    Current interest rates can affect the price of a home.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because interest rates have a direct impact on the affordability of a home. When interest rates are low, it becomes more affordable for individuals to borrow money for purchasing a home, leading to an increase in demand and potentially driving up home prices. On the other hand, when interest rates are high, borrowing becomes more expensive, reducing the demand for homes and potentially causing prices to decrease. Therefore, current interest rates can indeed affect the price of a home.

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Debits your account at the moment you buy goods and services." This means that when you use a debit card to make a purchase, the money is immediately taken out of your bank account. Unlike a credit card, which allows you to borrow money and pay it back later, a debit card uses the funds you already have available in your account.

    Property tax is a tax levied on the ownership of certain properties, such as homes or boats. It is a form of taxation that is based on the assessed value of the property and is typically collected by local governments.
