Answer:
Reinvestment risk
Explanation:
The mortgage banker would be most concerned about reinvestment risk, among other risks. Reinvestment risk relates to the inability to earn an original interest rate on an investment from periodic cash flows from the investment, thus limiting the overall rate of return on the investment.
In the question, since market mortgage rate has declined to 7.5%, the mortgage bank would have to reinvest the amount repaid from the original borrower at the new market rate, which is 1% lower than the ruling rate when the original borrower took the loan.
The problem would be compounded if the cost of funding to the mortgage bank was, for instance 8%. If that was the case, on the original loan, the mortgage bank was earning a (8.5% less 8% cost of funding =) 0.5% on the loan. However, due to the decline in market rates, the mortgage bank would have a cost of 8% compare to a market rate of 7.5% it would earn, thus resulting in a negative return of 0.5%.
Answer:
sale of a new share of stock to an individual investor
Explanation:
Securities are created in the primary market. With an IPO which stands for initial public offering, new stocks are sold to the public by companies on a first time basis.
The sale of a new share of stock in the question is an example of a primary market transaction.
Answer:
2.2
Explanation:
The formula for calculating price elasticity using the midpoint method is:
midpoint method = {(Q2 - Q1) / [(Q2 + Q1) / 2]} / {(P2 - P1) / [(P2 + P1) / 2]}
midpoint method = {(150 - 100) / [(150 + 100) / 2]} / {(1.20 - 1) / [(1.20 + 1) / 2]}
midpoint method = [50 / (250 / 2)] / [0.20 / (2.20 / 2)] = (50 / 125) / (0.20 / 1.1)
midpoint method = 0.4 / 0.19 = 2.2
The advantage of using the midpoint method to calculate price elasticity is that we can calculate the price elasticity between two points, and it doesn't matter if the price increases or decreases.
If we calculate price elasticity using the single point formula:
price elasticity = % change in quantity supplied / % change in price = 50% / 20% = 2.5
