Answer:

consumers reduce spending as they fear the nation will go into war

Explanation:

shocks are unpredictable in nature, external shocks are outside our control. sudden discoveries, disaster , death of trading partner etc are some of the examples. They usually affect the imports - exports of nations.

If consumers perceive war coming possibly due to utterances/actions of political leaders. The reduced spending ( spending pattern) is expected as people prefer to have cash with them during war due to scarcity or need to run to safe places.

An "excessive" budget deficit in this context is

rjkz [21]

Answer:

A) A relatively large budget deficit as a percentage of GDP beyond the European Union's deficit and debt rules.

Explanation:

A budget deficit is when the governments have more expenditures in a budgeted year than they have the revenues in form of taxes and other incomes. A deficit is excessive if it is large in comparison to the GDP.

In the European Union the budget deficit is considered excessive if it exceeds 3% of the running years GDP.

A public debt percentage to GDP of 60% or above is considered excessive as most of the GDP then is used for debt servicing and thus impacts negatively on the financial health of the country.

Hope that helps.

You are 20 years old and have completed your BBA and want to pursue further education but you don’t want to take money from your

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

1. Will you be able to meet your goal at this current saving rate?

yes, you will even have some spare money

annual cost of MBA = 400,000 x 2 years = 800,000

monthly salary = 25,000 and you will deposit 12,500

ordinary annuity, 0.8333%, 59 periods (5 years - 1 month) = 75.80535

the future value of your account = 12,500 x 75.80535 = 947,566.88 which is more than the cost of the MBA

2. What percentage of your salary should you save if you want to have exactly your university expenses amount?

42.2138%

800,000 / 75.80535 = 10,553.34

10,553.34 / 25,000 = 0.422138 = 42.2138%

3. How would your answer to part 1 change if the saving account rate changed to 5%?

actually you still have more money than what you need even if the interest rate falls to 5%, so you can still take your MBA

monthly salary = 25,000 and you will deposit 12,500

ordinary annuity, 0.41666%, 59 periods (5 years - 1 month) = 66.72805

the future value of your account = 12,500 x 66.72805 = 834,100.63 which is more than the cost of the MBA

4. If you are given an option to invest at the 10% saving rate with monthly compounding or 10.5% semiannual compounding, which would you chose?

I would choose the 10.5% semiannual compounding because the effective interest rate is higher.

the effective interest rate of investing at 10% compounded monthly = (1 + 10%/12)¹² - 1 = 10.47%

the effective interest rate of investing at 10.5% compounded semiannually = (1 + 10.5%/2)² - 1 = 10.77%
