Answer: B. an increase in interest rates that decrease economic growth.

Explanation:

If interest rates were to rise in an Economy, that would mean that the cost of borrowing just rose. The rise in the Cost of Borrowing reduces consumer spending as well as business investment. This will therefore lead to a lower Aggregate demand. A lower AD in the Economy usually leads to a decrease in economic growth.

Now, if such things were to happen, a firm may definitely invest in fewer projects because first off it will be more expensive for them to borrow and invest because of the high rates. They will also be discouraged because of the Decrease in economic growth as the chances of their projects doing well will be drop in a depreciating economy.

A title for goods obtained by a seller through fraud, impersonation, or a dishonored check is referred to as a(n. ________.
Aliun [14]

Answer:

voidable title

Explanation:

A voidable title is considered good and valid title until voided.  

For example, I purchase a PS4 from my nephew who is a minor and I sell it to my neighbor, and my neighbor purchased it on good faith. My nephew can decide to void the contract because he was a minor, but since I passed good title to my neighbor while the contract was valid, my neighbor doesn't have to return the PS4.

The difference with a void title is that a void title was never good and valid.

On the other hand, if I had stolen the PS4, I would never have good title over it, and I sell it to my neighbor. The rightful owner of the PS4 can claim it back and my neighbor must return it because the contract was void since I never had good title on the PS4.
