Yes. Companies should be protected by tariffs.. why?
Reptile [31]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

A tariff is a tax that the government imposes on either the imports or the exports of products or sevices.

Apart from the fact that tariff is a way of generating revenue by the government, tariffs help protect the domestic industry. This is because tariffs increases the price of imported goods.

Since there is an increase in the price of the imports, consumers tend to buy from the local manufacturer since their products tend to be cheaper when compared to the imports. This gives an edge to the domestic companies.

How do banks create money?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Commercial banks, required reserve, loans, deposits, create.

Explanation:

The main function of commercial banks is to accept deposits and then to lend the same money (minus required reserves) back out. Banks make a profit by charging a higher interest rate on loans than the interest rate they pay on deposits. Through the loan process, banks are actually able to create money.

The major function of commercial banks is

1. Accepting deposits from people and business organzations.

2. Giving loans to Customers to be paid at a specific period of time at an agreed interest rate.

Required reserve is the minimum amount of money which in required for a commercial Bank to hold/save out of every deposit. If the required reserve is 10% of every deposit, a customer customer deposited $100. The required will be $10 which the bank will hold. The remaining $90 is the balance which banks can loan out to Customers.

Commercial Banks make profit by charging a higher interest rate on loan and lower interest rate on deposits. For example: 7.5% interest rate on loan and 2.5% interest rate on deposits. The 5% difference is the bank Profit.

astraxan [27]

Answer:

The maximum time guaranteed = 19.04 minutes.

Explanation:

From the given problem data, we have:

Let Y be the random variable which follows the normal distribution.

So,

Y ~ N(u = 15, SD = 2.4

Where, u = mean and SD = Standard Deviation

Let the maximum time guaranteed is = M

So,

P (Y > M) = 0.05   equation 1

Convert this equation 1 into standard normal variable, that is,

P(Y> M) = 0.05

1 -  P(Y \leq M) = 0.05

P(Y \leq M) = 1 - 0.05

P(Y \leq M) = 0.95

P(\frac{Y-u}{SD} \leq \frac{M-u}{SD} ) = 0.95

P ( Z \leq \frac{M - 15}{2.4} )  = 0.95     Equation 2

From the equation 2, we have,

\frac{M-15}{2.4} = 1.644853627  

1.644853627 value is from using the function of Excel

( =NORSINV(0.95)) = 1.644853627

So,

M = 1.644853627 + 2.4 + 15

M = 19.04

Hence, the maximum time guaranteed = 19.04 minutes.
