Keeping your card-related information (e.g. PIN) in the same place as your credit card is not a recommended practice to guard against credit card fraud. This is because if someone gains access to your credit card, they will also have access to your PIN, making it easier for them to misuse your card. It is advisable to keep your card-related information separate from your credit card and to memorize your PIN instead of writing it down.

The correct answer is $90,000 in checkable deposit liabilities and $32,000 in reserves. This is because the bank has $5,000 in excess reserves, which means it can lend out $5,000 x (1/0.3) = $16,667. This amount is added to the initial reserves of $5,000, resulting in a total of $21,667 in reserves. The checkable deposit liabilities must be 10 times the amount of reserves, so $21,667 x 10 = $216,670. However, since the initial reserves were $5,000, the actual checkable deposit liabilities must be $216,670 - $5,000 = $211,670. Therefore, the correct answer is $90,000 in checkable deposit liabilities and $32,000 in reserves.

John's total opportunity cost if he chooses to remain as a school teacher is $204,000. This is calculated by subtracting his potential earnings from the tuition center ($250 per month per student * 100 students * 12 months) from his current salary as a school teacher ($65,000). Therefore, the opportunity cost is $250,000 - $65,000 = $204,000.

According to the Principle of Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) for a country of fixed exchange rates, there should be no deviations between domestic and foreign inflation rates in the long run. If there were deviations, the real exchange rate would appreciate or depreciate without end. This means that the value of the currency would continuously increase or decrease without any limit.

In the real business cycle model, short-run fluctuations in real GDP occur when shocks move the long-run aggregate supply curve. This means that unexpected changes in factors such as technology, productivity, or input costs can cause shifts in the long-run aggregate supply curve, leading to changes in real GDP in the short run. These fluctuations are not caused by gradual price adjustments or changes in investment dependent on the growth of real GDP.
