- part of credit history
Grant or Scholarship
- given on the basis of financial need
- Given based on academic achievement and financial need
The major difference between loans and scholarships is that loans will have to be repaid and scholarships do not.
The budget constrain is how much of each good can Joe's buy and it's given by:
Income = P_f * Q_f +P_s * Q_s
P_f = Price_of_Food
Q_f = Quantity_of_Food
P_s = Price_of_Shelter
Q_s = Quantity_of_Shelter
In case a):
300 = 5*Q_f(a) + 100*Q_s
in case b):
300 = 10*Q_f(b) + 100*Q_s
To draw each line, you can make a graphic in which the x axis is Q_s and y axis is Q_f
set Q_f = 0 and solve for Q_s which gives => Q_s = 3 so, in the x axis the line will start in Q_s = 3
the same, and solve for Q_f and it'll give =>
Q_f(a) = 60
Q_f(b) = 30
So, from the start in x axis in Q_s = 3 you draw the line (a) to the y axis Q_f(a) = 60 and you draw the line (b) to the y axis Q_f(b) = 30
To get the oportunity cost you have to divide the cost of what is given up (food) by what is gained (shelter).
Oportunity_Cost_Food(a) = 5/100 = 0.05
Oportunity_Cost_Food(b) = 10/100 = 0.10
As you can see, the oportunity cost of food increase
The government can control tariffs and can limit how much can be imported into the usa.
The government can provide subsidies to certain producers, typically farmers.
The government can put a ceiling and a floor on prices as they wish. They can control the lowest and highest price a commodity can sell for.
The government can own public works such as a water company if they feel they can provide the service for a lower cost than the local competitors.
The government can decide which companies are monopolies and which companies are violating federal policies regarding trade. The government has the power to break up monopolies.
Each of these has advantages and disadvantages. For example, for farmers, when prices on their crops are too low, the government "gives" them money for their crops so they can stay in business.
A monopoly business controls the price and supply. If the monopoly is broken up, then competitors can enter the field- this can help drive down prices.
If the government can provide utility services for cheaper, that is good.
Answer:
C. 2 percent.
Explanation:
The computation of the annual real rate of interest is presented below:
Provided that
Nominal annual interest rate = 8%
Inflation rate = 5%
So, the annual real rate of interest is
Real rate of return = {( 1 + nominal annual rate of return) ÷ ( 1 + inflation rate)} - 1
= {( 1 + 0.08) ÷ ( 1 + 0.05)} - 1
= 2%
