Answer: normal /upward sloping
Explanation:
The yield curve is a curve that shows the relationship that exist between interest rate and time to maturity. According to the expectation theory, it is stated that the yield curve will be upward sloping when there's increase in inflationary expectations.
The slope of the yield curve helps in giving a clue to know the direction of future interest rates. It should be noted that an upward sloping curve means that there is an expectation of higher interest rates in the future.
Therefore, when investors expect inflation to increase over the next 20 years and the maturity risk premium to increase over the next 5 years, the general yield curve will be upward sloping.

Explanation:
1. Micron's entry to record the dividend transaction is as follows:
Cash A/c Dr. $16,450
To Long - Term Investments $16,450
(In this case, since the holding interest is more than 20%, Equity method is used)

Answer: b. movement along SRAS
Explanation:
When the price level changes due to an increase in the demand that forces the Aggregate demand curve to shift rightward, the immediate effect would be that the Aggregate demand curve would intersect the Short Run Aggregate supply at a new point.
This new point will see a movement <em>along </em>the SRAS from its previous equilibrium point to the new equilibrium intersection point with the AD curve. In other words, the new point will be on the same SRAS curve just moving from one point to another.
The competitiveness of a good usually depends on two key factors: its price, and its quality. While poor quality goods are less competitive from a quality perspective but poor quality goods are usually cheaper to produce resulting to a lower final price. So overall, the lower the cost and the higher the quality the more competitive a good is.
