Answer:

Restrict the money supply and increase interest rates

Explanation:

When the economy is expanding at a fast pace, the Fed applies contractionary monetary polices to slow it down. Some of the tools available to the Fed to slow down growth includes an increase in the interest rates, increased reserve requirements, and open market purchases.

The Fed controls the market interest rate by adjusting the fed fund rate. An increase in interest rate makes borrowing expensive and unattractive to households and businesses. When firms and individuals are not borrowing, the result is a reduction in consumption and investment expenditure, thereby slowing down growth. Open market purchases reduce the money held by banks. Banks will, therefore, have few amounts available to lend out to customers.

Answer:

The present Value of my winnings = $4,578,716.35

Explanation:

An annuity is a series od annual cash outflows or inflows which payable or receivable for a certain number of periods. If the annual cash flow is expected  to increase by a certain percentage yearly, it is called a growing annuity.

To work out the the present value of a growing annuity,

we the formula:

PV = A/(r-g) ×  (1-  (1+g/1+r)^n)

I will break out the formula into two parts to make the workings very clear to follow. So applying this formula, we can work out the present value of the growing annuity (winnings) as follows.

A/(r-g)

= 460,000/(12%-3%)

= $5,111,111.11

(1-  (1+g/1+r)^n

1 - (1+3%)/(1+12%)^(27)

=0.8958

PV = A/(r-g) ×  (1-  (1+g/1+r)^n)

$5,111,111.11 × $0.8958

= $4,578,716.35

The present Value of my winnings = $4,578,716.35

Break-Even Point
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

The right answer is:

(a) 5916 units

(b) 5046 units

Explanation:

Given:

Sales,

= $59

Variable cost,

= $30

Fixed cost,

= $171,564

Increased sale,

= $64

Now,

(a)

Contribution margin will be:

= Sales - Variable \ cost

= 59-30

= 29 \ per \ unit ($)

hence,

Breakeven will be:

= \frac{Fixed \ cost}{Contribution \ margin}

= \frac{171564}{29}

= 5916 \ units

(b)

Contribution margin will be:

= Sales-Variable \ cost

= 64-30

= 34 \ per \ unit ($)

hence,

Breakeven will be:

= \frac{Fixed \ cost}{Contribution \ margin}

= \frac{171564}{34}

= 5046 \ units

blondinia [14]

Answer: C. an implied contract.

Explanation:

An Implied Contract is one that arises as a result of the way one or both of the parties involved in the contract acts towards the other.

Unlike an Express Contract, it need not be written down but it does have the same legal weight and strength of a written contract.

The basic principle of this contract is that people should always be treated fairly in business transactions so the need to always pen it down is not necessary.

By walking in and leaving his clothes at the laundry, Bill got into an Implied Contract as it would be unfair for Tom to just clean his clothes with no payment.

hoa [83]

Answer:

The estimate value of the subject property is $8,269,200

The other information that would be desirable in reaching a conclusion:

The closeness of the property to central business districts as the closer it is the higher the asking price.

The estimate was solely based on revenue, the applicable costs have been ignored.

The average taken might not be a good indication for the subject property because the property might have unique features

Explanation:

The formula for Gross Rent Multiplier is given  Property Price / Gross Monthly Rental Income.

In determining the estimate value of the subject property ,we calculate the gross rent multiplier of the new property,then multiply it  with the annual rental income.

In ascertaining the GRM of the new property we take the average GRM of the two similar properties in the same area.This is because the new property judging from number of units, lies in-between the other two properties.

GRM for Oaks

GRM=$9000000/($550*140)

GRM =116.88

GRM for Palms

GRM=$6,600,000/($650*90)

GRM =112.82

The average GRM=(116.88+112.82)/2

                               =114.85

Subject property price=114.85*(120*$600)

                                     =$8,269,200
