Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": unfavorably; increases.

Explanation:

As a measure to control inflation in the economy, the Federal Reserve (Fed) tends to <em>increase </em>the interest rate. This to have banks request fewer loans from the central bank which will result in offering fewer credits to individuals. If people have fewer sources of debt, the possibilities that an economic bubble -<em>continuous increase in price due to continuous increase in demand</em>- appear decreases.

However, if people have fewer sources of debt, private investment decreases, causing an <em>unfavorable </em>panorama for financial institutions offering large portfolios of assets.

denpristay [2]

Answer:

$ 74.23

Explanation:

We are given the following:

mean, μ = $ 104.50

standard deviation, σ = $ 23.62

Using the z-score table, we have

P(Z < z) = 10%  (since we are evaluating lowest 10% of values)

hence P(Z < z) = 0.10

P(Z < -1.282 ) = 0.10

z = -1.282  (this evaluates to 0.1 on the z-score table)

Using z-score formula,

x = z *σ + μ

substituting the values,

x =- - 1.282 * 23.62 + 104.50

= 74.23

The most for the stock is $ 74.23

Since $660 was collected for 6 training sessions

Revenue from a training session

= 1/6 × $660

= $110

After 4 training sessions, revenue earned and to be recognized in the income statement

= 4 × $110

= $440

UNO [17]

Answer:

Since 2019, the deduction limit for interest expense deductions on qualified higher education loans is $2,500. In order to qualify for this deduction, the taxpayer's adjusted AGI must be less than $85,000 for single filers (Lionel's income is below the threshold).
