Answer:

a. Interest rate will rise.

b.   Borrowing on short term

Explanation:

A. The interest rate will likely go up if government embark on major infrastructure plan in the future. The reason for the rise is that it`s assumed that government will borrow to finance the infrastructure plan and when government borrows, there will be less money in the economy which will make credit scarce and interest rate to rise because of the depleting credit level in the economy.

B. I will advise to borrow on short term because of the impending rise in interest rate. If borrow on short term, the fluctuation in the interest rate will unlikely affect the short term facility. In contrast, if borrow on long term, the impeding rise in the interest rate might increase finance cost for the firm  in servicing the facility and also erode the facility value.

It is to be noted that the company is not allocating resources efficiently. See the attached image for the Graphically illustration required.

<h3>What is allocation of resources?</h3>

This is simply the ability to efficiently distribute resources across all aspects of production.

<h3>What is the proof that the company is misappropriating resources?</h3>

MRS is the gradient of the budget line is defined by the change in the Y axis divided by the change in the x axis.

In other words, MRS is the number of units of x that a customer is ready to give up in exchange for units of y.

Note that
the MRS fo the budget line is:

-dy/dx

= -10.6/6.25

= -1.6, that is media 1.6 units of media is given for every unit of business travel.

However, the corporation claims that the MRS is -1, which indicates that for every unit of business trip, they give away one unit of media. In other words, they are paying a price equal to the cost of business travel, resulting in a resource misappropriation.

What are the cons of using new residential sales/new home sales as a economic indicator?
rodikova [14]

Answer:

New home sales and existing home sales are released each month at about the same time. Many comparisons are made between the two series, but before doing any comparisons, one must be aware of some definition differences that affect the timing of the statistics.

The Census Bureau collects new home sales based upon the following definition: "A sale of the new house occurs with the signing of a sales contract or the acceptance of a deposit." The house can be in any stage of construction: not yet started, under construction, or already completed. Typically about 25% of the houses are sold at the time of completion. The remaining 75% are evenly split between those not yet started and those under construction.

Existing home sales data are provided by the National Association of Realtors®. According to them, "the majority of transactions are reported when the sales contract is closed." Most transactions usually involve a mortgage which takes 30-60 days to close. Therefore an existing home sale (closing) most likely involves a sales contract that was signed a month or two prior.

Given the difference in definition, new home sales usually lead existing home sales regarding changes in the residential sales market by a month or two. For example, an existing home sale in January, was probably signed 30 to 45 days earlier which would have been in November or December. This is based on the usual time it takes to obtain and close a mortgage.

Effective with January 2005, the National Association of Realtors created a new monthly series to overcome the lagging effect of the existing home sales definition. This new series is called Pending Home Sales and is based on sales of existing homes where the contract has been signed but the transaction has not been closed, making it roughly equivalent to the new home sales definition. Monthly estimates are expressed as an index where the year 2001 has been set to equal 100.0.
