Answer:
Between quarter 7 and 8
Explanation:
To calculate the recession lets consider the quarter 7 and 8.
GDP in quarter 7 =$4499 Billion
GDP in quarter 8 =$4409 Billion
Growth rate of GDP in these two quarters= 4409-4499/4499*100
= -2 percent
Recession happens when the GDP decreases
Answer:
$16,875
Explanation:
The amount received per year is $15,000 and the CPI increased from 144 to 162
Inflation rate = (New CPI - Old CPI)/Old CPI * 100
Inflation rate = 162-144/144 * 100
Inflation rate = 0.125
Inflation rate = 12.5%
Amount received = $15,000 * 12.5% = $1,875
==> $15,000 + $1,875 = $16,875
So, Grandmother will receive $16,875
Answer:
Neither
Explanation:
The internal rate of return is a capital budgeting method that is used to determine the profitability of a project.
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
The decision rule when using the internal rate of return is to undertake the project if the internal rate of return is greater than the required return of the project. If this is not met, the project should be rejected.
If choosing between multiple projects, the decision rule is to choose the projects with the highest internal rate of return. This is because that project would be the most profitable.
Neither of the project should be selected because the IRR of both projects is less than their required returns
Answer:
Explanation:
First, convert the basis points to a percentage or decimal;
1 basis point = 0.01% or 0.0001 as a decimal
Then 443 basis points as a decimal will be;
443 *0.0001 = 0.0443 or 4.43% as a percentage
Next, since the BB bond is 4.43% above the U.S. Treasury yield of 2.76%, find the Yield to maturity(YTM) by adding the 4.43% to the 2.76%;
YTM = 2.76% + 4.43%
YTM = 7.19%
