Answer:

B. Negative, Negligible

Explanation:

Interest Rate is negatively related to Investment. Higher Interest Rate increases cost of investment, lower interest rate reduces cost of investment.

However, Investment in a particular sector/ industry is also defined by: Concentration of that sector in entire investment outlay & Income Elasticity of the sector's commodity demand. Implicatively, a sector with huge concentration of investment outlay & products with high income elasticity will have more Interest rate sensitive Investment and vice versa.

Construction Industry being very capital intensive has higher investment magnitude & also more Income Elastic demand. So, impact of higher interest rate will impact this industry more.

Necessity goods Industries are less capital intensive , investment concentrated & also have less Income Elastic Demand. So, impact of higher interest rate will impact this industry less.

<em>(Demand's Income Elasticity is the responsiveness of a good's demand to change in Income. It is more in luxurious goods, less in necessity goods)</em>

Kyle plans to punch patrick. he calls patrick and tells him he will punch him tomorrow at 4:00 pm. at 2:00 pm the next day, kyle
stepan [7]
<span>Technically, Kyle lied to Patrick about the time at which he would punch him. However, there is no contract to prove that this was what was said on the phone (heresay). Additionally, it does not mention that there was any sort of agreement or consideration made between the two of them regarding this. And even if there was, there might be a legality issue due to the fact that punching is both assault and battery when committed on a person, so the contract may not even be enforceable. In terms of civil torts, Kyle didn't really commit anything that is pursuable in court, but did commit battery and assault. If Patrick fell or hit his head further and was injured/killed, he would be liable for an involuntary action, of which would be manslaughter if Patrick died. He would also be able to be sued for wrongful death by Patrick's family.</span>
