Why are credit unions typically able to offer higher interst rates to savers and lower rates to borrowers than commercial banks?

Usimov [2.4K]

The main reason is because credit unions are non-profit organizations desgined to serve and to provide financial assistance to its members and not to generate profit for its shareholders, as it is the case of banks, which are companies.

A credit union is a financial cooperative. Its members provide money to the union (as if they were investing in shares), and these funds enable to give loans, set deposit accounts, and provide other financial products and services to each other through the union. If any income is earned, it will be used to finance projects or services which are benefitial whole community.

1 A shelter will be built. Rules will be I placed. Rations will be made. Statistical thinking will also be in play.
2 decisions will be made as needed. However important decisions will be made ASAP. And every persons ideas will be heard. There will be a slight form of democracy where everybody can share their opinions about the ideas about what to do.
3 the person who leads will most likely be the person who presents themselves and comes forth to make their ideas known, instill order, and creates a game plan.
4 in rations. The fresh food that will go bad quickly will be eaten first. Then rations that last longer will be given out every two days. A human can survive a long time on just body fat, plus once in the starving state any food you eat is immediately stored as body fat. And the life rafts will be emptied and set out for rainwater to catch in them. In desperate measures where rain doesn’t come, clothes can be used as a filter for ocean water to be more tolerable. And the shelter will mostly be made of debris, local materials and possibly spare life rafts. The debris can also be sharpened to make weapons to hunt animals and fish
5 the rules on the island is that anything you find must be shared with the island. No hoarding food or supplies. No stealing. No murder. And anyone caught doing so will either have rations withheld or forced to go out and hunt and can’t come back until they’ve brought food. Worse penalties will be imprisonments or banishments.

Classify the actions as either discretionary spending or an automatic stabilizer.

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

a. Automatic stabilizers

b. Discretionary spending

c. Automatic stabilizers

d. Discretionary spending

e. Discretionary spending

f. Discretionary spending

g. Discretionary spending

h. Automatic stabilizers

i. Automatic stabilizers

Explanation:

a. A bill to increase unemployment benefits is discretionary spending because the government has to make a decision to change something; it does not happen automatically as the economy changes.

b. Cuts in government spending to balance the budget are also a decision that is made that does not happen automatically.

c. A law to increase Medicare coverage does not happen automatically and requires action by the government.

d. Tax cuts to stimulate spending must be written into effect. Since the tax rate is set and does not change by itself, it is discretionary spending.

e. Increasing tax rates also does not happen by itself and must be changed by the government, making it discretionary spending as well.

f. Increased tax payments from economic growth is an automatic stabilizer. As the economy grows, people have more income and firms have more profits. Both therefore pay more in taxes, increasing tax payments automatically.

g. More spending on welfare due to more applicants is an automatic stabilizer too. As more people apply for and receive welfare due to a bad economy, government spending will automatically increase.

h. Tax revenue depends on the level of economic activity. When people are laid off or earn less during a recession, tax revenue falls. Likewise, a decrease in corporate profits automatically decreases taxes owed.

i. More spending on unemployment benefits due to increased layoffs is automatic because when more people are laid off and apply for unemployment benefits, spending automatically increases.
