Is it possible that there really was a krait under the sheet?

1 answer:

7 0

I read the story Poison by Roald Dahl.

There is a possibility that there truly was a krait under the sheet. However, it may also be a figment of Harry's imagination because the krait did not bite Harry during the long hours it took them to check if it really is under the sheet.

Indian krait is a species of venomous snakes found in the Indian subcontinent. It is mostly found in the jungles but it can also be found in people's houses where warm places are abundant.

Answer:

The demand and the supply of loanable funds both remained the same.

Explanation:

If the interest rates rise, but both demand and supply of loanable funds remanin constant, this means that demand and supply remained the same.

This would be a problem in the real world, because when interest rates rise, what should happen is that the supply of funds rise, while demand falls, because a rise in interest rates makes investment more expensive since interset rates are simply the price of the loanable funds.

Answer:

The value of the stock at the given discount rate is $9.5

Explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the value of the stock at the given discount rate.

To do this, we employ a mathematical formula;

Value of the stock = Expected dividend ÷ (discount rate-growth rate)

According to the question, we identify the following;

Expected dividend = $1.58

Growth rate(negative) = -1.15% = -1.15/100 = -0.0115

Discount rate = 15.5% = 15.5/100 = 0.155

Plugging these values into the equation, we have;

Value of the stock = 1.58 ÷ (0.155 - (-0.0115)

Value of the stock = 1.58/(0.155 + 0.0115)

Value of the stock = 1.58/0.1665 = $9.5

KiRa [710]

Answer:

Long run real GDP will remain unchanged.

Explanation:

The increase in personal taxes (-$20 billion) would offset any increase in real GDP generated by the increase in private consumption ($20 billion). Nominal GDP can be affected and increase by $20 billion, but the effect would be given by an increase in general price level (inflation), not by an increase in real money.
