Answer:

See Explanation Below

Explanation:

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA): This Act of 1999 removed the barriers to consolidation among banking and other financial institutions and allowed the consolidation of a commercial bank, securities firm, investment bank, and insurance company. This Act is also known as the “Financial Services Modernization Act.” This Act allows consumers to use various financial services at a single financial institution. More importantly, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act provided limitations on the private information gained from consumers through the transactions performed through banks and other institutions. Private information cannot be sold to other entities without the permission of the consumer. In addition, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act makes the practice of obtaining information using false pretenses illegal. Because of the mergers of different types of financial institutions with the relaxation of barriers of consolidation, one entity could possibly have access to an individual’s financial, medical, and criminal history information through the merger of an insurance company and a brokerage company. Therefore, privacy legislation was needed to protect consumers with the Financial Services Modernization Act.

Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA): This act prohibits debt collectors from making use of unfair means to recover overdue bills. Unfair means may include calling consumers at any time other than between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. local time. It also prohibits using offensive language during the conversation over debt and demanding unjustified amounts not allowed legally. The FDCPA make consumers’ voices powerful by giving consumers more rights regarding how debts are collected from them. These rights include allowing consumers to sue debt collectors individually and to ban contact with consumers at work. Consumers can also seek proof that they actually do owe the money that the debt collector refers to. When first contacting a consumer, the debt collector must inform a debtor of his or her right to dispute the debt. The debt collector must also tell the debtor the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor, and the fact that the debt can be disputed within 30 days. Debt collectors can’t misrepresent themselves by claiming to be an attorney or an employee of a credit reporting agency.

The costs to society include the economic costs. Staffers, lawyers, and enforcement agencies are hired for the administration of these laws. Compliance with regulations requires that companies hire, train, and continually re-educate employees on how to comply with applicable laws. In addition, one provision of the FDCPA requires that consumers can recover reasonable attorney fees. Society needs to contribute for the payment of these services through taxes and also through the higher-priced products and services companies must assess in order to remain profitable

excess demand
excess supply

Based on this graph, what should happen to prices?

They should fall.
They should rise.
They should stay the same.

**PLEASE INCLUDE AN EXPLANATION!!

Answers

The result of the changes in the new quantity demanded and supplied would be called as:

d). Excess supply

On the basis of the graph, the price of the good would:

a). They should fall.

Demand and Supply

As represented by A and B, the increase in the price of the product would cause a fall in the demand of the product's quantity. As per the law of supply, the producers are willing to sell more goods at a higher price. While the law of supply states that the consumers demand the lower amount and therefore, the supply becomes excess, leading the price to fall.

Thus, options d and a would be the correct answer.

The colonial government never made any sincere attempt to estimate India's National and per capita income. However some individual attempts were made to measure such incomes. Which among those individual attempts of estimates of national income and per capita income was considered very significant?

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Among those individual attempts of estimates of national income and per capita income that were considered very significant to estimate India's National and per capita income in the colonial government, are the following.

Those important individual attempts belong to people like William Digby, Findlay Shirras, Dadabhai Naoroji, R.C. Desai, and VKVR Rao. From the British perspective, there was no real interest in the measurement of this economic indicator because what was important for the British government was to fulfill its economic and political interests such as the exploitation of natural resources and raw materials that were sent to England to be transformed in the fabrics and industries of London. The development or growth of India was never a goal.

This means in the case of goals, these will be organized from the goal that is closest in the future to the one that will take the most time. For example, if one of the goals is to buy a house in 10 years, this should be placed to the right of goals such as getting a degree in 2 years or buying a car in 3 years. Thus, a goal that takes 16 years should be placed to the right of a goal that takes 12 years in a timeline.

Forrester Company is considering buying new equipment that would increase monthly fixed costs from $120,000 to $150,000 and would decrease the current variable costs of $70 by $10 per unit. The selling price of $100 is not expected to change. Forrester's current break-even sales are $400,000 and current break-even units are 4,000. If Forrester purchases this new equipment, the revised break-even point in dollars would be: $300,000. $400,000. $325,000. $500,000. $375,000.

Answers

Answer: $375,000

Explanation:

Given the following :

Selling price = $100

New variable cost per unit =$(70 - 10) = $60

New fixed cost = $150,000

Break-even point in dollars:

Fixed costs/Contribution margin ratio

contribution Margin Ratio

[(selling price per unit - total variable cost per unit) /selling price per unit]

= [($100 - $60) / $100]

$40 / $100 = 0.4 = 40%

Break-even point in dollars:

$150,000 / 0.4 = $375,000

Construction of new homes decreases. This will cause the demand curve to shift ___________ for complimentary goods used to build the homes such as timber.

Answers

Answer:

to the left

Explanation:

When the construction of new homes decreases, the demand curve for complimentary goods used to build homes shift to the left as a result of a decrease in their demands.

The demand curve is a graph that shows the demand for a product in relation to the price of the product at a specific point in time. When the demand for a product increases, the curve shifts to the right, and when it decreases, the curve shifts to the left.

Complementary goods are goods that are required in conjunction with other goods or services. For example, timbers are required for buildings, hence, they timbers serve as complementary goods to buildings.

When the construction of new homes decreases, it means there will be less demands for timbers and as such, the demand curve will shift to the left.

homes for sale by owner always save the buyers money on a commission.
a) true
b) false

Answers

Answer:

b) false

Explanation:

This statement is false. When a home-owner decides to sell their property by themselves without the help of a realtor it is called an Open Listing. This saves the seller money by not having to pay a commission to anyone but usually since the price of the home stays the same the buyer is not saving any money. There are few cases in which not having to pay a commission allows the seller to lower the price of the house a little bit and attract more buyers but this is usually not the case.

“Creditors do not actually have to worry about their dues in case the business fails.” In which
form of business is this possible? Which special feature is highlighted in this statement ?

Answers

Answer:

Sole proprietorship

The sole proprietor(not creditors but creditor) bears all losses

Explanation:

Sole proprietorship is a form of business in which there is no legal difference between the owner and the business entity as both are one and the same. The term 'sole' connotes 'only' while 'proprietorship' connotes 'owner(ship)'; it is also referred to as individual entrepreneurship. This is because only the owner of the business (the proprietor) bears all the risks (losses, debts, legal actions etc) and benefits (profits, dividends etc) of the business venture. He owns all the assets of the business venture, debts as well as the legal actions (whether positive or negative); when business is faring well, he enjoys a handsome profit and when business is struggling, he also bears the brunt of it.

The special feature highlighted in the statement above is the reality that the "creditors" refers simply and only to the proprietor (the owner of the business); in which case, if the business fails, the proprietor does not have to bother about the backlash from creditors' pressures, legal actions etc. He is the sole bearer of the losses of the business venture.

A checking account has cash that you can use at your disposal. So, when the pharmacist asked “Cash or Credit?”, why did you say “debit” instead of either of the other two options?

Answers

Answer:

Credit:

Credit is usually less used than the cash and debit. The reason is that credits can help you build high balances, as it help you spend money which you currently don't have, which you may or may not be able to pay by the end of the month. If you are not able to pay by the end of the month, interest charges will be applied, and your financial hardships will easily grow.

If you have a checking account with enough cash, you simplify don't need to go for credit to avoid such a situation.

Cash:

The use of cash is reducing day by day. The main reason is that you have to decide before leaving the house how much cash you should carry. If your wallet gets lost, money is gone. If you are at a shop and your money falls short, then you'll have to go to an ATM to withdraw some more. This may seem a lot of hassle for some, and to avoid that people prefer to go for Debit.

Debit

Debit is considered the most friendliest way of transaction.

You don't have to worry all about the interest rates and the bills you get at the end of the month by using Credit, because you are using your own money from your current account to pay for purchases.

You also don't have to worry about carrying cash with you all the time. If your debit card gets misplaced,  just report it and block it. You won't suffer any financial damage

If an economy with C = $5000 + 0.6Yd, I = $1000, G = $800, T = $1000, NX = $-200, where the dollar amounts are in millions of dollars, both government spending and taxes are raised by $200 million, what will be the change in equilibrium income (in millions)?

A) $200
B) $100
C) $0
D) $-200
E) None of the above

Answers

Answer:

Y = 15,500

Explanation:

If government spending increased by $200 million

Y = C + I + G + NX

Y = 5,000 + 0.6(Y-1,000) + 1,000 + (800+200) - 200

Y = 5,000 + 0.6(Y-1,000) + 1,000 + 1,000 - 200

Y = 5,000 + 0.6(Y-1,000) + 1,800

Y = 5,000 + 0.6Y-600 + 1,800

Y = 6.200 + 0.6Y

Y - 0.6 Y = 6,200

0.4 Y = 6,200

Y = 6,200 / 0.4

Y = 15,500
