The primary purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows is d) to provide information about a firm's cash inflows (receipts) and outflows (payments).
Answer: d. The FTC’s Red Flags Rule
Explanation:
The Federal Trade Commission has a Red Flags Rules that requires that financial institutions like Banks should implement a program that is capable of flagging instances of suspicious activity that could point to identity theft in the covered accounts that it holds.
This bank's customers are seeing some suspicious activity in their checking accounts which could point to a case of identity theft. The Red Flags rule could therefore be the most relevant rule to the manager's discovery.
<span>a) If energy prices go up, manufacturing costs go up, which ultimately increases the price of the notebook. This will also most likely lead to a decrease in quantity, as the manufacturing cost per unit is higher. This is a supply determinant.
b) In theory, the subsidy reduces the cost per unit to the manufacturer, which increases supply and often reduces price, again being a supply-side determinant. In reality, it creates an incentive for notebook manufacturers to keep doing what they are doing, disincentivizing cost-saving developments and alternatives. Why innovate when you can get free government cheese?
Anyway, supply determinant.
c) The price of an inferior good increasing tends to push some demand for superior goods, especially when the income to cost of good ratio remains the same for the inferior good but gets better for the superior one. Demand determinant. </span>
Answer:
This study was carried on by Jiang, Zhenling, during the first semester of 2019 and it involved more than 35 million auto loans in the US. The author determined that monthly payments carrying a $9 ending digit, e.g. $199, had a highest interest rate charged. While those monthly payments carrying a $0 ending digit, e.g. $200, had the lowest interest rate charged. African American and Latin consumers were the most negatively affected groups by the higher interest rates.
The study showed that an effective bargaining tactic would decrease total payments significantly. This research also includes a lot of other information regarding the total economic effects of ending digit bias.
Explanation:
I personally guess that many car sellers and auto loans institutions tempt both African American and Latin consumers by using apparently lower monthly payments (psychologically we all consider $199 to be much cheaper than $200) in order to charge higher interest rates. They also probably offer longer term loans, e.g. 5-6 year loans instead of 3-4 year loans.
