According to an article in the Wall Street Journal​, KB Home and other builders found demand for new houses increasing in 2017 a

s a result of an increase in the formation of new households. In the long​ run, formation of new households depends on population growth. ​Source: Laura Kusisto and Sarah​ Chaney, "U.S. Housing Starts Fell in April for Third Time in Four​ Months," Wall Street Journal​, May​ 16, 2017. Are firms like homebuilders that sell products whose demand depends partly on demographic factors likely to be more or less affected by the business cycle than are other firms whose products are less dependent on these factors​ (holding constant other factors that affect the demand for new​ houses)?

Answer:

Generally speaking, demographic growth can affect the economy quite a lot, but the economy has a very little effect on demographic growth. E.g. the baby boomers were great for the economy during several decades, but there is no clear relationship between population growth and economic activity.

This means that companies like home builders whose demand depends on other factors besides the economy, will be less affected by economic recessions or expansions. E.g. the demographic growth in America was around 0.7% during 2019 and the economy was growing that year.

Actually, the US population has been declining over the last decades. The real growth factor in population has been immigration in the last decades, and that has also been declining lately.

A corporation entered into a contract with an owner of land for the transfer of land at a price of $500,000 in sixty days. The c
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Yes, because the corporation remains liable to the owner under the contract

Explanation:

The above answer is true because in this case, there is no limit to the assignment of the contractual rights between the two parties, hence this assignment of a contract would be treated as both an assignment of rights and a delegation of duties.

Therefore, while the corporation in this case has delegated its duties and assigned its rights under the contract to the developer by assigning the contract to the developer, the corporation is still considered to be liable to the owner for payment of the purchase price.

And given the fact that the developer is not as creditworthy as the corporation, and thus there is a greater chance that the developer will be unable to pay the purchase price, the owner has the rights under the contract arrangement to contractually compel the corporation to do so.

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are a wide range of different types of investments that can be made. One of which are Dividend-paying Stocks. These are individual company stocks that payout dividend payments to the holders of their stocks. Usually, these payments are made quarterly throughout the year but is a steady way of making extra regular passive income, without the maintenance work. Even though the income is usually steady the price of the stock can fluctuate and either increase or decrease in price depending on many different factors.

Another investment idea would be to create a digital course. If you invest time and a little money into creating a video course with information that is valuable to individuals around the world. Then that course can generate passive income for years to come. There is always something that someone around the world wants to learn which makes these courses valuable and people are willing to pay for that. The pros to this are that it can generate income steadily and for a very long time with little to no maintenance, while the cons are that it does take time to create and even more time if you do not yet possess the required knowledge in that topic.

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

The answer is "Choice B".

Explanation:

Please find the numbering of the question in the attached file.

Jack needed to steal money to create a children's Wild Wild West hillbilly animatronic rewards house. The state has a surplus, that has forced up Jack's already too high rate of return to exploit.

Its consequence for crowdedness is government spending for capital investors. Enhanced public expenditure results in domestic income. Its increase in government income generates an unstable monetary market with the increase in interest rates and holds the demand for money equal to a money supply set by a commercial bank. Increased rate of interest affects manufacturing costs but declines in private sector investment.
