Answer:

67%

Explanation:

Money supply = Money multiplier * Deposit worth

3 = Money multiplier * 2

Money multiplier = 3/2

Money multiplier = 1.5

Now, Money multiplier = 1 / Reserve ratio

1.5 = 1 / Reserve ratio

Reserve ratio = 1/1.5

Reserve ratio = 0.6667

Reserve ratio = 67%

So, the percent of deposits the banks hold as reserves is 67%

Assume that three identical units of merchandise were purchased during October, as follows: Units Cost October 5 Purchase 1 $5 1
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Cost of merchandise sold = $ 28

Gross profit = $ 13

The ending inventory under the LIFO method = $ 18

Explanation:

Given:

October 5,

Purchased units =  1

Unit cost = $5

on October  12,

Purchased units = 1

Unit cost = $ 13

On October 28,

Purchased unit = 1

Unit cost = $ 15

Total cost of the 3 units purchased = $33

Now, the unit sold on October 31 will be the unit purchased in the end i.e on October 28

thus,

Cost of merchandise sold = $ 28

Gross profit = Selling price of the unit - Unit price of purchase

or

Gross profit = $ 28 - $ 15 = $ 13

now, the ending inventory under the LIFO method = $ 5 + $ 13 = $ 18

A homeowner has a mortgage balance of $149,570.75. If the interest rate on the loan is 9.5% and the monthly payment is $1,303.55
nalin [4]

Answer:

Principal balance at the end of year 2 = 149,330.9079

Explanation:

Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.

We will use the following relationships:

Interest paid = Interest rate × loan balance

Principal paid = Monthly installment - Interest paid

Principal balance= loan balance - principal paid

Year 1

Interest paid    =    9.5%/12 × 149,570.75 =   1,184.101          

Principal paid in year 1 = 1,303.55 -  1,184.101  = 119.448

Principal balance =  149,570.75 - 119.448= 149,451.3018

Year 2

Interest paid = interest rate × loan balance in year 1 = 1183.156

Interest paid = 9.5%/12 × 149,451.3018 = 1183.156

Principal paid = 1,303.55 - 1183.156139  = 120.393

Principal balance at the end of year 2= Principal balance in year 1 - Principal paid in  year 2

= 149,451.3018  - 120.393861  = 149330.9079

Principal balance at the end of year 2 = 149,330.90

WARRIOR [948]

Answer: D. The neighbor, because obtaining financing was a condition precedent.

Explanation:

Even though it wasn't listed in the written contract, there was the condition precedent that the contract would not be binding unless funding was obtained. Condition precedent is a condition that must happen for a contract to become enforceable.

Funding was not obtained so the contract cannot be enforced. The neighbor would therefore prevail so long as the owner admits that there was indeed a condition precedent.
