The purpose of money is that it is a store of value, unit of account and a medium of exchange.

Money is a store of value because it holds a value to pay for something else. Money is used to purchase items you want and depending on how much money you have it creates a value that is enough to purchase something else. Money is also a unit of account because it holds a numeric value that is important to the holder and the organizations so that people can spend their items on things they want/need. Money is also a medium of exchange because it is used as an exchange for a good or service that the consumer wants.

postnew [5]

Answer:

The supply of savings increases.

Explanation:

We know that the supply of loanable funds is dependent upon the amount of deposits in the savings account. Supply curve of loanable funds represents the direct relationship between the quantity supplied and the interest rate. It is a upward sloping curve which indicates that an increase in the interest rate will lead to increase the quantity supply of loanable funds.

Q 5.7: Hale Company sells merchandise on account for $1,000 to Long Company with credit terms of 2/10, n/30. Long Company return

Ghella [55]

Answer:

Ans. The amount of the check is $784

Explanation:

Hi, from the initial balance of $1,000, we have to substract the returned merchandise, which was $200, therefore, Long Company owes Hale Company, $800 if Long Company pays within day 11th to 30th of the day of purchase. Since Long Company plans to pay within the first 10 days from the date of purchase, they would be granted a 2% discount on their remaining balance, therefore, the amount that Long Company has to write the check for is:

$Check=Remaining Balance*(1-Discount)$

It should look like this

$Check=800*(1-0.02)=784$

So, Long would have to write a check for $784, that is if it pays within the first 10 days from the date of purchase.

Best of luck.
