Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

The discount rate is the interest rates on loans that the Federal Reserves makes banks. Banks occasionally borrow from the Federal Reserve when they find themselves short on reserves. A higher discount rate decreases banks' incentives to borrow reserves from the Federal Reserve, thereby reducing the quantity of reserves in the banking system and causing the money supply to fall

The federal funds rate is the interest rate that banks charge one another for short term loans. When the Federal Reserve uses open-market operations to buy government bonds, the quantity of reserves in the banking system increases, banks' demand for borrowed reserves declines , and the federal funds rate decreases.

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

annual payment = $2,362.88

Explanation:

we must first calculate the future value of the loan at the end of year 4 = $6,226 x (1 + 11%)⁴ = $9,451.51

using the present value of an annuity formula we can determine the annual payment:

annual payment = present value of an annuity / PV annuity factor

  • present value of an annuity = $9,451.51
  • PV annuity factor 11%, 4 periods = 3.1024

annual payment = $9,451.51 / 3.1024 = $2,362.88
