Answer:
In simple words, Retired, incapacity, as well as survivor payments are all part of the Social Security program. In its nature, it is very much like a defined benefit pension plan.
Most employees contribute Social Security levies on their income to apply for many of these claims; claimants' advantages are dependent on the wages earner's payments. Aside from that, benefits like Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are dependent on use.
Money supply = Currency in circulation + Checkable deposits.=600 + 900 = 1500 Billion
Current deposit ratio = Currency in Circulation/ Checkable deposits. = 600/900 = .667
Excessive reserve ratio = Excess Reserves/Checkable deposits.= 15/900 = .0167
Money multiplier = (1 + C)/(rr + ER + C)= (1 + .667)/ (.0278 + .0167 + .667) = 2.343
Answer:
PPF : Downward Sloping Straight Line
Explanation:
PPF is the locus of product combinations that an economy can produce, given resources & technology.
It is downward sloping : Because of inverse relationship between two goods- if one has to be increased other has to be decreased , because of same resources & technology.
Marginal Opportunity Cost (Slope of PPC): is ratio of a good sacrifised to gain each additional unit of the other good.
∆ Good sacrifised / ∆ Good gained
If this ratio is same i.e constant amount of a good is sacrifised to gain an additional amount of the other one , the slope of PPC is constant & it is a straight line
Eg : Good1 Good2 MOC [∆Good2/∆Good1]
0 20 _
10 10 -10/10 = -1 (10-20)/(10-0)
20 0 -10/10 = -1 (0-10)(/20-10)
So , same (1) good 2 is sacrifised to attain a good 1 each time.
However Generally: MOC is increasing , because of assumption that resources are unequally efficient in various goods production - shifting good from efficient to inefficient increases sacrifise each time. This makes PPC usually concave.
Answer:
B. 105 days of accrued interest
Explanation:
The purchase on Thursday, October 12th will settle on Monday, October 16th - 2 business days after trade date.
Accrued interest on corporate bonds is based on a 30days per month/360 day year.
And interest starts accruing from the day of the last interest payment, up to, but not including, settlement.
See below for day calculation
July 30 days
August 30 days
September 30 days
October 15 days (up to but excluding settlement)
Total 105 days
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "A": Those who are unwilling or unable to pay for the good do not obtain its benefits.
Explanation:
The excludability feature of goods does not allow individuals to have access to them without having paid for them. Thus, non-excludable goods are those that no one cannot prevent its use. <em>Private goods</em> (clothing, vehicles, houses) are excludable but they are also considered rival goods since when one person uses it another individual cannot consume the goods.
