D.) An account earning interest compounded daily.
This is the account that would have the greatest accumulated value at the end of one year.
Let us assume the following figures.
Principal = 1,000
Interest rate = 12% p.a.
Term 1 year
a) account earning no interest = 1,000
b) account earning simple interest
S.I. = 1,000 x 12% x 1 = 120
Balance = 1000 + 120= 1,120
c) account earning interest compounded annually
FV = 1,000 (1+.12)¹
FV = 1,000 (1.12)
FV = 1,120
d) account compounded daily
FV = 1,000 (1 + .12/365)³⁶⁵
FV = 1,000 (1 + 0.00033)³⁶⁵
FV = 1,000 (1.00033)³⁶⁵
FV = 1,000 (1.128)
FV = 1,128
Answer: Option (C) is correct.
Explanation:
Correct Option: Political business cycle
If government tax revenues change automatically and in a countercylical direction over the course of the business cycle, this would be called a Political business cycle.
These cycles are present in macroeconomic variables such inflation rate, output and unemployment. There are two types of regime follow in this cycle are as follows:
(i) Regime A consist of expansionary polices which results in a economic growth and inflation. If the inflation rate is high enough then there is a withdrawal of policy.
(ii) Regime B consist of contractionary polices which results in reducing economic growth and inflation. It will become voted out if the unemployment is too high, replaced by Regime A. It generally lead to downward movement of the cycle.
Answer:
FALSE
Explanation:
Conducting business is usually NOT the same from country to country because:
1. DIFFERENCE IN BUSINESS ETHICS: Business ethics vary from nation to nation. European countries work from 8 am to 5 pm on a typical work day and rest on Saturdays and Sundays; but in the middle East, people do not work on Fridays but work on Sundays. They also take a lot of business time off for routine prayers during normal work hours.
2. NEED FOR TRANSLATORS: Differences of language does increase the cost of carrying out business activities in other nations. Take India and China for example; You cannot conclude that business deals will be carried out without hiring a translator who understands Hindi or Mandarin.
3. LOCAL LAWS AND CUSTOMS: The UK customs and laws require that cars be driven on the left hand side of the road but that is not the same in most other countries of the world, hence a U.S car manufacturer must be aware of the costs of redesign if he has to sell cars in the U.K.
