<span>When it is reported that a nation is experiencing a "balance of payments deficit," this is best interpreted to mean that the nation is experiencing? If it is reported that the nation is experiencing a balance of payments deific, the country is importing more goods, services and capital than it is exporting. When this happens, the nation has to borrow funds and items from other countries to help pay for what they are importing until the have the cash funds to pay for them, themselves.

Suppose the price of a bag of tortilla chips decreases from $3.00 to $2.50 and, as a result, the quantity of tortilla chips dema
Tresset [83]

Answer:

2.20

Explanation:

The Price elasticity will be:

Δdemand/ΔPrice

<u>The mid point is used to calculate the increases.</u>

Δdemand = ΔQ/midpointQ

(Q2+Q1)/2 = mid point quantity = (300+ 200)/2 = 250

ΔQ = 300-200 = 100

Δdemand = 100/250 = 0.4

<u>Same procedure is applied with the Price numbers:</u>

Δprice = ΔP/midpointP

(P2+P1)/2 = mid point price = (3+ 2.5)/2 = 2.75

ΔP = 2.5-3 = 0.5

Δprice = 0.5 / 2.75 = 0.181818

FInally we calculate the price elasticity:

Δdemand/ΔPrice

0.4/0.1818181818 = 2.2

Robin needs $25,000 to start a business. In her search for the best (low cost) loan, she has gathered the following information
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Bank A

Explanation:

To recommend from which bank Robin should borrow from, we need to calculate the interest which is the cost of borrowing from each of the banks.

Note:

Interest amount = Total amount to repay - Loan amount .................. (1)

Equation (1) is used as follows:

Bank A:

Interest = ($9,000 × 3) - $25,000 = $27,000 - $25,000 = $2,000

Interest/loan rate = ($2,000 ÷ $25,000) × 100 = 8%

Bank B:

Interest = ($7,000 × 4) - $25,000 = $28,000 - $25,000 = $3,000

Interest/loan rate = ($3,000 ÷ $25,000) × 100 = 12%

Bank C:

Interest = ($6,000 × 5) - $25,000 = $30,000 - $25,000 = $5,000

Interest/loan rate = ($5,000 ÷ $25,000) × 100 = 20%

Recommendation

Robin should borrow from Bank A since it offers the lowest loan rate of 8%.
