Answer:

a) The federal funds rate has a higher interest rate than the discount rate to encourage borrowing

Explanation:

The Feds fund rate is the rate at which banks borrow from each other usually overnight, while the discount rate is the interest rate charged by the Fed to commercial banks for borrowing directly from the Fed.

These borrowings help the commercial banks meet up their liquidity requirements.

The discount rate is higher than the Fed funds rate. This is to encourage banks to borrow from each other instead of borrowing directly from the Federal Reserve.

The Fed fund rate also tends to affect the prime lending rate (rate at which banks lend money to their clients).

So the statement - The federal funds rate has a higher interest rate than the discount rate to encourage borrowing. Is not correct

Which action will be least helpful if youve been the victim of identity theft
xxTIMURxx [149]
The action that will be the least helpful if you've been the victim of an identity theft is to withdraw your money from all accounts.
This is not something you should do if this happens to you - but rather report this fraud to the officials so that they can fix this for you. They will be able to give you your last credit report and contact any company where you have money so as to let them know to freeze your account for a while until this get solved.

According to Ari Wallach, what is short-termism, and why is it a problem?
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

<em><u>short-termism </u></em>

Is the acting upon short term vision of the needs and problems that must be addressed. It is a problem because the vision that is important is the Long path vision.

<em><u>What is “longpath” and why did Wallach develop the concept?  </u></em>

Is a concept that combines long term vision and goal oriented. Wallach develop that concept as he did not find a term that frame what is intended in the long run that was goal oriented.

<em><u>Briefly discuss each of the three ways of thinking that Wallach describes.  </u></em>

Transgenerational thinking: Thinking the impact of your actions in the future generations to come.  

Futures thinking: The future is not related only with better technology but with how will human relationships, moral, art and feelings like compassion will evolve.

Telos thinking: This is an invitation to think having in mind what is the "ultimate aim" of our actions as little of they might be. It is important to raise the question: how this action that I am doing now will impact or change the future in 20,50 or 100 years to come.

<em><u>How does Wallach relate the future to a part of speech? </u></em>

Wallach make a link between Thomas Khun quote: “People don’t shift unless they have a vision of what it is they’re shifting to.” an Martin Luther King Speech of "I Have a Dream" he says that that speech is successful as it shows what is the vision of what a dream must looks like

A company has introduced a process improvement that reduces processing time for each unit, so that output is increased by 25% wt
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

The productivity increase by 48.83%

Explanation:

old

60 units for 5 workers

5 x $12 = 60

material $16 x 60 = 960

overhead: 60 x 1.6 = 96

total revenue 60 x 31 =  1,860

total cosT: 60 + 960 + 96 = 1,116

productivity index_ 1,860 / 1,116 = 1,667

<em><u>now:</u></em>

output 60 + 25% = 75 units

6 workers x $12 = $72

materials $10 x 75 units = $750

overhead: $72 x 1.6 = $115.2

total revneue 75 units x $31 = 2,325

total cost: 75 + 750 + 115.2 = 940.2

productivity index_ 2,325 / 940.2 = 2,4728

percentage of improvement: ( it is calculate like a return on investment)

(2.4728 - 1.667) / 1.667 = 0.4883 = 48.83%
