Answer: Low interest rates encourage consumers to borrow and spend, while high interest rates encourage saving.

When interest rates are lower, people will find it cheaper to borrow and spend. Firms also borrow to invest in expansion plans.

When interest rates are low, the incentive to save is low and so consumers will choose to spend more.

A fall interest rates will increase the demand for real assets, which in turn will increase the prices. This will result in an increase in wealth and spur more consumption.

A fall in interest rates results in a depreciation in the value of the home currency, this results in making exports more competitive and imports cheaper.

Thus lower interest rates in the economy result in an increase in Aggregate Demand.

On the contrary, higher interest rates encourage savings, result in a decrease in investments by businesses, reduce the demand for real assets and causes a fall in the real asset prices, results in an appreciation of the currency and render exports uncompetitive and imports more expensive.

The correct answer is A. Low interest rate encourage consumers to borrow and spend, while high interest rates encourage saving.

Interest rate is termed as the rate which a bank charges to its borrowers.

Nationally a good interest rat for a loan is 3.7%.

Recession and inflation are some effects of interest rate. We get to hear the federal funds rates if the interest rate falls or rises.

If the interest rate becomes high people will start to spend less to avoid the high cost.

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

2,400 Yens

Explanation:

exchange rate for buying Japanese Yen is 12 Yens per Dollar

1 dollar : 12 Yens

how many Yens do you need to buy 200 Dollars for?

Let

x = number of Yens needed

200 dollars : x Yens

Equate the ratios to find x

1 dollar : 12 Yens = 200 dollars : x Yens

1/12 = 200/x

Cross product

1 * x = 12 * 200

x = 2,400

x = number of Yens needed = 2,400 Yens

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

A. A credit to Child Care Fees Earned of $4,500.

Explanation:

The journal entry to record this given transaction is shown below:

Cash A/c Dr $4,500

       To Child Care Fees Earned A/c $4,500

= $9,000 ÷ 2
