<span>American Express credit cards and credit cards in general are a type of revolving charge account. Credit cards are regarded as a revolving charge account or revolving credit because if the balance is not paid off by the period specified, it will roll over to the next period (and collect interest), thus "revolving" into the next period. This is how the debt compounds if you are not responsible with your credit cards.</span>
Answer:
(A) Fixed exchange rate regime
(B) Fixed exchange rate
(C) Flexible exchange rate
(D) Flexible exchange rate
Explanation:
(A) A fixed exchange rate regime signals a commitment not to engage in inflationary policies. NOTE: Inflationary policies are a type of monetary policies (the type used to pump money into the economy). See answer (D).
(B) A fixed exchange rate regime provides certainty about the value of a currency, for example, when the exchange rate between Philippine Pesos and Arab Emirate Dollars is fixed at 10PHP - 1AED, traders in this currency will be certain that at any planning time in business, investment or consumption, 10 PHP will be equal to 1 AED.
(C) Flexible exchange rate distorts incentives for importing and exporting goods and services. What are these incentives? On the government side, it is either the revenue that government makes from import tariffs and duties OR the subsidy that government pays on exported goods. On the importer/exporter side, it is the custom duties paid by importers on imported goods AND the subsidies enjoyed by exporters on exported products. A flexible exchange rate distorts or fluctuates these incentives.
(D) Flexible exchange rate enables policy makers to engage in monetary policy. Now, monetary policy is a tool used by ministers of finance or policy makers in every country; to regulate (increase or reduce or bring back to normal) spending and investment. If the exchange rate between or among countries were fixed, monetary policies would have limited application or usefulness when implemented. A flexible exchange rate encourages and enables engagement in or use of monetary policies.
Traditionally, the formulas used to express a firm's cost of equity are the dividend capitalization model and the capital asset pricing model (CAPM).
Explanation:
Generally, two risk components determine a firm's cost of equity. The first is the systematic risk associated with the broader equity market. All firms are exposed to this risk, and it cannot be mitigated through diversification.
The second risk component is the unsystematic risk associated with the firm in question. This risk, often reflected as beta, a measure of the stock's volatility in relation to the volatility of the broader market, can be mitigated via diversification.
