Ilya [14]2 years ago

Answer:

<em>In theory, both are riskless but in practicality they aren't completely risk free.</em>

Explanation:

<em>In investment theory</em>, the investment in government bonds is <em>riskless </em>, irrespective of the investment maturity period because they are backed by the government.

However, <em>in practicality</em> every investment involves risk whether it's a short term or long term. However, a short term investment like the one specified in <em>statement 2</em> involves lower time frame and thereby lower volatility, hence it implies <em>lower risk</em>. The investment specified in <em>statement 1</em> is of longer term and hence can involve higher volatility, hence it implies <em>higher risk.</em>

<em><u>Note</u></em><em>- All the governments are prone to risk practically</em> because they are also part of the global financial and economic system and hence, they have to manage their budget balances prudently. Every investment thereby involves <em>risk</em>, it's just the <em>financial backing</em> of the <em>government financial</em> <em>instruments</em> which makes them less risky as compared to the other financial instruments.

77julia77 [94]

Answer: a) an increase in the Equilibrium price of "regular" cars.

Explanation:

It is stated that the automobile companies use their inputs to make either the <em>hybrid cars</em> or the <em>regular cars</em>.

If the price of the <em>Hybrid cars</em> rises sharply, Automobile companies will make more <em>Hybrid cars</em> so as to take advantage of the situation and make more profit.

This would reduce the amount of inputs that they have available for <em>regular cars</em> and so they will make less <em>regular cars. </em>

As this supply of <em>regular cars</em> decreases,the supply curve will shift to the left and the price will increase to cater for this reduction in supply.
