1. In choosing a financial institution you must consider how frequently the bank responds, how long they operate on the weekends, the notary services they are offering, the loans you can get and their financial strength among others. The most important factor to consider would be the institution's financial strength since you must only put your trust in institutions with high strength.
2. One good thing about the U.S. savings bonds is their security and the fact that the investments that you will make in these bonds will not cost you any form of state or local taxes. Cons would include its complexity though as it can get hard for you to identify when the bonds will mature, their interest rates, when to know how to cash them, and their current value.
3. If you put your trust in the so-called "problematic" financial institutions, you are basically gambling your money away. First of all, as mentioned earlier, you must only put your trust in banks with a healthy financial strength since problematic ones will be unreliable and unsafe. Trusting them can lead to your money being stolen or you can also be bombarded with additional fees.
4. The state and local government have laws that will protect the consumer from unfair practices or frauds. As an individual, you can add more security to protect yourself and your money. This protection includes setting up alerts on your bank account, adding a two-step verification on your emails so no one can access it easily, as well as avoiding calling lists.
5. One major advantage is that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has a $100,000 guarantee per institution so your investment won't be totally gone during unfortunate circumstances. The disadvantage, on the other hand, is that the interest rates on federally-insured accounts are below the inflation rate so you can expect a decrease in the value of your money over time.
Answer:
<em>Options Include:</em>
A. demand will become more price elastic.
B. price elasticity of demand will not change as price is lowered.
<em>C. demand will become less price elastic. is Correct</em>
D. the elasticity of supply will increase.
Explanation:
<em>Typically as a broadly accurate guide, the product is called elastic if the quantity of a good demanded or purchased increases more than the change in price. </em>
(Price increases by + 5%, but demand decreases by -10%). When the shift in the purchased quantity is the same as the price change (say, 10 per cent/10 per cent= 1), the product is said to have price elasticity unit (or unitary).
Eventually, when the purchased quantity changes less than the price (say,-5 per cent demanded for a price change of+ 10 per cent), then the product is called inelastic.
Answer: $8,000
Explanation:
A special rule allows Michelle to classify up to $25,000 as losses against her nonpassive income.
If Michelle's modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) exceeds $100,000 however, the amount that exceeds the $100,000 will be reduced by 50% and deducted from the exemption allowed.
Loss deduction = Exemption allowed - [(Nonpassive income - MAGI limit) * 50%)
= 25,000 - [ (120,000 + 10,500 + 3,500 - 100,000) * 50%]
= $8,000
Answer: A. She believes the company has become riskier, and therefore increases her required rate of return for the stock.
Explanation:
The formula for the Constant dividend growth model of valuing stock is:
<em>= Next dividend / (Required return - growth rate)</em>
From the formula above, one can tell that if the required return is higher, it would result in a lower value for stock because it would divide the numerator more.
If the analyst believes that the company is riskier and increases the required return, the value would therefore reduce if other measures are kept constant.
Answer:
Option (c) is correct.
Explanation:
We know that beef is used as an ingredient or input in making hamburgers. If the price of the input i.e beef increases then as a result supply of hamburgers decreases because of the higher cost of production. This will shift the supply curve leftwards, its shows that lesser supply with same level of demand will lead to higher prices of hamburgers.
