Kirk wants to get an FHA loan. Which of the following is Kirk himself not likely to do during the application process?

Answer:

C. Find a lender who is willing to do FHA-loans.

Explanation:

The Federal Housing Administration loan program was instituted by the United States government to make owning homes by the citizens easier. To be qualified, an applicant's minimum credit score should be 500 with a downpayment of 3.5% with a credit score of 580 and 10% for a credit score which is between 500 to 579. He must be willing to do, mortgage insurance, and the house which he wishes to own must meet the FHA's requirements.

However, it does not depend on him to find a lender willing to do FHA loans, rather, the lender must be approved by the Federal Housing Administration.  He can only obtain his loan from an FHA-approved lending financial institution.      

The Federal Housing Administration loan program was established by the US government to make homeownership more accessible to individuals.

To be considered, an applicant's credit score must be at least 500, with a downpayment of 3.5 percent for a credit score of 580 and 10% for a credit score of 500 to 579.

He must be ready to pay for mortgage insurance, and the home he seeks to purchase must fulfill FHA guidelines.

However, finding a lender ready to offer FHA loans is not his responsibility; rather, the lender must be approved by the Federal Housing Administration. Only an FHA-approved lending financial institution can provide him with a loan.

So, Option C is correct.

The other Options are incorrect as

The lease agreement specifies annual payments of $29,000 beginning January 1, 2021, the beginning of the lease, and at each December 31 thereafter through 2028. The equipment was acquired recently by Crescent at a cost of $207,000 (its fair value) and was expected to have a useful life of 12 years with no salvage value at the end of its life.

By this arrangement, the lease is deemed to be a finance lease. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round your intermediate calculations to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

Johnstone agreed to pay Genovese $22,000 on the purchase date and the balance in five annual installments of $5,000 on each June 30 beginning June 30, 2022.

The company will accumulate the funds by making five equal annual deposits to an account paying 6% interest compounded annually. Determine the required annual deposit if the first deposit is made on December 31, 2018.

The market price of cheeseburgers in a college town decreased recently, and the students in an economics class are debating the cause of the price decrease. Some students suggest that the price decreased because the price of beef, an important ingredient for making cheeseburgers, has decreased. Other students attribute the decrease in the price of cheeseburgers to a recent increase in the price of french fries. Everyone agrees that the increase in the price of french fries was caused by a recent increase in the price of potatoes, which are not generally used in making cheeseburgers.

The second group of students attributes the decrease in the price of cheeseburgers to the decrease in the price of calzones at local pizza parlors.

Suppose that both of the events you have just analyzed are partly responsible for the decrease in the price of cheeseburgers. Based on your analsis of the explanations offered by the two groups of students, how would you figure out which of the possible causes was the dominant cause of the decrease in the price of cheeseburgers?

a. If the equilibrium quantity of cheeseburgers increases, then the demand shift in the market for cheeseburgers must have been larger than the supply shift.
b. Whichever change occurred first must have been the primary cause of the change in the price of cheeseburgers.
c. If the equilibrium quantity of cheeseburgers increases, then the supply shift in the market for cheeseburgers must have been larger than the demand shift.
d. If the price decrease was small, then the supply shift in the market for cheeseburgers must have been larger than the demand shift.

Identify which of the arguments for restricting trade that each of the following rebuttals directs against. Rebuttals The Jobs Argument The National-Security Argument The Infant-Industry Argument The Unfair-Competition Argument The Protection-as-a-Bargaining-Chip Argument (A) The gains of the consumers from buying imports at the low price subsidized by foreign governments would exceed the losses of domestic producers. (B) Companies may exaggerate the degree to which their products are essential to national defense in order to obtain protection from foreign competition at the expense of consumers. (C) The country may be forced into deciding between implementing trade restrictions as threatened, which would make the society as a whole worse off, or backing down on its own threat, which would cause it to lose credibility in foreign affairs. (D) Opening up to free trade may impose hardship on some workers in the short run, but it also creates jobs in industries in which the country has a comparative advantage and enables the country as a whole to enjoy a higher standard of living.
