Mortgage lenders prefer candidates that can prove steady employment for at least the past two years. Long periods of unemployment won’t bode well for your application, and neither will a pattern of declining earnings. In a perfect world, you have been on the same job for at least the last two years, or have made a job change to a higher paying position in that time.

Answer:
Quota rent
Explanation:
When voluntary export restraints (VER) are set up and / or import quotas are enforced, the extra profit that domestic producers make because the supply is artificially limited is called quota rent. Quota rents are a type of economic inefficiency since they produce more losses than benefits. Society as a whole generally losses while a group of favored companies make huge profits.
For example, sugar imports are limited in the US, so domestic sugar producers are able to sell sugar at much higher prices than regular international prices. That artificial extra profit earned by sugar companies in the US can be classified as quota rent.
Answer:
$200 million
$30 million
Explanation:
When the requiredreserce ratio is 15 percent or 0.15 , then the money multiplier is (1 / required reserve ratio) or (1/0.15 = 0.67)
Now, change in money supply = money multiplier * open market purchase of government bonds.
Here , the Federal Reserve a $30 million open market purchase Of govemment bonds.
As a result of this;
Money Supply increases by (6.7 * $30 million) = $200 million.
This is the maximum amount the money supply could Increase.
Now, if the bank holds. $30 million as excess reserves, then money supply could increase by as much as $30 million. This is the smallest amount themoney supply could increase.
So, If the required reserve ratio is 15 percent the largest possible increase in the money supply that could result is $200 million- and the smallest possible increase is $30 million.
