Hello there! A complete answer is below!
Answer:
A. Interest rates would decrease because real estate would have a relatively lower rate of return compared to bonds, which would cause the demand for bonds to increase.
Explanation:
Interest rates would decrease because companies would realize customers aren't buying anymore. Due to low business and little profit, they would be forced to cut prices. There would be a sharp rate of returns rather than bonds. This would cause the rate of bonds to decrease. So, the answer is A.

A felon planned to break into the rental storage unit next to his that contained valuable electronic equipment. He went to a hardware store to purchase a crowbar. The proprietor sold him the crowbar even though he told her that he needed it to break into someone's storage unit. After the purchase, the felon went to the storage facility with his friend. The felon told the friend that he had lost the key to his storage unit and did not have time to contact the facility's manager, so they needed to break into the unit to get his equipment. Because the felon had a bad back, the friend pried open the door with the crowbar and carried the equipment out to the car. A silent alarm was triggered and the pair were apprehended shortly after leaving the facility. Can the proprietor and the friend be convicted as accomplices to larceny
Answer:
Yes.
The proprietor and the friend were accessories to the crime. They could have prevented it, but they did nothing. The friend even participated actively in the robbery.
Explanation:
In criminal law, an accessory to a crime refers to a person who knowingly and voluntarily participates in the commission of a crime, for example, breaking rental storage. They can be categorized as before the crime (the proprietor who sold the crossbar) or after the commission of the crime (the friend that facilitated the robbery). Accessories to a crime need not be actually present at the scene of the robbery to be held liable for this crime.

Answer:
Legal and ethical
Explanation:
Considering the scenario described above it is revealed that the borrower has the choice of choosing how he would prefer or have to structure his oan, while the originator or mortgage broker follows by the borrower's judgment or decision.

The purpose of penalty clauses in purchasing agreements is to _________. assure the financial stability of the supplier stock inventory at the supplier require the supplier to comply with mandatory cost reduction efforts avoid supplier delivery problem
Answer:
avoid supplier delivery problem
Explanation:
Supply chain management can be defined as the effective and efficient management of the flow of goods and services as well as all of the production processes involved in the transformation of raw materials into finished products that meet the insatiable want and need of the consumers. Generally, the supply chain management involves all the activities associated with planning, execution and supply of finished goods and services to the consumers.
The fundamental principle of supply chain management is the complete collaboration between multiple firms. These multiple firms include a company that is saddled with the responsibility of manufacturing producer), a wholesaler, and a retailer who typically sells the products to the customers or consumers.
Basically, these three (3) firms or individuals are required to collaborate with each other so as to meet the needs of the customers in a timely manner or fashion and at a fair price too.
A contract can be defined as an agreement between two or more parties (group of people) which gives rise to a mutual legal obligation or enforceable by law.
A penalty clause can be defined as an express provision in a contractual agreement which places an obligation or penalty such as a forfeit or fine, upon the party who has breached a contract by providing compensation to the victim or aggrieved party.
Hence, the purpose of penalty clauses in purchasing agreements is to avoid supplier delivery problem between the producers, wholesaler, retailer and consumers or buyers and sellers.

Given a home country and foreign country, Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) suggests that: Group of answer choices a home currency will depreciate if the home inflation rate exceeds the foreign interest rate. a home currency will appreciate if the home interest rate exceeds the foreign interest rate. a home currency will depreciate if the home inflation rate exceeds the foreign inflation rate. a home currency will appreciate if the home inflation rate exceeds the foreign inflation rate.
Answer: a home currency will depreciate if the home inflation rate exceeds the foreign inflation rate.
Explanation:
Inflation erodes the value of a currency such that it is worth less than it was before. If the inflation in a country is higher than that of the inflation in another country therefore, the value of the currency of the former would be less valuable than the value of the currency of the latter because it suffered greater erosion in value.
The former's (home) currency will therefore depreciate against the foreign currency(latter) to reflect that its value is lower relative to the foreign currency.

An investor is considering investing in a stock they plan to hold for 2 years. The stock is expected to pay dividends of $1.50 per share in each of the 2 years and sell for $20 at the end of two years. If the investor requires an 8% return on this stock, how much should they pay for it using the Dividend Discount Model?
Answer: $19.82
Explanation:
The price the investor would be willing to pay today would be the present value of the dividends and the selling price at the end of 2 years using the required return as the discount rate.
= 1.50 / (1 + 8%) + 1.50 / (1 + 8%)² + 20 / (1 + 8%)²
= 1.3888889 + 1.286 + 17.1467764
= $19.82

Jose Cano = Job 301 + Job 302 + Job 303 = 11 + 13 + 15 = 39
WIP = (38*22) + (38*36) + (39*28)
WIP = 1216 + 1368 + 1092

The owner of a house purchased a new home but decided to keep his old residence for a few months until the real estate market improved. He rented it to a tenant with the understanding that the tenant might have to move out in a few months if the house was sold. The tenant paid the owner the agreed rent of $100 per week every Friday. During the next few months, the owner's business suffered serious setbacks so he decided to sell his new home and move back into his old one. He informed the tenant that he would have to vacate the old home, but the tenant refused to vacate and tendered the $100 rental payment the following Friday, which the owner refused to accept. The owner immediately filed suit to eject the tenant. The jurisdiction requires that a statutory written notice be served on any tenant whose term is for less than month-to-month or is not for a fixed term at least three days prior to commencement of eviction proceedings. No written notice of any kind was given to the tenant. How should the owner characterize the tenant to gain immediate possession of his home
Answer:
the owner of the house would need to characterize the tenant as a licensee.
Explanation:
A licensee is a person that occupies a house but is not a tenant, therefore, he/she is not protected by the same laws that protect tenants. For example, a friend that stays in your house is considered a licensee or someone that stays in a hotel or lodge is also a licensee.
Centre City enacts an ordinance that bans the distribution of all printed materials on city streets. Diners Café opposes the city’s latest "revenue-enhancing" measure—a tax on prepared food sales—and wants to protest by distributing handbills. In Diners’ suit against the city, a court would likely hold the ban on printed materials to be
Answer: unconstitutional under the First Amendment.
Explanation:
From the information provided, in Diners’ suit against the city, the court would likely hold the ban on printed materials to be unconstitutional under the First Amendment.
Under the First Amendment, any law that limits or ban freedom of expression, religion, peaceful assembly, petitioning of the government is prohibited. Therefore, the action of the city is unconstitutional.
Trudy’s monthly expenses are outlined in the chart below. Trudy’s job pays her $36,000 annually. Determine Trudy’s DTI (debt-to-income) ratio. Trudy's Debt and Income Income: $36,000 (annually) Rent: $695 (monthly) Car Payment $265 (monthly) Student Loan $200 (monthly) Credit Cards $160 (monthly) a. 28% b. 35% c. 37% d. 44% Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D
Answer:
d. 44%
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what DTI ratio is
First step is to calculate the Debt
Using this formula
Debt = (Rent expense + Carr payment + Loan + Credit card payment) × Number of months in a year
Let plug in the formula
Debt =[($695 + $265 + $200 $160) × 12 months]
Debt= $1,320 × 12 months
Debt = $15,840
Now let calculate DTI ratio using this formula
Using this formula
Debt to income ratio = (Debt) ÷ (Income) × 100
Let plug in the formula
DTI ratio=[ ($15,840 ÷ $36,000) × 100]
DTI ratio=0.44*100
DTI ratio= 44%
Therefore DTI ratio is 44%
Answer:
I found the missing data:
Monthly expenses:
rent is $695
car payment is $265
student loan's $200
credit cards $160
695 + 265 + 200 + 160 = 1,320
1,320 * 12 months = 15,840
Debt-to-Income ratio = 15,840 / 36,000
Debt-to-Income ratio = 0.44
Trudy's DTI ratio is d. 44%

Linda Baer has already saved $6,500 to buy a used vehicle. Ignoring taxes and assuming her money is invested in a money market account earning 3 percent compounded annually, how long will it take to buy a car that costs $9,000?
Answer:
11 years.
Explanation:
Below is the calculation for the time period:
Present value of the money = $6500
Interest rate = 3%
Future value of the money = $9000
Future value = Present Value (1 + r )^n
9000 = 6500 (1 + 3%)^n
9000/6500 = (1 + 3%)^n
1.3846 = (1.03)^n
Now solve for the value of n by taking ln on both sides.
Thus n = 11 years.

Slower money growth will lead to a liquidity effect, which will raise interest rates. Moreover, the lower income, price level, and inflation will reinforce the increase in interest rates.
Answer: B. Slower money growth will lead to a liquidity effect, which will raise interest rates; however, the lower income, price level, and inflation will tend to lower interest rates.
Explanation:
Slower money growth would mean there is less money in the economy which means that there is less liquidity. This will increase interest rates because there would be less money available to loan out to people and so the ones that will be available have to be done at high rates.
As a result of the lower money supply though, people would have lower incomes and demand less goods which would reduce the price level. These will have the effect of reducing the rates to enable people get loans.
