Answer:
If the government sets out to make home buying easier for more people by forcing lenders to accept LOWER down payments and LOWER interest rates, the result will likely be an INCREASE in housing prices
Explanation:
If either interest rates or down payment amounts lower, the quantity demanded for houses will increase a little, possible leading to a small increase in the prices of houses.
If both interest rates and down payment amounts lower, then the quantity demanded for houses should increase a lot, which will result in an increase in the prices of houses.
This happened during the first decade of our century and everything was fine until the interest rates started to increase and people could no longer pay their mortgages and BOOM, the economy busted.
GDP is the total market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time.

Answer:
$0
Explanation:
Alfred paid in premiums = $18,300
company paid Alfred = $125,000
Alfred died after 18 months, then,
Company collected the face amount of the policy = $150,000
Sale of policy = [ company compensation - premium paid]
= $125,000 - $18,300
= $106,700
In this situation, Alfred receives the submission price from the insurance company consequential in profit.
There is no gain in the income of the insurance policy that is purchased by the Alfred for the long term.
That's why he is not required to include the amount of sale of policy i.e. $106,700.
Hence, Alfred required to include in his gross income will be zero ($0).
