Answer:

B) Good economists must possess a rare combination of gifts.

Explanation:

Economics is a social science that focuses on studying scarcity. Since all resources are scarce, economics tries to determine how to allocate resources more efficiently in order to produce the most possible benefits. We are all economists whether we like it or not. When we spend our money (scarce resource) we try to get the largest benefit out of it, the same applies to our time. We decide to study for a test and get a good grade, or simply take a very long nap.

The problem with economics and all social science, is that they are not exact. There is no possible way a scientific research can be done that includes all the economy, there are simply too many billions of transactions and different combinations that it is impossible to do it. Some microeconomics studies can be carried out but only considering a single company or industry and few factors.

Economists must base their research upon past events and develop models that can predict future events. Sadly but true, even meteorologists have a higher percentage of correct predictions than economists.

The few good economists must be very good at math, history, politics, philosophy, psychology, developing abstract ideas and make them concrete ideas, and last but not least must be able to explain all of this to others and convince them.

The problem with applying economic models to the real world are the changing expectations of the general public (psychology and philosophy). One of my teachers had a great saying, "the mouth is the most sensitive organ in your body, but your pocket is by far the most sensitive part".

A mortgage clause that states that the mortgage is due and payable upon certain conditions, such as the non-payment is the option(d) i.e, the Acceleration clause.

<h3>What is a mortgage clause?</h3>

A provision in an insurance policy (such as a fire insurance policy) that allows the designated mortgage to receive payment for property damage or loss.

There are different types of clauses:

  • Acceleration clause
  • Due-On-Sale clause
  • Prepayment Penalty clause
  • Subordination clause
  • Release clause

If the borrower breaches the conditions of the agreement, an acceleration clause in a mortgage or trust deed states that the entire obligation is payable immediately. Additionally, it will specify the circumstances under which a lender may request full loan payback. For instance, home loans frequently feature an acceleration provision that kicks in after a certain number of missed payments.

Most of the time, it is harmful to accelerate a loan. Typically, it denotes that the borrower has fallen behind on payments or broken the terms of the agreement, and the lender is requiring prompt repayment of the whole loan balance to avoid foreclosure.

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The shareholder-debtholder conflict usually arises because shareholders would prefer the firm to engage in more risky business activities. This is because this has the potential to increase the income of the firm and as a result, the wealth of shareholders.

On the other hand debtholders would not want the firm to engage in risky activities because it might negatively affect the firm's ability to make its schedules payments to debtholders.

In order to protect themselves, debtholders usually draft a deb covenant which contains allowable activities of the firm

An Uber driver faces costs for driving that include sunk costs like insurance that contribute to the average cost per mile of $.
crimeas [40]

Answer: sunk costs don't increase as driving increases.

Explanation: sunk costs are irrelevant costs because they have already occured in the past and cannot be avoided. Sunk costs thus do not differ between alternatives, and are unavoidable. The calculation for insurance and other sunk costs are likely not based on the amount of rides the Uber picks up, but rather calculated at a constant rate. So regardless of whether or not the rider pays more or less than the $.50 on the insurance, this will not have any effect on the insurance that is constant and has likely already been paid out.
