrow because the lenders do not think the individual is capable of paying back.

A person's credit history, savings level and collateral are all very useful in determining if they have the ability to pay back debt. Banking regulations do not directly lead to a credit constraint.

Lower interests on bank loans is only given to more creditworthy entities whom the bank feels will be able to pay back. A credit constrained person is risky and will therefore draw a higher rate from banks to balance that risk.

BabaBlast [244]
