Options:

a. being a lender of last resort

b. being concerned with the stability of the banking system

c. serving as a major bank for the central government

d. setting currency exchange rates

Answer:

D) setting currency exchange rates

Explanation:

The US currently uses a floating exchange rate, which means that the value of the US dollar depends on the supply and demand of the US dollar and not any decision taken by some government entity (including the Fed).

The Fed's four main responsibilities are:

  1. control of the money supply and credit supply
  2. regulation and supervision of financial institutions
  3. serve as a banking and fiscal agent for the US government
  4. supply payment services through depository institutions

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

A. Opportunity cost

Explanation:

In Economics, Opportunity cost also known as the alternative forgone, can be defined as the value, profit or benefits given up by an individual or organization in order to choose or acquire something deemed significant at the time.

Simply stated, it is the cost of not enjoying the benefits, profits or value associated with the alternative forgone or best alternative choice available.

Hence, the opportunity cost of a choice is the benefits that could be derived in from another choice using the same amount of resources.

For instance, if you decide to invest resources such as money in a food business (restaurant), your opportunity cost would be the profits you could have earned if you had invest the same amount of resources in a salon business or any other business as the case may be.

In this scenario, you choose to complete your homework rather than watch television so that you can earn a good grade. Therefore, you made the choice with the lowest opportunity cost.

The Goodsmith Charitable Foundation, which is tax-exempt, issued debt last year at 8 percent to help finance a new playground fa
NeTakaya

Answer:

10%

Explanation:

Given that,

Interest at last year debt = 8%

Current year cost of debt = 25% higher

Firms paid for debt last year = 10%

Firms paid for debt in current year = 12.50%

Kd - cost of debt

Yield = Interest at last year debt × (1 + increase in cost of debt)

         = 8% × (1 + 0.25)

         = 8% × 1.25

         = 10%

Kd = Yield (1 – T)

Kd = 10% (1 – 0)

     = 10% (1)

     = 10%

Therefore, after tax cost of debt would be 10%.
