Answer:
A
Explanation:
To answer the question, we look at an extreme scenario of 0% interest rate and see the minimum repayment Jade will make on the loan taken
Therefore,
Interest Rate = 0%
This means that the loan to be paid will be calculated as follows
Monthly payments x 12 Months x 14 Years
= $195 x 12 months x 14 years = $32, 760
The meaning of this outcome is that the lower the interest rate to be paid, the higher the size of the loan, because at 2.9% the loan= $26,898.98 and at 0% rate the loan= $32, 760.
The conclusion therefore is a 2.7% interest rate which is lower than 2.9% but not as low as the extreme 0% will cause the loan amount to be higher than $26,898.98. This affirms option A.
Options B and C are wrong because 2.5% and 2.3% are lower than 2.9%, therefore, the loan amount will be higher. Option D is also wrong because a 3.1% interest rate is higher than 2.9%, therefore, the amount should be lower not higher than $26,898.98
Price discrimination is a rational strategy for a profit-maximizing monopolist when there is no opportunity for arbitrage across market segments.
<u>Option: C</u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Price disparity is a pricing strategy in which businesses charge different rates to each consumer for the same goods or services depending on how much the consumer is actually willing to pay. The consumer usually doesn't know that such actions are taking place. Thus this help monopolies to earn more profit which is drived during market arbitrage, which is basically to reap the benefits of a price gap as it is a simultaneous bartering of the same commodity in various markets. It comes about because of asymmetric knowledge among sellers and buyers.
