notsponge [240]

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.

It's clear that the lives of many creative artists are being transformed by digital technology. But competing schools of thought
Advocard [28]

Answer and Explanation:

Artists' lives have been changed by digital technology. This has created different schools of thought such as the "winner take all" theory, which claims that delivering high quality products at low cost will create a world where small differences in talent demand large differences in reward, and the "long tail"  theory, who claims that digital technology is creating a small portion of sellers that the market will adapt to, promoting low-cost products. These two theories are effective in different realities. However, the existence of both proves the change that programming and technology has been showing in entertainment and in the market.

A firm purchased 50 units of materials with a unit price of $1.30 on June 1. On June 15, the firm purchased 50 units with a unit
dsp73

Answer: $83

Explanation:

Given that,

On 1 June,

Materials purchased = 50 units

Unit price of material = $1.30

On June 15,

Materials purchased = 50 units

Unit price of material = $1.20

Total cost of 65 units:

= (Material purchased on 1 June × Unit price of material) + [(65 units - 50 units) × $1.20]

= (50 units × $1.30) + (15 units × $1.20)

= $65 + $18

= $83
