Answer:

(d) $200 million.

Explanation:

For computing the increase in nominal GDP first we have to determine the net tax which is equal to

= 0.90 ×$200 million

= $180 million

So, the net increase in government spending is

= $200 million - $180 million

= $20 million

And, we know that

Multiplier = 1 ÷ (1 - MPC)

= 1 ÷ (1 - 0.9)

= 1 ÷ 0.1

= 10      

So, the increase in nominal GDP is

= $20 million × 10

= $200 million

"The spot price of the market index is $900. A 3-month forward contract on this index is priced at $930. What is the profit or l
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

$10 profit

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the profit or loss to a short position.

Firstly, we identify that the spot price of market index is $900.

Now, a three months forward contract equals a value of $930.

Raising the index to $920 at the expiry date is obviously a profit to the short position.

To calculate the profit here, we simply subtract the index at expiry date from the three months forward contract.

Mathematically, this is equal to $930-$920 = $10 profit

A 10-year semi-annual coupon bond with an $1000 par value pays an annual coupon rate of 6% and the market requires 8% APR. What
arlik [135]

Answer:

Coupon= $30 per period.

20 period for semi annual coupon payment.

28.148% discount rate

Explanation:

1.) Coupon rate * face value of bond = coupon

semi annual rate =6%/2=3%

Coupon= 1000 *3%= $30 per period.

2.) t= number of periods = years of maturity * coupon payment semi-annual

t= 10 * 2 = 20 periods.

3. Discount rate formula =C+[(F-P)/t] / (F+P/2)

where C=coupon payment annual

F= face value of security

P=price of security= 1000 *8%=80

t= years of maturity.

so we have⇒ 60+[(1000-80)/10]/(1000+80)/2

=152/540

=28.148%

andre [41]

Answer:

The growth of the real GDP per capita was 7.18%

Explanation:

It is important to establish that:

Future Value = Present Value × ((1 + r)^t), given that <em>r</em> is the <em>interest rate</em> and <em>t</em> is the <em>time period</em>  

Real GDP per worker increased from $40,000 to $320,000 in 30 years    

Therefore, we have;

320000 = 40000*(1+r)^30    

(1 + r)^30 = 8    

1 + r = 8^1/30    

1 + r = 1.0718    

r = 0.0718 = 7.18%
