Answer:
If the government sets out to make home buying easier for more people by forcing lenders to accept LOWER down payments and LOWER interest rates, the result will likely be an INCREASE in housing prices
Explanation:
If either interest rates or down payment amounts lower, the quantity demanded for houses will increase a little, possible leading to a small increase in the prices of houses.
If both interest rates and down payment amounts lower, then the quantity demanded for houses should increase a lot, which will result in an increase in the prices of houses.
This happened during the first decade of our century and everything was fine until the interest rates started to increase and people could no longer pay their mortgages and BOOM, the economy busted.
Answer:
$64.76
Explanation:
The current share price can be determined by calculating the present value of the dividend
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow from year 1 to 13 = 9.45
I = 10.7
PV = 64.76
To find the PV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
Answer:
$150
Explanation:
The formula to compute the GDP is as follows
GDP = Consumption + Investment + Government purchase + Net exports
where,
Consumption = Consumption of expenditure = $50
Investment = Business fixed investment + change in inventory + construction of new homes & apartments
= $30 + $10 + $30
= $70
The change in inventory is
= Ending inventory - beginning inventory
= $20 - $10
= $10
Government purchase = Government purchases of goods and services = $20
Net exports
= Exports - imports
= $50 - $40
= $10
So the value of GDP is
= $50 + $70 + $20 + $10
= $150
Answer:
0.25
Explanation:
Given :
The 
the non defective cars = 
We will consider all the defective 
only. This is only because the value of the used car is $ 2000 and it is lower than the price of a good car that is $10,000. Thus only defective cars are being sold as the old cars.
For a risk neutral customer, the price that he is ready to give for the new car is the reservation price of a non defective car. It means that (the amount of $ 8000 is the value of the good car x chances of getting a good car) +( the value of the bad car x chances of getting a bad car).
Since we know that x is the fraction of all the cars sold in the market are defective, it means that the fraction of the good cars is 1 - x. Thus putting the values,
= 0.25
Thus the value of :
