If the reserve ratio is 15 percent, and banks do not hold excess reserves, and people hold only deposits and no currency, then w
8090 [49]

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Required reserve ratio = 15 percent

Bonds sell to public = $25.5 million

Bank reserves decreases by $25.5 million because of the purchasing of bonds from the Fed.

Money multiplier:

= 1/Required reserve ratio

= 1/0.15

= 6.67

Therefore, the money supply decreases by:

= Money multiplier × $25.5 million

= 6.67 × $25.5 million

= $170 million

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

(a) Amazon's balance in cash at the beginning of the year is $1,085 million

(b) Amazon's total liabilities at the end of the year is $3,914 million

(c) Cost of goods sold for the year is $8,264 million

(d)  Income before income tax for Amazon is $366 million

= $1,104 million - $19 million

= $1,085 million

(b) Total assets = Total liabilities + Total stockholders' equity

$4,417 million = Total liabilities + $503 million

Total liabilities = ($4,417 - $503) million

= $3,914 million

(c) Cost of goods sold = net sales - gross profit

= $10,722 million - $2,458  million

= $8,264 million

(d)  Income before income tax = Gross profit - operating expenses - other expenses

= $2,458 million - $2,062 million - $30 million

= $ 366 million

Quinn contracts to provide ten tons of scrap steel at $500 per ton to Rendered Materials, Inc. An unforeseen shortage of scrap s
solong [7]

Answer:

C) ​performance of the contract is commercially impracticable.

Explanation:

Contract law contemplates certain situations where performing the contract is either difficult or impossible and therefore the party is not liable for breaching the contract.

Commercial impracticability applies to contracts where the performance of at least one party is impracticable and cannot be accomplished.

In this case, Quinn cannot perform his duty since the price of scrap steel increased beyond any reasonable price contemplated in the contract. Since Quinn is not responsible for setting the price of scrap steel, he is not liable for breaching the contract.
