Answer: False
Explanation:
The real interest rate is the nominal interest rate adjusted for inflation.
If the nominal interest rate was made with inflation in mind and this inflation is less than anticipated, the real rate will be higher not lower than expected.
For instance: Assume the nominal rate is 8% and the two parties assumed inflation would be 4%. Real rate would be:
= 8 - 4 = 4%
If inflation is instead 2%, real rate would be:
= 8 - 2 = 6%
Real rate would be higher than anticipated.

Price discrimination is when the same product is sold at different prices to customers in different markets
types of price discrimination
1. first degree price discrimination : here sellers charge each consumer at their willingness to pay in order to eliminate consumer surplus.
2. second degree price discrimination : here firms offer different prices depending on the quantity purchased. e.g. giving discounts for bulk purchases.
3, third degree price discrimination : firms charge different prices to different groups of customers. e.g. having a certain price for senior citizens, students
If we used the retail method to estimate the ending inventory first we get the given of the problem that can be used in solving.
Given
Sales - 200,000
Goods available for sale - 261,000 (cost) & 450,000 (retail)
First, we need to get the cost of retail ratio. the formula is
Cost to Retail ratio= Cost/ Retail
261,000
CRR= ------------- = 0.58
450,000
Next is to get the ending inventory by following this steps
Cost Retail
Cost of Goods Available for Sale $261,000 $450,000
- Sales $200,000
------------------
Ending Inventory $250,000
x Cost to Retail Ratio .58
------------------
Ending Inventory $145,000
So, the estimated ending inventory for the month of July is $145,000.
Answer:
C) Output fall and prices rise
Explanation:
In an aggregate supply, aggregate demand model, price level is the Y axis, and output is the X axis. Supply is positively related with price: the higher the price, the more firms produce.
However, to produce someting, firms need to employ the factors of production: land, labor and capital. The wages firms pay to workers, and the rent firms pay for land and capital are the production costs. If these costs rise, then, the products will become more expensive.
This increase in price will be met with lower demand; less customers will be willing to purchase the product, and therefore, the firms will start producing less until reaching a new equilibrium.
