Answer:
The correct answer is c. is based on simplifying assumptions, but is still useful for illustrating scarcity, opportunity cost, and economic growth.
Explanation:
The production possibilities frontier (FPP) is a graphic representation of the maximum quantities of production that an economy can obtain in a given period using all the resources it has available.
In an economy that has thousands of products, the alternatives to produce one good or another and how much of each are very large. When an alternative is chosen, it means that other possibilities are being renounced. The relationship between what we choose and what we give up is the opportunity cost.
Answer:
$12.53
Explanation:
Data provided in the question
Par value = $1,000
Coupon rate = 2.5%
Reference CPI = 204.89
Now CPI = 205.44
By considering the above information, the correct calculation of the current interest payment is
= Par value × Current CPI ÷ Reference CPI × Coupon rate ÷ 2
= $1,000 × 205.44 ÷ 204.89 × 2.5% ÷ 2
= $12.53
We assume the interest is on semi annual payments
It’s 70 $ the answer is 70
Answer:
D) AIG
Explanation:
We went back in time to 2008 and we are in the middle of the subprime mortgage crisis. This is an example of how mortgage backed securities and collateralized debt obligations worked.
The problem with this scenario is that in order for every company involved to be able to make a profit, the mortgages' interest rates skyrocketed which made it harder for families to pay back their loans. This eventually made the families lose their houses and that was the end to the housing bubble and the whole economy collapsed.
When the price of the good is fixed at a level below the current (equilibrium) price, there will be a shortage of the good and the good will have to be effectively rationed. As in the question above, the consumer is worse off because she is not able to attain her utility maximizing point.
