Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Even though the democratic republic of Congo is rich in natural resources while Switzerland has almost no natural resources, but Switzerland is among one of the richest countries while Congo is among the poorest.  

This indicates that abundant natural resources are not the only factor required for economic growth. Other factors such as human capital, physical capital, state of technology, etc. are also necessary for economic growth. Abundant natural resources cannot be efficiently utilized without these factors.  

Even if a country is not rich in natural resources but possesses these factors, it can still have high economic growth.

Bingel [31]

Answer:

B. The total interest = $4.35

Explanation:

The first question to answer, is  what is the present value of the annuity of the loan and then based on that the total interest can be calculated.

<h2>Present value of annuity= A x [(1-(1+r)-n)/r]*(1+r) </h2>

Where the A represents Annuity = or $20

The r represents the rate or 1.5%

and the n represents the number of periods which is 6 months

Calculating the value =

= 20 x [(1-1.015^-6)/0.015]*1.015

= 20 x [(1-0.91454219251)/0.015]*1.015

= 20*5.782644973

=$115.65

Now that the loan amount is known, the Total Interest can be calculated as follows

Total Interest= number of payments x monthly payments) - the loan amount (calculated above)

= 20 x 6 -115.65

= 120-115.65

The total interest = $4.35
