Answer: D. If one country creates all the reserves it can prevent other countries from trading.

Explanation:

<em>Ditching the Dollar</em> refers to a movement by nations to reduce the dependence on the US. dollar for transactions.

The USD is the major currency for trade around the world with it accounting for the currency of use in more than 50% of the entire World trade. This was due to the Bretton Woods Agreement and System which at the time pegged the USD to gold and other currencies at certain value to the USD.

The influence the USD gained that day continues today. Countries however are increasing becoming fed up by the United States using the Dollar to impose trade restrictions and sanctions on countries and then requiring everyone to fall in line because trades are mostly done in the currency controlled by the US, the USD.

For instance, when sanctions were imposed on Iran, the European Union looked for alternative means of payment for Iranian oil.

Ditching the Dollar therefore argues that having multiple reserve currencies to choose from is healthy because one country will not be able to control world trade as the US has.

In 2010, the imaginary nation of Bovina had a population of 5,000 and real GDP of 600,000. In 2011 it had a population of 5,200

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

In 2010,

Real GDP = 600,000

Population = 5,000

Real GDP per person:

= Real GDP ÷ Population

= 600,000 ÷ 5,000

= 120

In 2011,

Real GDP = 636,480

Population = 5,200

Real GDP per person:

= Real GDP ÷ Population

= 636,480 ÷ 5,200

= 122.4

Growth rate of real GDP per person during the year 2011:

= [(Real GDP per person in 2011 - Real GDP per person in 2010) ÷ Real GDP per person in 2010] × 100

= [(122.4 - 120) ÷ 120] × 100

= (2.4 ÷ 120) × 100

= 0.02 × 100

= 2%

It was seen from the data available on the world bank that the United states real GDP per person is growing at an average rate of 2% between 1910 and 2010.

Hence, the Growth rate of real GDP per person during the year 2011 is about the same as average U.S. growth over the last one-hundred years.

Imagine you are making a $1000 purchase with different payment options. Which of the following

Tomtit [17]

The payment option that pays the LEAST is <u>B. B. 10% APR, with 12 monthly payments,</u> as it pays back a total of $1,008.33, for borrowing $1,000.

<h3>How to calculate payment options:</h3>

Payment options can be computed using an online finance calculator as follows:

The option that pays the least total cost should be chosen.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Loan payment = $1,000

A. 8% APR, no payments for the first 6 months, then 6 monthly payments:

Amount after 6 months = $1,040 ($1,000 + $1,000 x 0.08 x 1/2)

N (# of periods) = 1

I/Y (Interest per year) = 8%

PV (Present Value) = $1,040

FV (Future Value) = $0

<u>Results:</u>

PMT = $174.49

Sum of all periodic payments = $1,046.93 ($174.49 x 6)

Total Interest =$46.93 ($40 + $6.93)

B. 10% APR, with 12 monthly payments:

N (# of periods) = 1

I/Y (Interest per year) = 10%

PV (Present Value) = $1,000

FV (Future Value) = $0

<u>Results:</u>

PMT = $84.03

Sum of all periodic payments = $1,008.33

Total Interest = $8.33

C. 12% APR, with 6 monthly payments:

N (# of periods) = 1

I/Y (Interest per year) = 12%

PV (Present Value) = $1,000

FV (Future Value) = $0

<u>Results:</u>

PMT = $168.33

Sum of all periodic payments = $1,010.00

Total Interest $10.00

Thus, the payment option that pays the LEAST is <u>Option B</u>.

<h3>What is meant by reliability?</h3>

This is the term that is used to refer to the fact that the test is consistent and if it is replicated over and over again it is still going to keep producing the same results as it first did.

Reliability is one of the attributes or characteristics of a good test or research. Hence we can conclude that When tests are used as part of the selection process, care must be taken to ensure that the test being used is both valid and reliable. A test is reliable if it consistently creates or measures accurate results time after time.
