Answer:
Credit card companies can invade your privacy by monitoring all your credit card transactions and making decisions, whether correct or incorrect, about your credit worthiness and your character.

Explanations:
All credit card transactions are logged into a data base which is accessible to credit card companies. 
Therefore credit card companies can form opinions about your credit worthiness on the basis of your credit card transactions.

For example, if you use your credit card to pay for groceries, utilities, and ordinary bills, a credit card company could assume that you are in financial distress and make a decision to reduce your credit limit.
If a person uses a credit card often at a casino or gambling locations, that could also signify to credit card issuers that the person may not be using money wisely, and may not be willing to provide more credit to the gambler.

To sum it up, personal privacy is lost whenever a person uses a credit card. Credit card issuers may form opinions about a card holder that may be correct or incorrect, based on the person's credit card transactions.

Fixed Overhead Spending and Volume Variances, Columnar and Formula Approaches
shutvik [7]

Answer:

Fixed Overheads Spending Variance = $5,000 Unfavorable(U).

Fixed Overheads Spending Variance = $20,000  Favorable (F).

Explanation:

Fixed Overheads Spending Variance = Actual Fixed Overheads  - Budgeted Fixed Overheads

                                                              = $305,000 -  $300,000

                                                              = $5,000 Unfavorable(U).

Fixed Overheads Spending Variance = Fixed Overheads at Actual Production  - Budgeted Fixed Overheads

                                                              = ($5.00 × 64,000) - $300,000

                                                              = $320,000 - $300,000

                                                              = $20,000  Favorable (F)

netineya [11]
First calculate the amount financed
Amount financed=725−50=675

The formula is
I=(2yc)/(m (n+1))
Solve for c to get
C=(I×m×(n+1))/2y
C=(0.14×675×(24+1))÷(2×12)=98.44

Total of payments=675+98.44=773.44

Suppose a price floor on sparkling wine is proposed by the Health Minister of the country of Vinyardia. What will be the likely
Elenna [48]

Answer:

The options for this question are the following:

A. Quantity demanded will decrease, quantity supplied will increase, and a shortage will result.; B. Quantity demanded will increase, quantity supplied will decrease, and a surplus will result.; C. Quantity demanded will decrease, quantity supplied will increase, and a surplus will result; D. Quantity demanded will increase, quantity supplied will decrease, and a shortage will result.

The correct answer is C. Quantity demanded will decrease, quantity supplied will increase, and a surplus will result.

Explanation:

There is a strong correlation between pricing (at prices higher than the equilibrium price) and the creation of excess supply. Following the analysis of supply and demand, if we start from an initial equilibrium situation (where the quantity demanded and supplied are equal) and the authority decides to set a much higher price, the quantity demanded of the product will decrease and, on the other hand, the quantity supplied will increase, so producers will want to sell more than consumers want to buy. The previous problem will be solved if the authority decides to lower the price of the product, since this encourages consumers to buy more and bidders to produce less.
