If the Fed wanted to use all four of its major monetary policy control tools to increase the money supply it would _____.

Georgia [21]

Answer:

sell bonds, increase discount rates and increase reserve requirements

Explanation:

The Federal Reserve’s three instruments of monetary policy are open market operations, the discount rate and reserve requirements ( Sometimes discount rate management is divided as discount and interest rate) .

Open market operations involve the buying and selling of government securities. The term “open market” means that the Fed doesn’t decide on its own which securities dealers it will do business with on a particular day. Rather, the choice emerges from an “open market” in which the various securities dealers that the Fed does business with – the primary dealers – compete on the basis of price. Open market operations are flexible, and thus, the most frequently used tool of monetary policy.

The discount rate is the interest rate charged by Federal Reserve Banks to depository institutions on short-term loans.

Reserve requirements are the portions of deposits that banks must maintain either in their vaults or on deposit at a Federal Reserve Bank.

alexdok [17]

Answer:

$6.

Explanation:

Holding stock of a Public company entitles you to a potential return on your investment which can be in the form of Capital Appreciation/Gain, that is buying at low and selling at high, or Dividends received. In the given question, we are not required to calculate total return rather capital gain, simply the difference between purchase price and selling price, so there is no need to account for dividends. The formula for Capital Gain is given below:

Capital Gain / Appreciation = Selling Price - Purchase Price

⇒ Capital Gain = 38 - 32 = $6.

Assume that today is December 31, 2019, and that the following information applies to Abner Airlines: After-tax operating income

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

The company's stock price today should be $71.17 per share.

Explanation:

The corporate valuation model approach can be used to estimate this by using the following steps:

Step 1: Calculation of the free cash flow

Free cash flow is the cash a firm generates after accounting for capital expenditure. This can be estimated using the following formula:

Free Cash Flow (FCF) = After-tax operating income + Depreciation expenses - Capital expenditure

For this question, we therefore have:

Free Cash Flow (FCF) = $700 + $150 - $375 = $475 million

Step 2: Calculation of Value of operations (Vo)

Vo = FCF / (WACC - FCF growth rate) = 475 / (11% - 7%) = $11,875 million

Step 3: Calculation of the Firm value

Firm value = Vo + Non-operating assets = $11,875 + $199 = $12,074 million

Step 4: Calculation of value of equity

Value of equity = Firm value - Debt = $12,074 - $3,534 = $8,540 million

Note: The correct amount of debt is $3,534 not $3.540 as mistakenly given, may be due to typographical error, in the question.

Step 5: Calculation of stock price per share today

Stock price per share = Value of equity / Number of shares outstanding = $8,540 / 120 = $71.17 per share

Therefore, the company's stock price today should be $71.17 per share.

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Proposal A: 5,455 units

Proposal B: 5,770 units

Explanation:

The break-even point is the number of units required for the revenue to equal the total costs.

For proposal A:

Fixed Costs = $60,000

Variable Costs = $13 / unit

Selling Price = $24 / unit

$(P-VC)*n-FC = 0\\(24-13)*n-60,000 = 0\\n=5,454.5\ units$

For proposal B:

Fixed Costs = $75,000

Variable Costs = $11 / unit

Selling Price = $24 / unit

$(P-VC)*n-FC = 0\\(24-11)*n-75,000 = 0\\n=5,769.2\ units$

Rounding up to the next whole unit, the break-even points for proposal A and B, respectively, are 5,455 and 5,770 units.
