The U.S. dollar is fiat money, as are the euro and many other major world currencies. This approach differs from money whose value is underpinned by some physical good such as gold or silver, called commodity money. The United States, for example, used a gold standard for most of the late 19th and early 20th century

  • The first U.S. dollar was printed in 1914 after the Federal Reserve Bank was created. The Allies paid the U.S. for supplies in gold during World War I, propelling the U.S. to become the largest holder of gold. Countries pegged their currencies to the dollar after the war, ending the gold standard.

When demand is inelastic and price is decreased:
REY [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": the effect of the decrease in price on total revenue dominates the effect of the increase in quantity demanded on total revenue; overall total revenue declines.

Explanation:

Goods or services have inelastic demand when changes in prices do not affect their quantity demanded. If prices decrease or increase, the quantity demanded will remain at the same level or the change will be so minimal that it is not perceived. It is said then that <em>the decrease in price dominates the effect of the changes in quantity demanded. </em>

However, <em>if prices decrease and the quantity demanded remains the same, the company's overall revenue will decrease.</em>

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

FV= $857,840.94

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

First investment:

Annual deposit= $5,000 per year

Interest rate= 10%

Number of years= 5

Second investment:

Number of years= 35

Interest rate= 10%

Lumpsum= first investment

First, we need to calculate the future value of the first investment. We will use the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

FV= {5,000*[(1.1^5) - 1]} / 0.10

FV= $30,525.5

Now, the future value of the second investment.

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 30,525.5*(1.1^35)

FV= $857,840.94

The opportunity cost of doing or getting something is best and fully defined as:
Marysya12 [62]

Answer: The correct answer is C. The value of the best alternative that is given up in order to do or get something.

Explanation: Opportunity cost literally means alternative thing forgone - meaning what is given up to get something <em>(sacrifice</em>). It is a concept used by economists to allocate limited resources for production, consumption, distribution and exchange of goods and services. Production of goods or services entails the creation of value. In other words, it gives a more understanding on how limited resources are allocated in order to satisfy the human insatiable desires.

For example, a student may be constrained with limited amount of pocket money, say $100 and the student wants to buy textbooks that cost $10 each or go for different outings going for $20 each. In this scenario, the student has different options: a) buy 10 textbooks and 0 outing b) buy 8 textbooks and a outing c) 6 textbooks and two outings d) 4 textbooks and three outings e) 0 textbooks and five outings. For the student to have any more of the other, he has to give up the other unit. What is given up is called opportunity cost.
