In 3-4 sentences describe how economic liberty helps water the "money tree" in a free enterprise.
il63 [147K]

Answer:

It helps giving you the ability to choose what you think is best for your business

Explanation:

Vic, using the money tree metaphor is awesome in order to explain. Think about your free enterprise (let’s say… a store that sells trees!).

What you need in order to start and run a business? A place to sell those trees, employees, products, infrastructure, etc., and capital to fund all that. All that business plans and models that you will develop in order to have a successful business will require that you make economic decisions, actions. And, in order to make those decisions, you need economic liberty, which is exactly the ability one has to make economic decisions without political, economic or social blocks.

Imagine that in your region you can only sell trees with red leaves, or your trees are taxed much more than trees coming from overseas, or that employment law requires that no employee gets near a plant (who knows, it could be to prevent allergic season!). That would make super hard to develop your business right?

That’s how economic liberty could help you grow your money tree; into giving you the ability to choose what you think is best for your business.

Feliz [49]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Savings and credit cooperatives or, simply, credit cooperatives are cooperative societies whose corporate purpose is to serve the financial needs of their members and third parties through the exercise of the activities of credit institutions.

Savings and credit cooperatives are also known for their acronym in English, SACCO: Savings and Credit Cooperative.

These cooperatives are usually local and seem to be more suited to rural areas. Above all they have access to external funds and they are properly managed. And although there is a World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU) there are few local or rural cooperatives associated with it.

Which one of these statements related to discounted payback is correct?a) the discounted payback period decreases as teh discoun
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

A) the discounted payback period decreases as the discount rate increases

Explanation:

The discounted payback period is used to determine the profitability of an investment project.

A not discounted payback period is how long does it take for the cash flows of a project to recoup the investment's cost without considering the value of money in time. By applying a discount to the cash flows, the discounted period will more accurately measure the length of time needed to recoup an investment using current dollars.

The higher the discount rate, the longer it will take for the cash flows to cover the investment's cost, so if the discount rate lowers, then the discounted payback period will be shorter.
