1) First of all, we have that options B and D do not change the net value. It is important to notice that in B, while 4000$ are paid, they already were a liability since they were a known debt; hence, paying it off does not change your net value. Also, paying for a car 16000$ that has the same value does not change the net worth of your assets; it just transforms one asset (16k $) into another (used car). Now, choice A means a negative change of 1500$ and choice E means a positive change of 2000$. Now, in C, we have that the buyer pays 15000$. But the asset he gains loses 20% of its value. Hence, it lose 20%*15000=3000$. Thus, C denotes the biggest change in net worth, since it yields a loss of 3000$.
2) Prime lending rates are more favorable to customers; it means that the bank assumes a lower risk with its money and thus provides a better interest rate to customers with good credit score. Prime lending rates are lower than subprime, since the lower the rate on a loan, the better for the customer. Also, the higher your credit score, the better; so prime rates are offered to customers with high credit scores.
3) The total cost of the house is 200000$. The person pays 20% of the house upfront. Hence, the buyer pays 20%*200000=40000$ upfront. The rest of the sum needs to be paid through a mortgage. Hence, the mortgage needs to have a value of 200000-40000=160000$; we need to subtract the down payment from the total value of the house.
4)In general, in a society that prospers, there is inflation and thus the value of 1$ diminishes over time; in order to account for this, interest rates on loans also can increase over time. Variable rate loans help with this. They usually have a lower initial interest, but the rate can increase or decrease based on the bank and the general financial circumstances. The lower rate is due to the fact that the customer risks that the rate increases by a lot.
5) These are two different loans, despite having the same lump sum and interest. First, the monthly payment on the 15 (year loan) is higher because when we have a big sum, if we divide it up into 15 years, the pieces are larger than if we divide it into 30 years. The monthly payment will be close to double for the 15 relative to the 30. So why prefer it? The point is that because the bank is valuing a quick return of assets, the total interest you pay is smaller in the case of 15, so the cost of the loan is smaller.
6) Let us see which are assets and which are liabilities. We will need to add all assets and then subtract all liabilities to get the net worth. 500$ in a savings account is an asset. Also, 5000$ for retirement is an asset too. However, 500$ credit card debt is a liability and we will need to subtract it. Finally, 6500$ of student loan debt is also a liability. So, Net Worth=NW is equal to: NW=500$+5000$-500$-6500$=-1500$. The correct choice is E.
Option "3" is the correct answer for the following situation.
Entire Contract
Explanation:
S takes out a whole contract of medical insurance which includes a clause specifying that the provider has no power to change the contract or to remove any of its clauses.
The entire contract is a type of agreement where both sides need to deliver on the promise in a contract.
The purpose of this sort of contract is to satisfy the whole of the contract. This kind of contract is also referred to as an indivisible contract.
Because the credit industry gains a profit from it's users. Credit is a tool, and if used wisely can be beneficial for many people who don't have enough cash to pay for things. Having "good" credit score means that it's easier for you to receive a loan.
Option B, "Customers can have any color they want so long as it's black," typified the production-oriented era of marketing.
Explanation:
From the start of capitalist systems to the early 1950s, a production orientation company dominated the market. The prevailing attitude was to potentially sell itself a high quality product. Due to the high demand and short supply of products, this approach has worked for many companies throughout this era.
The first stage acknowledged is the production period in marketing on the presumption that customers prefer products that are accessible and affordable. This philosophy won strategic combinations of broad allocation and cost leadership.
