Answer: $300 billion
Explanation:
The real deficit that a Government has is one that has been adjusted for inflationary effects. It is calculated by subtracting the inflation rate times the total debt from the nominal deficit.
= Nominal deficit - (Inflation rate * Total debt)
= 1.5 trillion - ( 10% * 12 trillion)
= 1.5 trillion - 1.2 trillion
= $300 billion
Answer:
The correct answer is The fundamental attribution error.
Explanation:
The Fundamental Attribution Error (EFA) is a phenomenon that occurs when we try to explain our own behavior with respect to that of others. Many times we find it hard to understand why a person acts as he acts. And we do not stop to look for the reasons that are the basis of their behavior.
A very clear example is to suspend an exam. If you have to explain to someone why you have suspended the exam, you probably mean that it was very difficult, that you had not rested, did not have time to study or even that the teacher suspended you.
Now imagine that it is another person who suspends and you have approved. Surely if you have to explain why you have suspended you will explain that it is a bit vague, that you have not studied enough and even that you were not interested in approving.
Home loan amount = $165,000
Estimated closing costs = $6,187.50
% of estimated closing cost = ?
$165,000 * x% = $6,187.50
x% = $6,187.50 ÷ $165,000
x% = 0.0375
x = 0.0375 x 100 = 3.75
Therefore, estimated closing costs = 3.75% of loan amount = 3.75% of $165,000
Actual closing costs = 3.5% of loan amount = 3.5% of $165,000 = $5775
Difference in estimated and actual closing cost percent = 3.75% - 3.5% = 0.25%
The closing costs were lower than the estimate by 0.25%
