Answer:

1. The average net pay per month increase is $49.

2. The average net pay increase per month is 2.3%.

This question asks us to compare the pay increase to inflation rate.

In order to make this comparison, we need to first determine the average monthly pay increase in dollars.

We calculate that by:

Monthly pay increase in dollars = This year's monthly pay - Last year's monthly pay

Monthly pay increase in dollars = 2225 - 2176 = 49

Next we determine the rate at which the monthly average increased.

We use the following formula to calculate this:

Percentage increase in net pay = \frac{Increase in average monthly pay}{Last year's average monthly pay} * 100

Percentage increase in net pay per month = \frac{49}{2176} * 100

Percentage increase in net pay per month is 2.3%.

We then compare the increase in pay per month to the inflation rate.

If the increase is pay is equal to or greater than the inflation rate, the pay is keeping pace with the cost of living. If the pay rise is less than the inflation rate, the pay is not keeping pace with the cost of living.

qwelly [4]

Answer:

moral hazard

Explanation:

Banks reduce the risk of moral hazard when they monitor and supervise how their clients are using the loans and credits made to them.

Some types of credits do not require any type of monitoring or control, e.g. a credit card which a client can use basically however he/she wants to. But other types of credit that are taken for purchasing assets, e.g. a mortgage, must be used by the bank's client to specifically carryout the intended activity.

In economics, moral hazard refers to the tendency that an economic party can engage in unusually risky activities because the capital (money) that they are investing is not theirs and the negative effects of a potential loss will be suffered most by other parties.

California real estate licensee carmen has an mlo endorsement on her license. which of these actions is she required to take?
a_sh-v [17]

She is required to include her MLO unique identification number on her business cards. Carmen is required by the law governing mortgage loan originators to include her distinctive identification on her business cards, but, not on real estate signage.

The first step in obtaining a mortgage is to speak with a loan originator, often known as a mortgage loan originator (MLO). An MLO's initial task is to convince you that working with them is your best alternative for borrowing money. The second is to direct you toward the settlement table. A loan originator is mostly a salesperson and just secondarily a loan approval chaperone.

The MLO, the borrowers, the processors, underwriters, and closers are all focused on the same successful end since mortgage loan approval is a team sport. Managing the team is the responsibility of the Loan Originator or MLO.

To know more about MLO refer here:
