Answer: $917.54

Explanation:

The current value of the debt of Big Ed's Electrical will be calculated thus:

First, we will calculate the present value which will be:

= $800 / (1 + 4%)

= $800 / ( 1 + 0.04)

= 800 / 1.04

= $769.23

The number of options that are needed

will be:

= (1300 - 800) / ( 300 - 0)

= 500 / 300

= 1.6667

Therefore,

1140 = ( number of option needed × Co) + Present value

1140 = (1.6667 × Co ) + 769.23

Co = (1140 - 769.23 ) / 1.6667

Co = 370.77 / 1.6667

Co = $222.46

Value of debt will now be:

= Current worth of assets - Co

= 1140 - 222.46

= 917.54

Therefore, the answer is $917.54

Please help! <br><br>How can easy access to credit lead to Financial Mistakes and Bankruptcy?
zvonat [6]

Answer: over-borrowing.

Explanation:

credit cards function like this: you can "buy" a lot of things with it, including very very expensive things. this is because instead of really buying that product, you borrow money from the bank to buy it. you then have to pay it off in slower amounts of money over time until youve paid off the original cost of the product and more because the bank will most likely charge interest.

sounds great, right?

it is, until you cant afford to pay those smaller amounts of money. then, it starts to build up and if you still cant afford to pay the bank, they will begin to liquidize your physical assets (they take your stuff as payment, really anything, even your house can be taken.)

in which economy below are private owners most concerned with developing wealth? capitalism mixed market socialism communism
vaieri [72.5K]

Private owners' primary aim in capitalism is money creation.

A system of economics referred to as "capitalism" is one that promotes private ownership of the tools of creation, distribution, and exchange in order to generate profit. In this system, the market decides the production and pricing of the goods and services, hence supply and demand dynamics are very important.

An economic system known as capitalism is one in which private individuals own and manage the trade and industries of the economy in order to profit.

What is Capitalism:

Capitalism, which includes both the working class and the capitalist class, supports class differentiation, there is a significant gap between the rich and the poor. On the other hand, communism is opposed to class inequalities in society since it supports a society in which there is no distinction among the rich and the poor.

In a capitalist society, everyone is responsible for generating their own wealth. Contrarily, in communism, wealth is dispersed in accordance with needs and capacity. While there is intense competition between businesses in capitalism, this is not the case in communism, because the government controls the market. While capitalism exists in western nations, socialism is more prevalent in eastern nations.

Suppose that the Federal Reserve conducts open market operations by purchasing $1,000 worth of government securities from Bank A
notsponge [240]

Answer:

$100 in bank A

$900 in bank B

Explanation:

Since the required reserve ratio is 10%, then bank A can lend up to 90% of the funds to bank B, and must keep the remaining 10%.

  • bank A = $1,000 x 10% = $100
  • bank B = $1,000 x 90% = $900

If bank B borrowed the money to another client, then they would be able to borrow $900 x 90% = $810, and they should keep $90 as reserves.
