Answer:

c. There is an "opportunity cost" associated with using reinvested earnings, hence they are not "free."

Explanation:

When the reinvested earnings are invested that is basically the earnings associated with reinvestment would earn the same like that earned by the investment if not withdrawn and invested.

Let us say for example: Amount invested = $1,000

Return on such investment = $100

Now if such earnings are also reinvested then

Earnings = $110

Now if this $110 is used rather than investing again, then there is the opportunity cost of earning $11 on such reinvestment.

Thus, statement c is correct.

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

The options which is NOT correct is C.

Purchasing power does not increase with inrease in the rate of inflation. There is an inverse relationship between inflation and purchasing power of money.

Explanation:

Inflation refers to the overall increase in prices of goods and services and the erosion of the power of the currency to purchase those goods and services. In otherwords, when inflation happens, one requires more dollar bills to purchase same unit of goods or services.

Deflation is the opposite of inflation. It refers to the decrease in the prices of goods and services and is usually accompained by an increase in the purchasing power of the currency.

Nominal interest rate simply put is the interest payable on a loan without considering processing fees, compounding interest payable and the erosion of the value of such money.

Cheers!

Durable Goods $1,250 Nondurable Goods $2,130 Services $9,000 Fixed Investment $1,800 Changes to Business Inventory $135 Investme

Anettt [7]

Answer:

Given that,

Durable Goods = $1,250

Non-durable Goods = $2,130

Services = $9,000

Fixed Investment = $1,800

Changes to Business Inventory = $135

Investment in Stocks & Bonds = $15,500

Federal Government Purchases = $1,800

State/Local Government Purchases = $1,700

Transfer Payments = $675

Exports from the United States = $2,100

Imports into the United States = $2,400

(a) Consumption, C = durable goods + non-durable goods + services

= $1,250 + $2,130 + $9,000

= $12,380

(b) Private investment, I = Fixed investment + change in inventory + Investment in stocks/bonds

= $1,800 + $135 + $15,500

= $17,435

(c) Government spending, G = Federal government purchase + state/local government purchase

= $1,800 + $1,700

= $3,500

(d) Net exports = Exports - Imports

= $2,100 - $2,400

= -($300)

GDP = C + I + G + NX

= $12,380 + $17,435 + $3,500 + (-$300)

= $33,015

Suppose that $2000 is loaned at a rate of 11.5% , compounded semiannually. assuming that no payments are made, find the amount o

Zolol [24]

This problem is solved by using the compound interest formula:
A=P(1+(I/period))^(number of periods)
Where A = amount accumulated and P = amount loaned and I = Interest
A = ? P = $2, 000, I = 0.115, Period = 2 (semi annually) Number of period = 2
*7 (I. e paid twice over a 7 yrs span)
So we have
A = 2000 ( 1 + 0.115/2)^(14)
A = 2000 ( 1 + 0.0575)^(14)
A = 2000 (1.0575)^(14)
A = 2000 (2.1873851765154) = 4374.77035
So we have 4374.80 to the nearest cent.

BigorU [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is b. will go primarily to consumers.

Explanation:

Inelastic demand is that demand that is not very sensitive to a change in price. In this way, before a variation in the price the quantity demanded reacts in a less than proportional way. For example, if the price increases by 10% and in response the quantity demanded is reduced by less than 10%, then the demand is said to be inelastic.

While the elasticity of the offer presents the degree of response of the quantities offered to variations in the price of the good considered, the price of other goods, the costs of productive factors or business expectations.
