Answer:
Answer is option b, i.e. purchase of natural gas by U.S. households.
Explanation:
Consumption component of U.S. GDP includes purchase of various durable goods, non-durable goods, and also various intangible services. But anything that is purchased as a means of investment rather than for personal consumption is not regarded as consumption component in GDP. Here, purchase of newly constructed houses is an asset and thus, is not included in these components. Similarly, purchase made for business purposes is also excluded from the list of consumption components.
Answer:
Explanation:
b)
BBB-rated corporate bond:
Face value = 1000
semiannual coupon = 9%/2 = 4.5%
semiannual yield = 10%/2 = 5%
number of payments = 5*2 = 10
PV of bond = PV of maturity + PV of interest
PV of maturity = Face value * PVF(5%;10) = 1000*0.614=614
PV of interest = interest *PVIFA(5%;10) = 45*7.7217= 347.4765
Price of bond = 961.4765
a)
semiannual yield = 8.4%/2 = 4.2%
US treasury security:
PV of maturity = Face value * PVF(4.2%;10) = 1000*0.66271=662.71
PV of coupon = 45*8.03074 = 361.3833
Price of bond = 1024
c) credit spread = BBB yield - risk-free yield = 10% - 8.4% = 1.6%
