Question #9

 

Some people complain that questions don’t reflect real life, so let’s try to remedy that.

 

If 2 Republican Presidents quadruple the 1 trillion dollar debt in 12 years, send 2 million jobs overseas and put 500,000 homeless people onto the street, how much would a new Republican President do in four years if he does everything at the same rate?

 

8 million jobs lost, 1.33 trillion dollars in extra debt and 125,000 new homeless people.

666,667 jobs sent overseas, 166,667 additional homeless people and 1 trillion dollars in additional debt.

Two-thirds of a million jobs sent overseas, 166,667 new homeless people and 1.33 trillion dollars in additional debt.

16 trillion dollars in additional debt, 2 million jobs overseas and 125,000 additional homeless people.

666,667 jobs sent overseas, 125,000 new homeless people and 1.33 trillion dollars in additional debt.

None of the above.

Question 11

 

In the future, a house sells and settlement will be on February 25th, in the year 2100.  On January 1, 2100, the seller paid $33,600.00 in taxes for the entire year (don’t forget 100 years of inflation).  Using the actual correct number of days in a month, and assuming the monthly taxes are paid in equal amounts, how much would the buyer reimburse the seller at settlement?

 

$5,213.79          $5,300          $28,289.66          $28,300          $28,466.67          $33,600
