Answer:

Bob has $7 dollars now.

Explanation:

b = Bob's original amount of money ($x$ dollars)

p = Pat's original amount of money

"If Pat gives Bob a dollar, Bob will have twice as many dollars as Pat."

b + 1 = 2(p-1)

b + 1 = 2p - 2

b = 2p - 2 - 1

b = 2p - 3

"If Bob g Pat a dollar instead, they both will have the same number of dollars."

p + 1 = b - 1

p = b - 1 - 1

p = b - 2

In the first equation replace p with (x-2)

b = 2(b-2) - 3

b = 2b - 4 - 3

b = 2b - 7

7 = 2b - b

7 = b

Yuri [45]

15.79 % is the rate that bank is requred to give to potential borrowers

<u>Explanation:</u>

\mathrm{EAR}=(1+\mathrm{APR} / \mathrm{m})^{\mathrm{m}}-1

A P R=m\left[(1+E A R)^{1 / m}-1\right]

\mathrm{APR}=365\left[(1+.171)^{1 / 365}-1\right]

A P R=365\left[(1.171)^{0.00273972602}-1\right]

\mathrm{APR}=365 *[1.00043258-1]

A P R=365 * 0.00043258, APR = 0.1578917  

Or 15.79% (it is rounded off )

<u>Where: </u>

EAR = effective annual rate

APR = Annual percentage rate

M = number of compounding

Therefore, the interest of rate that the bank is required by law in order to report to all the potential borrowers is 15.97%

A reduction in the saving rate starting from a steady state with more capital than the golden rule causes investment to?
Studentka2010 [4]

Starting from a steady state with greater capital than the Golden Rule, a decrease in the saving rate results in a decline in investment.

<h3>What is the definition of the golden rule?</h3>

The Golden Rule instructs people to make decisions for others based on their own personal preferences. Putting yourself in another person's shoes or "doing unto others as you would have them do unto you" are two common definitions of the Golden Rule (Baumrin 2004).

The golden rule would advise us to release someone who has been convicted of a crime and given a prison sentence, for instance, because we would not want to go to prison ourselves. This holds true even if we use the platinum rule because it's likely that the prisoner would choose to stay out of jail or prison.
