Answer:
1) if the FED decides to strengthen then dollar, it will make US exports more expensive and imports cheaper. That will cause net exports to decrease, i.e. there will be less exports and more imports.
A strengthening of the US dollar helps importing companies because they will buy cheaper goods from abroad and will be able to sell them at higher domestic prices. On the other hand, exporting companies will be hit because hey loss competitiveness since their products will be more expensive.
2) If the FED decides to weaken the US dollar, the opposite will happen. Exporting companies will be favored, while importing companies will be hurt. The country will start to export more and import less.
3) Generally, the FED intervenes market through its money supply policy. When the interest rate increases or the money supply increases, the value of the US dollar will tend to lower. Even if expansionary monetary policy doesn't have an immediate impact, the expectations do matter. If people expect a devaluation of the US dollar, they will start to buy foreign currencies, which in turn will end up devaluating the US dollar. It is a self-fulfilled prophecy.
Another way the FED impacts businesses is through the interest rate. Lower interest rates will increase both domestic and foreign investment in the US.
Answer:
The correct answer is: Service Quality Gap.
Explanation:
The Service Quality Gap refers to the difference between what a company understands a customer's desires and what must be really done to satisfy that consumer. Firms should make all the efforts in their hands to close that breach and provide the customer with the good or service they need to keep their businesses going. When the gap is not closed, the customer's loyalty fails, pushing them to look for different options in other organizations.
Full question(find attached) :
Faiz would like to illustrate the commission savings delivered by a payment app compared with a credit card. He decides to use a company that has a monthly sales volume of $50,000 delivered over 100 equal transactions.
From the information available, what is the difference between the payment app with the lowest charge, compared with a credit card charge?
A) $575
B) $1200
C) $1050
D) $480
E) $1237
Answer and Explanation:
Credit card processing firms charge an average of 3.5% and a flat fee of about 20 cents so we would make our comparison on this basis:
Since Faiz decides to use a company that has a monthly sales volume of $50,000 delivered over 100 equal transactions
The customer would pay $50000/100= $500 per instalment
Given the information I'm the table from question Instant wallet charges 3.5% +$0.20 for transactions lower than $1500
= 0.035*$500+$0.20=17.5+0.20=$17.7
An average credit card processing firms would charge :
0.035*500+$0.35=17.5+0.35= $17.85
Therefore instant wallet is cheaper and would save a customer =$17.85-17.7= $0.15
