Answer: Option (a) is correct.
Explanation:
Correct Option: The supply of loanable funds but not the supply of dollars in the market for foreign-currency exchange.
If the budget deficit increases, then U.S residents will want to purchase fewer foreign assets and foreign residents wants to buy more of U.S assets.
The budget deficit in the economy has to be financed either by borrowing or by increasing taxes. This budget deficit occurred because of the tax cuts and higher government spending.
If a country running a budget deficit, which lead to reduction in national saving. We all know that interest rate is determined in the loan market, where savers supply the loans to the private borrowers.
So, if there is a fall in the national saving, this will reduced the supply of loans from savers, which raises the interest rate in an economy.
This will attract the foreign flow of capital. This means that demand for domestic assets increases because of the higher interest rate.
Now, if foreign residents want to take an advantage of higher interest rate then they first have to acquire domestic currency.
Therefore, higher interest increases the demand for domestic currency in a market of foreign exchange.
Answer: $1,177
Explanation:
First we calculate the Monthly service fee by the formula,
Monthly servicing fee = Monthly servicing fee rate * Outstanding loan balance,
The service fee is 35 basis points which translates to 0.35 % and is an annual figure so we will adjust it to a monthly one,
= (0.35%/12) * $250,000
= $72.92
To calculate amount that passes through to the mortgage pass we do,
Mortgage pass-through amount = Monthly mortgage payment - Monthly servicing fee
= $1,250 - $72.92
= $1,177.08,
= $1,177
$1,177 is the income that will pass through to the investor in the mortgage pass through each month
Answer:
Authority - Responsibility Balance & Incentive Development.
Explanation:
Authority refers to the power to command, give orders to somebody. And enjoying the position of having right to get it obeyed.
Responsibility refers to being in a position of accountability, answerability for an allocated task or job & its performance.
For Eg : A manager given responsibility to complete a task of production targets achievement, is also given authority to command the entire staff at the production site.
Joe had problem while working for someone else that :- he had responsibility to complete employers allocated task, but may be not given enough authority to do so, thats why he felt he is being 'commanded by, working for' someone else. Also, he doesn't owe the rewards of his acts, so lacks incentive.
Being an entrepreneur will entitle him with managerial responsibilities, but at the same time will also give him higher authority to take his own independent decisions. And, he is himself responsible for his acts, will bear losses or enjoy profits for himself. So, it also incentivises him to work for himself.
Tariffs can be helpful if the imports are unfairly cheaper than the domestic counterparts. This would level the playing field and help the domestic companies compete more effectively.
Tariffs can be harmful for consumers because there is strong possibility that the increased costs will raise consumer prices.
