myrzilka [38]

According to the information in the Graph Veronique made a better decision than Lily because the final cost of her purchase is lower including finance charges (option B)

<h3>What is a finance charge?</h3>

A finance charge is an economic term that refers to additional charges made by finance companies (such as banks) to a transaction we make, such as a purchase.

In the case of Veronique and Lilly, they both bought the same suitcase with different prices. However, the better financial decision was Veronique's because she paid less ($25) for the same bag including finance charges.

While Lilly, despite having fewer fees, will have to pay $10 more than Veronique.

A nation's production possibilities curve is bowed out from the origin because: A. resources are not equally efficient in produc
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

A production possibility curve shows the different bundles of maximum possible two goods that can be produced using the given resources. The production possibility curve is concave to the origin.  

This shape of the curve is because of opportunity cost. We know that to increase the production of one commodity we need to sacrifice production of its alternative.  

The resources can not be perfectly substituted and the opportunity cost goes on increasing with the increase in output, that's why the production possibility curve is bowed out or concave to the origin.

Zigmanuir [339]

A similarity between mortgages and auto loans is that both are less risky for lenders.
Lenders are the ones who lend money to those who need it urgently, in the form of a mortgage, or perhaps an auto loan. This money is going to be repaid monthly, or in whatever way the contract stipulates. It is less risky for the lender because legally, this has to be repaid.

What is the BEST reason to review your credit reports annually?
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": To see if there are any errors or fraudulent activity.

Explanation:

Credit reports provide a summary of all the credits an individual has. It is a good practice to request a credit report at least once a year to find out if there is <em>fraudulent activity</em>. Banks usually inform account holders about fraudulent activity but in some other cases, such as in identity theft, the affected person does not realize what is happening until collection is made for the debt that person is supposed to have.
