How can the loan decisions of individuals and private bankers contribute to the instability in the macroeconomy

1 answer:

5 0

Loan decisions made by both individuals and banks contribute greatly to the macroeconomy. Since everyone participates in the macroeconomy at large everyone is in some way tied together in terms of the ability to get and control credit. From this perspective many banks were willing to loan money to individuals based on the assumption that even if they couldn't make the payment the increase in house values would be enough to cover any potential losses. The issue arose when too much credit was extended, housing slowed and then there was little demand for new houses. This started a cascade of issues in the macroeconomy in terms of a housing bubble, an end to easy credit and a situation in which individuals and banks both had to be bailed out in order to prevent a complete collapse of the macroeconomy as a whole.
While private bankers made the loans there are also individuals that take loans that they know they can't repay or don't plan for situations in which they can't make a payment if something were to go wrong in terms of their job or a family issues that may arise. For this reason individuals are also responsible at a microlevel for the problems created at the macro level as a whole for the economy. Such borrowing had to end immediately to stave off future failures of banks who may not have had the liquidity and solid financial backing to survive such a predicament.

Leokris [45]

Answer:

tactical

Explanation:

"Planning" is a very important process in order for a business to know how it is going to allocate and manage its resources to achieve its goals in a more organized way. 

Among the planning options mentioned, Puma uses "tactical plans" in order to achieve its goal. Such type of plan is focused on a specific goal. In the case of Puma, it is focused on achieving $641 million in its sales target.

Tactical plans also include "when" or the time in which goals are going to be achieved. Most of the time, goals are set from less than a year to one year. In Puma's case, it's goal is by the end of the year.

Tactical plans also state the strategies that the company will use in order to achieve its goal. In order for Puma to increase its sales, it will be introducing new products, sell soccer equipment and combine different subsidiaries. These strategies will help Puma accomplish its mission.

So, this explains the answer.

Your business has purchased 500 pizza pans, 60 kg of sauce, 100 kg of cheese, 2.5 kg of basil, 2.5 kg of oregano, 5 kg of yeast,

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

400 pizzas

Explanation:

The complete question would be:

You are going into the business of making pizzas. The following is the list of ingredients to make ONE pizza:

400 g flour 50 mL water

10 g yeast 120 g sauce

250 g cheese 5 g oregano

5 g basil

Your business has purchased 500 pizza pans, 60 kg of sauce, 100 kg of cheese, 2.5 kg of basil, 2.5 kg of oregano, 5 kg of yeast, and 200 kg of flour. You have as much water as you need. How many pizzas can you make?

You are going to have to make a couple of conversions to do this. Since everything you need is indicated in grams, we first need to convert everything you have in grams.

There are 1,000 g in 1 kg. So now we convert them all:

60 kg of sauce

$60kg \times \dfrac{1,000g}{1kg} = 60,000g$

100 kg of cheese

$100kg \times \dfrac{1,000g}{1kg} = 100,000g$

2.5 kg of basil

$2.5kg \times \dfrac{1,000g}{1kg} = 2,500g$

2.5 kg of oregano

$2.5kg \times \dfrac{1,000g}{1kg} = 2,500g$

5 kg of yeast

$5kg \times \dfrac{1,000g}{1kg} = 5,000g$

200 kg of flour

$200kg \times \dfrac{1,000g}{1kg} = 200,000g$

So now that we know what we have, we determine how many pizzas we can make with the amount of each ingredient. We get the ratio of each ingredient to one pizza to determine how many we can make:

Flour:

Available: 200,000g

Needed: 400g

$200,000g\ of\ flour\times\dfrac{1\ pizza}{400g\ of\ flour} = 500\ pizzas$

Yeast:

Available: 5,000g

Needed: 10g

$5,000g\ of\ yeast\times\dfrac{1\ pizza}{10g\ of\ yeast} = 500\ pizzas$

Cheese:

Available: 100,000g

Needed: 250g

$100,000g\ of\ cheese\times\dfrac{1\ pizza}{250g\ of\ cheese} = 400\ pizzas$

Basil:

Available: 2,500g

Needed: 5g

$2,500g\ of\ basil\times\dfrac{1\ pizza}{5g\ of\ yeast} = 500\ pizzas$

Sauce:

Available: 60,000g

Needed: 120g

$60,000g\ of\ sauce\times\dfrac{1\ pizza}{120g\ of\ sauce} = 500\ pizzas$

Oregano:

Available: 2,500g

Needed: 5g

$2,500g\ of\ oregano\times\dfrac{1\ pizza}{5g\ of\ oregano} = 500\ pizzas$

We do not need to consider water, because it will provide as many as we will need.

So here we see that all but one ingredient is able to yield 500 pizzas. Cheese is the only one that yields less than 500, specifically 400 only. This is your limiting ingredient and this ingredient determines how many pizzas you can make. Because when you run out of cheese, you can no longer make a pizza.

True or false: Many companies are discontinuing defined-benefit plans and moving toward defined-contribution plans, which shifts

julsineya [31]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

A defined benefit pension plan is a type of pension plan where the employer gives a promise with respect to the particular pension payment that could be lumpsum for the retirement basis

Since in the question it is mentioned that the companies would not continue with the defined benefit plan and they move to the defined-contribution plans that save for the retirement so that it would create the more responsibility over the company due to this they would provide the retirement benefit but this statement is false as it is better to received the lumpsum amount
