c) if the FED raises to 20% the minimum reverse ratio:

The money multiplier is the amount of money that is generated from the reserves of a bank:
$100/0.10 - $100 = $900 billion
The money supply is
$100/0.10 = $1000 billion of $1 trillion
If the reserves is changed to 20%, the money multiplier and money supply will decrease

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

C) common stockholders, but after that of bondholders.

Explanation:

Preferred stockholders hold a claim on assets that has priority over the claims of common stockholders but after that of bondholders.  

The preferred shareholder is given preference for the distribution of dividends, which is higher than the common stock. It is paid as per the discretion of the company´s directors. Instead, they have limited right and they do not vote for corporate governance like a common stockholder. In the case of the dissolution of the company, the preferred shareholders will still receive payment due to them in terms of dividends. They have a feature of both bonds and equity stockholders.

Steven consumes only two goods, both of which are normal goods. He is currently maximizing his utility in consumption of both go
zzz [600]

Answer:

The answer is: remain the same

Explanation:

The marginal utility of a good or service is how much better we feel when consuming an extra unit of that good or service. For example if we are very thirsty, the marginal utility of consuming a can of Coke is very large, but once our thirst is quenched, an extra can of Coke will not provide use with that much satisfaction as before.

If the price of a substitute good increases, the marginal utility of the good whose price didn't change, will remain the same.

Let's go back to the Coke example. An extra can of Coke will give me 5 more satisfaction units (I'm assuming I can measure satisfaction) and an extra slice of pizza will give me 7 more units of satisfaction. If the price of Coke increases from 50 cents to $1, its marginal utility will decrease. I will buy more pizza because the satisfaction I get from drinking Coke is now smaller.

Zina [86]

Payments = Prepaid current period + expenses - opening prepaid balance

Payments = 197,000 + 62,000 - 90,300 = $ 168,700
