Interest Rates An interest rate is the rate at which interest is paid by borrowers for the use of money that they borrow from a lender. Specifically‚ the interest rate is a percent of principal paid a certain amount of times per period.

Labor rate variance is the difference between the actual labor rate and the applied overhead rate (standard rate multiplied by the number of actual hours worked). Consider this and respond to the following: • "Our workers are all under labor contracts. Therefore‚ our labor rate variance is bound to be zero." Do you agree or disagree that the labor rate variance will be zero if all workers are under labor contracts? Explain giving reasons. The concept of labor rate variance and its application

Effects of Raising Interest Rates If a central bank increases the base rate‚ this tends to increase all major interest rates in the economy. This means interest rates for both savers and borrowers will increase. Higher interest rates will have various economic effects: 1. Increases the cost of borrowing. Interest payments on credit cards and loans will be more expensive. Therefore this discourages people from borrowing and saving. People who already have loans will have less disposable income
