Answer:

The correct choice from given options is <u>"$13.6 trillion".</u>

Explanation:

Native Americans sold the island of Manhattan about 400 years ago for $24

n = number of years = 400

Amount spent on island = $24

Interest rate of invested amount = 7 percent per year

r = 7% = 0.07

Cost today= (1+r)ⁿ x Amount spent on island

= (1+0.07)⁴⁰⁰ x $24

<u>= $13.6 trillion</u>

nordsb [41]

population of the United States was 254.6 million. The​ working-age population is divided into those in the labor force​ (160.2 million) and those not in the labor force​ (94.4 million). The labor force is divided into the employed​ (153.2 million) and the unemployed​ (7.1 million). Those not in the labor force are divided into those not available for work​ (88.7 million) and those available for work​ (5.7 million).​ Finally, those available for work but not in the labor force are divided into discouraged workers​ (0.5 million) and those currently not working for other reasons​ (5.2 million).

Use this data to help determine which one of the following statements is​ true:

The unemployment rate is

7.1 million / 160.2 million×100=4.4%.

The labor force participation rate is

160.2 million /

254.6 million×100=62.9%.

N.B

Check the attachment for full question

Answer:

D. Both A and B are correct

Explanation:

The unemployment rate is 4.4%

That is unemployed/labour force = (7.1million/160.2 million ) * 100 = 4.4%

Labour force participation rate is 62.9%

Suppose a banking system has $120 million in deposits, a required reserve ratio of 20 percent, and total bank reserves for the w
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

$380 million

Explanation:

Given that,

Deposits = $120 million

Required reserve ratio = 20 percent

Total bank reserves = $100 million

Required reserve ratio refers to the portion of deposits that is kept with the reserve bank.

Required reserves:

= Deposits × Required reserve ratio

= $120 million × 0.2

= $24 million

Excess reserves:

= Total reserves - Required reserves

= $100 - $24

= $76

So, there is a excess reserves in this economy.

Money multiplier = 1/Required reserve ratio

                            = 1/0.2

                            = 5

Therefore, the total money creation potential of this deposit is as follows:

= Excess reserves × Money multiplier

= $76 × 5

= $380 million

Hence, an increase in deposit creation by $380 million.
