Answer:

Many people's wealth is held in stocks and as the price of stocks collapsed, they lost wealth.

Imagine that this happened to you. One day you are rich and that affects your spending habits. In a matter of few days or weeks, you lose a large portion of your wealth. So now, you are less rich or even poor. So your spending habits will be altered, i.e. you will spend less.

If you consider the economy as a whole, aggregate demand will fall, resulting in a decrease of aggregate supply, and an overall decrease of the GDP.

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The monthly return on this investment vehicle is 1.37%

A perpetuity contract is one which lasts forever, It does not any time limit. Live Forever Life Insurance Co will pay $1,600 for indefinite time on today's investment of #117,000.

r = $1,600 / $117,000

r = 1.37%

Monthly return on the perpetuity is 1.37% for this perpetuity.

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

D. Kurt’s division is less risky than the other divisions.

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that the most likely reason is that Kurt’s division is less risky than the other divisions.
