    • Checking credit history with credit companies

    • Asking the bank how much you have in your account

    Correct Answer
    A. Checking credit history with credit companies
    Explanation
    Banks determine whether an individual is eligible for credit by checking their credit history with credit companies. This involves assessing the individual's past financial behavior, such as their repayment history, outstanding debts, and credit utilization. By examining this information, banks can evaluate the individual's creditworthiness and assess the level of risk associated with lending them money. This helps banks make informed decisions regarding credit approvals and determine suitable loan terms and interest rates.

    • Competition between Producers to create the most of one product or service

    • How much Consumers force a Producer to create in a month

    • The Amount of a Product/Service a Producer is willing to provide

    Correct Answer
    A. The Amount of a Product/Service a Producer is willing to provide
    Explanation
    Supply refers to the amount of a product or service that a producer is willing to provide. It represents the quantity of goods or services that a producer is willing and able to offer for sale at a given price in a given time period. It is influenced by factors such as production costs, technology, resource availability, and the producer's profit motive. The concept of supply is crucial in understanding market dynamics and determining equilibrium prices and quantities in a market economy.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Equilibrium is

    • Quantity is simultaneously equal to both the quantity demanded and quantity supplied

    • Demand goes up price goes up

    • Quantity goes up and is equal to demand and pricing

    Correct Answer
    A. Quantity is simultaneously equal to both the quantity demanded and quantity supplied
    Explanation
    In an equilibrium, the quantity is at a point where it is equal to both the quantity demanded and the quantity supplied. This means that the market is balanced, with no excess demand or supply. If the demand for a product increases, it will lead to an increase in price, causing the quantity supplied to also increase until it reaches a new equilibrium point. Therefore, the correct answer is that in equilibrium, the quantity is simultaneously equal to both the quantity demanded and quantity supplied.

    A. Rise in Prices and fall in purchasing value of money
    Explanation
    Inflation refers to the rise in prices of goods and services over time, which results in a decrease in the purchasing power of money. This means that as inflation occurs, the same amount of money can buy fewer goods and services. Therefore, the correct answer is "Rise in Prices and fall in purchasing value of money."

    Explanation
    APR stands for Annual Percentage Rate. It is a measure used to calculate the cost of borrowing, including interest and other fees, expressed as an annualized percentage. This rate allows borrowers to compare different loan options and understand the true cost of borrowing over time. The APR takes into account the interest rate as well as any additional costs associated with the loan, such as origination fees or closing costs. By considering the APR, borrowers can make informed decisions about which loan is the most cost-effective for their needs.

    Correct Answer
    A. Final payment date
    Explanation
    Closed-ended credit refers to a type of loan or credit agreement where there is a specified final payment date. This means that the borrower is required to make regular payments towards the loan until the final payment date, at which point the loan is fully paid off. Unlike open-ended credit, where the borrower can continuously borrow and repay funds, closed-ended credit has a predetermined end date, providing a clear timeline for repayment.

    A bull is commonly associated with a good market because it symbolizes optimism and upward trends in the stock market. In financial terms, a bull market refers to a period of rising prices and positive investor sentiment. The term "bull" is derived from the animal's charging behavior, which is seen as a metaphor for the market's upward movement. Therefore, choosing a bull as the animal that represents a good market is appropriate and aligns with the commonly accepted understanding in the financial world.

    A service/product is elastic if

    • Changes in Demand cause consumers to move stocks in stock market

    • A change in price still results in consumers buying the same amount

    • A change in price causes people to buy more or less

    Correct Answer
    A. A change in price causes people to buy more or less
    Explanation
    The given answer states that a service/product is elastic if a change in price causes people to buy more or less. This means that when the price of the product/service increases, consumers will buy less of it, and when the price decreases, consumers will buy more of it. This indicates that the demand for the product/service is sensitive to changes in price, making it elastic.

    Law of Demand

    • Price goes down spending goes up

    • Price goes up demand for quantity goes down

    • Price goes up demand for goods goes up

    Correct Answer
    A. Price goes up demand for quantity goes down
    Explanation
    The law of demand states that as the price of a good or service increases, the quantity demanded decreases. This is because consumers are less willing or able to purchase the good or service at a higher price. Therefore, when the price goes up, the demand for quantity goes down as consumers are less likely to purchase larger quantities of the good or service.

    A stock refers to a share of a company that is owned by an individual or an entity. It represents ownership in the company and gives the shareholder certain rights, such as voting rights and a claim on the company's profits. Stocks are traded on stock exchanges, and their value can fluctuate based on various factors such as the company's performance, market conditions, and investor sentiment. Owning stocks allows investors to participate in the company's growth and potentially earn dividends or sell the shares at a higher price in the future.

  • 17. 

    Union members can get fired if they go on strike?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Union members cannot be fired for going on strike. The right to strike is protected by labor laws in many countries, including the United States. Employers are prohibited from retaliating against employees for participating in lawful strikes. This protection is essential to ensure the collective bargaining power of unions and to maintain a fair balance of power between employers and employees. Therefore, the statement that union members can get fired if they go on strike is false.

    Why do people buy more when price drops

    • Income and substitute effect

    • More money to spend

    • So they can sell on Ebay when price goes up

    Correct Answer
    A. Income and substitute effect
    Explanation
    When the price of a product drops, people are more likely to buy more due to the income and substitute effect. The income effect refers to the increase in purchasing power that individuals experience when the price of a product decreases. This allows them to have more money to spend and afford more of the product. Additionally, the substitute effect suggests that when the price of a product drops, it becomes relatively cheaper compared to other similar products. This encourages people to switch from their usual choices to the cheaper option, leading to an increase in demand.

In this book, Smith discussed the concept of free markets, division of labor, and the invisible hand theory, which states that individuals pursuing their own self-interest can lead to the overall benefit of society. Smith's ideas laid the foundation for classical economics and greatly influenced the development of capitalism and economic policies worldwide.

    What determines Demand

    • Income

    • Stockbrokers

    • Interest of customers/ consumers

    Correct Answer
    A. Interest of customers/ consumers
    Explanation
    The demand for a product or service is determined by the interest and preferences of customers or consumers. The level of demand for a particular product or service depends on how much customers want or need it, and how willing they are to pay for it. Factors such as income and stockbrokers may indirectly influence demand by affecting consumers' purchasing power or investment decisions, but ultimately it is the interest and demand from customers that drives the overall demand for a product or service.

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    What is Elasticity

    • How far demand will stretch before price goes up

    • How people respond to change in price for goods or service

    • When Demand goes up Supply goes down on goods or services

    Correct Answer
    A. How people respond to change in price for goods or service
    Explanation
    Elasticity refers to how people respond to changes in the price of goods or services. It measures the sensitivity of demand to price changes. If demand is elastic, it means that a small change in price will result in a significant change in demand. On the other hand, if demand is inelastic, it means that changes in price have little impact on demand. Therefore, the correct answer is "How people respond to change in price for goods or service."

    Rate this question:

  • 23. 

    Product or services are inelastic if

    • Supply and price never changes

    • A change in price causes people to buy more or less

    • A change in price still results in consumers buying the same amount

    Correct Answer
    A. A change in price still results in consumers buying the same amount
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "A change in price still results in consumers buying the same amount." This statement suggests that the demand for the product or service remains constant regardless of changes in price. In other words, consumers are not sensitive to price fluctuations and will continue to purchase the same quantity regardless of price changes. This indicates that the product or service is inelastic, as the quantity demanded does not respond to changes in price.

    Rate this question:

  • 24.

    Correct Answer
    A. Debit removes from checking,charge card pay in full monthly, credit future money pay interest
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that a debit card removes money directly from a checking account, a charge card requires payment in full each month, and a credit card allows for future payment with interest.

    Rate this question:

  • 25. 

    Finance Charge

    • Annual Percentage Rate

    • What is still owed on Credit Card

    Correct Answer
    A. Cost for using Credit Card
    Explanation
    The term "Finance Charge" refers to the cost associated with using a credit card. It includes various fees such as interest charges, late payment fees, and annual fees. The finance charge is the amount that the cardholder must pay in addition to the actual amount spent using the credit card. It is calculated based on the Annual Percentage Rate (APR), which represents the yearly cost of borrowing money on the credit card. Therefore, the correct answer "Cost for using Credit Card" accurately describes the finance charge.

    Good credit rating

    • 700 +

    • 300-450

    • 1000+

    Correct Answer
    A. 700 +
    Explanation
    A good credit rating is indicated by a score of 700 or higher. This suggests that the individual has a strong credit history and is likely to be responsible in managing their finances. Lenders and financial institutions generally consider individuals with a credit score of 700 or higher as low-risk borrowers, making it easier for them to obtain loans, credit cards, and other financial products.

    A. Table that lists possible prices and Quantity
    Explanation
    A demand schedule is a table that lists the possible prices of a product or service along with the corresponding quantity that consumers are willing to purchase at each price. It helps in understanding the relationship between price and demand, and allows businesses to make informed decisions about pricing and production levels. By analyzing the demand schedule, companies can determine the optimal price point that maximizes profitability and meets consumer demand.

    Rate this question:

  • 28. 

    What is the Law of Supply?

    • As Price increases Demand increases

    • As Price increases Quantity increases

    • As Demand decreases Price Increases

    Correct Answer
    A. As Price increases Quantity increases
    Explanation
    The Law of Supply states that as the price of a good or service increases, the quantity supplied by producers also increases. This is because higher prices incentivize producers to supply more of the good or service in order to maximize their profits. As a result, the supply curve slopes upward from left to right, indicating a positive relationship between price and quantity supplied.

    Rate this question:

  • 29.

    A. Balance between two desireable but compatible features, a compromise
    Explanation
    A tradeoff refers to finding a balance between two desirable but compatible features or options. It involves making a compromise between these features in order to achieve an optimal outcome. In other words, it is the act of giving up one thing in exchange for another, in order to strike a balance between conflicting objectives or priorities. This allows for the optimization of resources and decision-making in various contexts.

    Describe Open Ended Credit

    • Borrow and pay back in limited number of months

    • No Final Payment Date

    • Pay off sometime in future when you get the money

    Correct Answer
    A. No Final Payment Date
    Explanation
    Open Ended Credit refers to a type of credit arrangement where there is no fixed deadline or final payment date for the borrower to repay the borrowed amount. Unlike closed-ended credit, which requires the borrower to pay back the loan within a specific time frame, open-ended credit allows the borrower to repay the loan at their own pace, as long as they meet the minimum payment requirements. This flexibility enables the borrower to pay off the debt sometime in the future when they have the financial means to do so.

    Congress has the power to coin money because it is stated in the United States Constitution. Article 1, Section 8 grants Congress the authority to regulate commerce and coin money. This power allows Congress to determine the value and type of currency used in the country. The responsibility of coining money is delegated to the United States Mint, which operates under the authority of Congress. Therefore, Congress is the correct answer for this question.

The number of consumers also influences demand; an increase or decrease in the number of consumers can result in a corresponding change in demand. Consumer taste refers to the preferences and choices of consumers, which can also impact demand. Additionally, the prices of substitutes and complements can affect demand as consumers may switch to alternative products based on their prices. Therefore, all of the mentioned factors can contribute to a sudden change in demand.

    The elasticity of a product or service refers to the responsiveness of its demand to changes in various factors. Time limit, portion of income used, and substitutes are all factors that determine the elasticity of a product or service. The time limit refers to the availability of alternatives or substitutes over time. The portion of income used indicates the proportion of a consumer's income that is spent on the product or service, which affects its elasticity. Substitutes are alternative products or services that can be used in place of the original, and their availability also influences elasticity.
