Answer:
B) As long as the Fed's announcement is credible, workers and firms will reduce their consumption and investment spending, which will reduce aggregate demand and reduce inflation.
Explanation:
If the FED announces that it will increase the federal funds rate, it will increase the interest that banks charge other banks for lending them money in order to comply with the reserve ratio. This increase would make banks hand out less loans and be more careful in order to reduce their need for overnight funds.
If banks reduce their loans, their capacity for creating money will also be reduced, lowering the consumption level and investment spending of both workers (households) and private firms.
Answer:
Total amount of dividends paid over the last three years is $20500
Explanation:
The net income of the company is either retained in the company or paid out as dividends. To calculate the value of the ending retained earnings, we use the following formula,
Ending balance = Beginning balance + Net Income - Dividends
We first need to calculate the total net income for the 3 year period. The total net income for the 3 year period is, 3 * 6500 = $19500
Plugging in the available values for the ending and beginning balance of retained earnings and net income, we can calculate the value of total dividends paid for the three year period.
15000 = 16000 + 19500 - Dividends
Dividends = 35500 - 15000
Dividends = $20500
Answer:20,5369%
Explanation:We know APR is the Annual Percentage Rate that is paid over a loan. If we are to pay during 78 months at most $510 each month, then we could pay in total 510*78=$39780 in the course of the six years and a half that constitute the 78 months. This means that yearly we can pay in interest $39780/6,5=$6120 each year, this represents the interest over the loaned money, i.e., the $29800. Then the APR is
annualy or 1,71141% monthly and it is the highest APR you could afford, 20.5369%
The best answer for this question would be A. :)
