Explanation:

<u>Linear Modeling</u>

Models are an important part of the study of a variety of natural phenomena in a great number of fields like science, health, business, human behavior, economics, among many others.

Once a model is determined, it can be used to estimate future values of important variables which in turn can help people to make decisions.

It has been determined a model that relates the amount of term life insurance a family of four should have with the current age of the head of the household. That model is

$y=165-0.1x$

we are required to estimate the amount of term life insurance to recommend to a family of four when the head of the household is x=41 years old. Let's plug in the given value in the equation

$y=165-0.1\cdot 41=165-4.1=160.9$

$\boxed{y=160.9}$

Only one commercial bank in the banking system has an excess reserve, and its excess reserve is $400,000. This bank makes a new

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

money supply will increase by 2,400,000

Explanation:

the expansion f the money supply will be:

the money multiplier will be:

1/reserve ratio = 1/0.125 = 8

300,000 x 8 = 2,400,000

The reasoning for the multiplier effect is the following:

once the money is received, it will be used, and the person who receive the cash will deposit their proceeds.

This amount, can generate a new loan for, the remainder after subtracting the required reserve.

300,000 - 12.5% = 262,500

And this, once used will also end in a deposit. This opens the posibility for another loan, after reducing the reserve

262,500 - 12.5% = 229,687.5‬

This can be reapeat again and again and the limit for this is the formula state above:

multiplier effect = 1/reserve ratio

There are only three stocks in the economy. Stock A has 20 shares outstanding and a price per share of $10. Stock B has 15 share

gregori [183]

Answer:

Market value of stock A = 20 shares x $10 = $200

Market value of stock B = 15 shares x $3 = $45

Market value of stock C = 10 shares x $5 = $50

Total market value $295

Amount to invest in stock A

= $200/$295 x $5,000

= $3,389.83

Explanation:

In this case, we will calculate the market value of each stock by multiplying the number of each stock by their corresponding market prices.

Thereafter, we will divide the market value of stock A by the total market value multiplied by amount available for investment ($5,000).
