Answer: Investors believe future profits will be higher than previously expected.

Explanation:

If the S&P 500 has been rising, this means that investors are buying more shares in the companies in the index.

This means that these investors believe that the profits to come to these companies is going to be higher than expected. If the profits are expected to be the same as previously thought then there would be little increase in stock prices because the relevant increases would have already occurred.

myrzilka [38]

According to the information in the Graph Veronique made a better decision than Lily because the final cost of her purchase is lower including finance charges (option B)

<h3>What is a finance charge?</h3>

A finance charge is an economic term that refers to additional charges made by finance companies (such as banks) to a transaction we make, such as a purchase.

In the case of Veronique and Lilly, they both bought the same suitcase with different prices. However, the better financial decision was Veronique's because she paid less ($25) for the same bag including finance charges.

While Lilly, despite having fewer fees, will have to pay $10 more than Veronique.
