Answer:

manage risk in the financial markets

watch banks and protect customers

provide banking services

Influence the money supply

Explanation:

The Fed tries to manage risk in the financial markets. For example, the Federal Reserve would be concerned that the effects of the failure of one financial institution, such as a big bank, might spread to other banks.

The Fed watches over banks and tries to protect banking customers. For example, the Federal Reserve enforces the Truth in Lending Act, which protects people who use credit cards or borrow money to pay an expense, also known as using credit, from deceptive practices.

The Fed offers banking services, such as loans, to other banks, the U.S. government, and other countries.

Maybe most important, the Fed influences the growth of the money supply. The money supply is the amount of money that is flowing through the economy.

What would happen to the buying power of your investment after one year if your rate of return was 8% and the rate of inflation

nekit [7.7K]

As long as the rate of return is bigger than the inflation, the value and amount of money will increase and so will the purchasing power: the correct answer is "it will increase".

For example, if you invest 100 dollars, you will receive 108 dollars back, and you'd need 103 dollars to have the same value of money as before - but you have more.

At the end of the year the production manager is taking inventory and finds 600 units of an older model of invisible fencing tha

KatRina [158]

Answer: $12

Explanation:

In selling the obsolete goods, the company will incur Variable Marketing costs and the alternative will be to throw the goods away.

The relevant costs they will incur are therefore the Variable Marketing costs alone.

The lowest amount that a company should accept for a good is the price that equals it's cost so that they may at least Break-Even.

Seeing as the Variable Marketing Costs are the only relevant cost then the lowest they should accept is the Variable Marketing Costs of $12.

Cranford Company completed and transferred out 2,700 units in May 2016. There were 300 units in the Work-in-Process Inventory on

Lynna [10]

Answer:

The cost of the work transferred-out during May is $18,630

Explanation:

For computing the cost of work transferred, first we have to compute the conversion cost per unit and material cost per unit

The conversion cost per uni = Conversion cost ÷ (transferred units + work in progress)

= $11,160 ÷ (2,700 + 300 × 30%)

= $11,160 ÷ (2,700 + 90)

= $11,160 ÷ 2,790

= $4 per unit

Now, material cost per unit = Material cost ÷ (transferred units + work in progress)

= $8,700 ÷ (2,700+300)

= $8700 ÷ 3,000

= $2.9 per unit

So, total cost of the work transferred is equals to

= Transferred units × conversion cost per unit + transferred units × material cost per unit

= 2,700 × $4 + 2,700 × $2.9

= $10,800 + $7,830

= $18,630

Hence, the cost of the work transferred-out during May is $18,630

Your older and wiser sibling has offered to loan you some much needed money to help cover textbook expenses this semester. Since

masya89 [10]

Answer:

80 years

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Simple interest rate charged = 1.25% = 0.0125

Now,

Let principal amount be '$x'

we know, Simple interest = Principal × Interest Rate × Time

Since the debt is doubled this means the interest is equal to the principal amount

Therefore,

$x = $x × 0.0125 × Time

1 = 0.0125 × Time

Time = 1 ÷ 0.0125

Time = 80 years
