Answer: 14.5%

Explanation:

The after tax return is calculated by the formula:

= Before tax return * (1 - federal tax) * (1 - State tax)

As we have the after tax return, we should work on the before tax:

9% = Before tax return * (1 - 34%) * (1 - 6%)

9% = Before tax return * 0.6204

Before tax return = 9% / 0.6204

= 14.5%

shusha [124]

Answer:

Insolvent banks;Solvent banks.

Explanation:

A bank run can be defined as a situation where bank clients or depositors make withdrawals of their money simultaneously from banks as a result of being scared or afraid the depository institution will run out of cash (bankruptcy) and become insolvent.

The problem with bank runs is not that insolvent banks will fail; they are, after all, bankrupt and need to be shut down. The problem is that bank runs can cause solvent banks to fail and spread to the rest of the financial system.

In order to counter the problem with bank runs, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was established on the 16th of June, 1933.

Furthermore, to avoid bank runs or other financial institutions from being insolvent, the Federal Reserve (Fed) and Central banks (lender of last resort) are readily accessible and available to give monetary funds to these institutions when they're running out of money and as well as regulate their activities.

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": Insurance companies will only cover losses suffered while the policy is already in place.

Explanation:

Regardless of the type of insurance you purchase, the purpose of the coverage is having a policy in case an unexpected unfortunate event takes place. <em>Insurances do not enroll individuals who need the policy just because of an ongoing accident</em>. Those individuals could enroll in an insurance plan but the ongoing accident will not be covered by the company. Only those events happening when the policy is already valid are subject to evaluation for coverage.

user100 [1]

The answer is marginal costs in both places are the same. This is because the farmers in both places are profit-maximizers, the value in each flat is equal to MC or Marginal Cost and subsequently the market of corn is competitive, the price of corn in both places is the same. Also, marginal costs are higher in East Icicle than in Corncrib can also be a possible answer. For any given outflow per acre Corncrib’s corn yield are far better than in East Icicle, at any level of output, the marginal cost per acre in East Icicle must be higher in Corncrib, which suggests that in equilibrium the output level of corn in East Icicle is less than the output level of corn in Corncrib.
