Natalija [7]

Answer:

a. Increase the direct costs of the state's debt.

Explanation:

When a bond's rating is downgraded is a signal to the investors that investing in the bond now is riskier than it was prior to the rating downgrade, hence, a perceived higher risk using the risk/return relationship means that the bond issue would have to offer a higher return to entice the investors to invest in the bonds.

As a result, the higher required rate of return translates into a higher direct cost of the state's debt since their interest rate offered has increased

Answer:

Cookie & Coffee Creations Inc.

a) Current Portion of Note Payable:

= $4,000

b) Long-term Portion of Note Payable:

= $6,000

Explanation:

Data and Calculations:

Date of Note Payable = November 1, 2017

Period = 3 years

Interest rate = 5%

Terms of payment:

Fixed principal payments = $2,000

Payment dates = May 1 and November 1

Each year's principal repayment = $4,000 ($2,000 x 2)

From November 1, 2017 to October 31, 2018 = $4,000

At October 31, 2018, Payment made = $2,000 on May 1

Remaining Note payable = $10,000 ($12,000 - $2,000)

Current Portion = $4,000 ($2,000 x 2)

Long-term Portion = $6,000

b) The current portion of $4,000 will be payable on November 1, 2018 and May 1, 2019. The current portion represents the short-term portion of the note payable, which is the portion that will be settled within a 12-months' period. Since Cookie & Coffee Creations Inc. had already paid $2,000 on May 1, 2018, the long-term portion will only remain $6,000 ($12,000 - $2,000 - $4,000), which is the difference between the total note payable, the portion paid on May 1, 2018, and the current portion of $4,000 that will be payable within one year.

The combination of expansionary monetary policy and a self-regulating economy will cause real GDP will rise to the level above natural real GDP and the recessionary gap would hence turn into an inflationary gap situation.

Monetary Policy refers to the control of the quantity of money available in an economy through which new money is supplied.

The self-regulating economy experiences a recessionary gap. The real GDP is less than the level of natural real GDP. The gap is been corrected by the rightward shift in the short-run aggregate supply curve.

Due to interplay, real GDP will rise to the level above natural real GDP and the recessionary gap turn into an inflationary gap.

eimsori [14]

Answer:

A). The demand curve looked by the flawlessly serious firms are splendidly versatile this is a result of the items selling in the ideal rivalry. The items are indistinguishable so no firm has power over the market cost, in the event that one firm builds the cost of the item the purchasers will quickly move to the result of different firms on the grounds that the items are indistinguishable. No firm has the motivator lessen the cost of their item. So the interest bend would be a level straight line corresponding to the X pivot, this demonstrates the interest is splendidly versatile. A cost increment will bring the amount requested to zero.

B). The monopolists is just the single vendor in the market, so he can charge any value he needs, yet the amount requested will be relied on the value he charges. For instance in the event that he charges a significant expense the amount demanded will be very less and the other way around. So the monopolist is capable sell more at lower costs just, the descending inclining request bend shows the negative connection between the cost and the amount requested.

C). In the ideal rivalry there is consummately flexible interest so the MR curve is likewise the interest curve of the firm. For the monopolist the MR curve lies underneath the interest curve, as the costs go bring down the MR decreases.
