Answer:

C. decreased by $40 billion

Explanation:

For computing the lending ability, first we have to determine the money multiplier which is shown below:

We know that

Money multiplier = 1 ÷ reserve ratio

                            = 1 ÷ 20%

                            = 5

So, the total cash would be

= $10 billion × $5

= $50 million

Now the lending ability would be

=$50 billion × (1 - 20%)

= $50 billion × 0.80

= $40 billion

The balance sheet of Cattleman's Steakhouse shows assets of $85,900 and liabilities of $13,500. The fair value of the assets is
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

$7,120

Explanation:

Given that,

Assets = $85,900

Liabilities = $13,500

Fair value of assets = $90,500

Fair value of its liabilities = $13,500

Amount paid to acquire all of its assets and liabilities = $84,120

Net assets:

= Fair value of assets - Fair value of its liabilities

= $90,500 - $13,500

= $77,000

Goodwill = Purchase consideration - Net assets

               = $84,120 - $77,000

               = $7,120

Market failure describes a situation in which the market itself ________ in a way that balances social costs and benefits.
Lina20 [59]

A situation known as a "market failure" occurs when the market itself is unable to efficiently distribute resources in a way that balances social costs and benefits.

Market failure refers to a situation where there is an inefficient allocation of products and services on the open market. The individual incentives for rational behavior do not result in rational outcomes for the collective in a market failure.

In other words, each person chooses what is best for themselves, but those choices end up being bad for the collective. This can occasionally be demonstrated in conventional microeconomics as a steady-state disequilibrium condition.
