Answer:
James' credit union loan rate is 8.88% APR, the local bank loan rate is 9.34% APR.
Explanation:
Hi, since in both cases payments would be done in a monthly basis, we have to assume that the rate that we are looking for is APR (compounded monthly), and since there is no additional information in regards that 9.25% rate, we can assume that this is effective annually, so let´s convert this effective monthly rate into APR (compounded monthly)
First, we have to convert it into an effective monthly rate, that is:
Then we multiply by 12 and we get 0,088796 , which is 8.88% APR (compounded monthly)
This way James can compare both credits. The cheaper loan is from the credit union.
It may seem that franchise has many benefits since it allows for a person to open and operate a business without much knowledge of how to run a business and generally franchises are well advertised so not much marketing costs are needed, however negative impacts are much more, since you need to pay lifetime percentages for sales and operating under franchise as well as there is no room for creativity and too much dependence on a big business. Also the funds needed to open a franchise are much higher than same business but operating independently. So negative side is prevailing.
<span>If
a competitive firm can sell a ton of steel for $500 a ton and it has an average
variable cost of $400 a ton, and the marginal cost is $600 a ton, the firm
should reduce its output. The reason for the reduction of output is the
marginal cost it will have. The marginal cost exceeds the selling price of the
product which is a bad sign for the company.</span>
Answer:
During each phase of the economic cycle of Recession and Expansion, the following economic variables fluctuate, accordingly:
I. Output: During Recession, production output reduces. But, during expansion, product output rises with rising income, employment, and even stable inflation.
II. Employment: During phases of economic Expansion, employment rises, while it contracts during the phases of Recession.
III. Inflation: Due to rising income and output during economic expansionary periods, inflation rate also rises. It reduces when the economy enters a recession.
Explanation:
Business or Economic Cycle describes the recurrent, but not periodic, sequence of changes in the aggregate economic activities of a nation. It usually cascades between the spectrum of expansion and recession. This means that there is an alternation of the phases of economic cycle between expansion and contraction (recession) when the aggregate economic activities may rise or decline due to the equal movement of economic variables like the GDP output, employment, income, and sales.
