Solution:
The reserve ratio is 10%.
Money multiplier = 
= 
= 10.
So, the money multiplier increases by 10.
Money supply = amount x money multiplier = 1,000 x 10 = 10000
Therefore, because any certain items are equivalent, the rise in the currency supply is 10000 dollars.
When the FED sells 1,000 million worth of debt, this would further increase the monetary market, as the investments are fresh funds and the income from the bank is now used in the money supply.
Answer:
The correct option is (b)
Explanation:
Given:
Monthly payment for 6 months = $30 per month
Time period = 6 month (6 periods)
Monthly interest rate = 2%
In order to compute borrowed amount, present value of these payments need to be computed which is an annuity as same amount of $30 is paid.
Checking PVIFA table for 2%, 6 periods, annuity factor is 5.6014.
Borrowed amount = Monthly payment × PVIFA(2%,6)
= 30 × 5.6014
= $168.042
Borrowed amount is $168.042 or $168.22 approximately (difference in value due to annuity factor being rounded off)
Answer:
D) is 20% above expectations.
Explanation:
The Augusta Division was supposed to earn a net profit of $1,000,000 (= $2,000,000 - $1,000,000). Since the division's manager and his/her team were able to cut reduce fixed costs to $900,000 and increase contribution margin to $2,100,000 (either by increasing selling price or reducing variable costs), then the division earned a net profit of $1,200,000 (= $2,100,000 - $900,000). This net profit is 20% higher than expected, therefore the manager's (and his/her team's) overall performance was 20% above expectations.
The government helped the economy by preventing monopolies that way small independent buissness could survive.
