Imagining a family whose income is $100,000 per year with a burden of repaying student loans, I think it will make perfect sense if the payer defaults. The priorities in a family set up should be listed in an order of necessity and importance, and before one gets to repaying loans, he has to sort expenses like rent and food as well as clothing. Other necessities in this list will include budgeting for gas fuel and other facilitation costs. If the income is not enough to cover for these expenses, then it is perfectly okay for the loanee ...

Richards (2013, p. 1) first sets out to define the terms to gain a better understanding of the concepts. “Debt” is defined as “borrowing money from an external source with the promise to return the principal, in addition to an agreed upon rate of interest.” Though the terms here are often understood in the negative light, startups, or small companies just beginning to operate, often use debt financing to fund their operations.

Introduction

Retinopathy is a frequent complication of diabetes mellitus especially when blood sugar is poorly controlled. The retina is the part of the eye that transforms light into signals transmitted to the brain through the optic nerve (NHS UK 2013). The brain interprets the electrical signals into images corresponding to what was seen. While sufficient blood supply is needed for the retina to function optimally, chronic hyperglycaemia causes ischemia and bleeding in the retinal microvasculature leading to the formation of new capillaries meant to sustain blood circulation in the retina (Vithian & Hurel 2010). However, the new capillaries are fragile and prone ...

Similarly, when an individual borrows money, they pay interest to the lender as a percentage of the total money they owe the lender. The percentage of the principal amount paid as a fee over a given period is the interest rate. Interest rates are macroeconomic variables ...

Regulations aimed at ensuring Americans access clean water are not effective. In the U.S.A, regulations governing access to clean water are administered by two bodies; EPA and FDA. Bottled water is regulated by FDA. This is because bottled water is classified as food. The classification of bottled water as food does not make sense. Food is anything that is edible to human beings and has nutrients. In that context, bottled water may not qualify to be classified as food. Furthermore, the jurisdictions given to the FDA and the EPA are not complementary hence resulting in inefficient administration and regulation ...
