Answer:
The answer is: C) Investment spending by businesses varies inversely with the interest rate.
Explanation:
This statement is true all the time. When a company evaluates the costs and benefits of an investment, interest rate plays a fundamental part in those calculations. The two basic reasons for that are:
- The higher the interest rate a company (or any individual) has to pay for a loan, the harder it is for the company to repay the loan.
- The interest rate a bank charges is usually correlated to the opportunity cost of an investment. The higher the interest rates banks charge, the higher the internal rate of return (which is used to calculate the Net Present Value of an investment) will be. This is because banks don´t print money, they take in deposits and then they loan the money the someone else. So if the interest rate the bank charges is high, usually the interest rates the bank pays for the deposits is also high. Instead of investing, a company might just put their money on the bank and earn a better return rate.

Answer:
2) assumption not made
Explanation:
The original statement does not include any assumption about what the companies are doing about this issue, it just proposes an idea of fair compensation.
maybe whoever wrote this statement believes that very few companies or none at all actually compensate homeowners for a reduction in the market value of their properties, but it doesn't state it. It is also possible that the statement assumes that companies are paying some compensations or were paying some compensations but are not willing to continue to do it since no legislation forces them to do so. The author's position is vague and not clear with respect to what the companies are currently doing.
Had to look for the options and here is my answer. Given that the bank possesses a liability that is worth $150 billion and its net worth is only $20 billion, then this would mean that the bank must have ASSETS OF $170 BILLION. Hope this answers your question.
