Answer: Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

(a) It should include the opportunity cost of making the down payment. The opportunity cost is the benefit or cost obtained from the next best alternative. While making any big decision such as purchasing house which require huge amount, hence, one should consider the opportunity cost associated with the decision.

In our case, the buyer would deposit the down payment amount in the bank, so that he will be able to earn some interest income.

(b) Interest will be =4% of $80000

                              = $3200

so after the year amount will be 80,000 + 3,200

                                                     = $83,200

Monthly payment = $1920 per month

Year = 1,920 × 12

        = $23,040

Yearly opportunity cost will be $3,200

Banks work to earn a profit by selling financial services Group of answer choices True or false?
insens350 [35]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Financial services are the activities rendered by any financial institution such as the banks to their customers. Most of the services are done at a fee that makes the main source of revenue for banks. The revenue is spent to pay the overall expenses of the bank. If the expenses are lower than the revenue, a bank makes profit. If expenses exceed revenue, a bank makes loss which is not mostly the case. Therefore, it is true to say that banks work to earn a profit by selling financial services.
