Answer:

A. Movement on the PPC

B. Rightwards / Outwards shift of PPC

C. Less Concavity of PPC

Explanation:

Production Possibility Curve is combination of two goods that an economy can produce, given resources & technology (efficient utilisation).

  • It is a downward sloping curve as more of one good can be produced by sacrifising other good, same resources & technology.
  • It is concave curve because of increasing marginal opportunity cost, i.e increasing amounts of a good to be sacrifised to gain additional amount of other good, as resources are not equally efficient in production of both goods.
  • Points on PPC reflect full utilisation, points under PPC reflect under utilisation, points above PPC are unattainable.

a) A disagreement between persons favouring more domestic welfare spending or national welfare spending : Is just an issue of reallocation of same resources, technology. So, PPC doesn't change & there can only be movement on the PPC (more of one good, less of other good)

b) An increase in population : leads to increase in human resource & hence the PPC shifts outwards / rightwards as the production potential of economy rise with more human resource.

c) Technological change that make resources less specialised : would reduce resources' efficiency gap in production of two goods. So, Marginal Opportunity cost reduces & hence the PPC becomes less concave.

Company X wants to borrow $10,000,000 floating for 5 years. Company Y wants to borrow $10,000,000 fixed for 5 years. Their exter
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The answer is:

10% fixed rate = Company X's external borrowing (rate);

11.8% fixed rate = Company Y's payment to X (rate);

LIBOR + 1.5% = Company X's payment to Y (rate);

LIBOR + 1.5% = Company Y's external borrowing rate.

Explanation:

First, X will borrow at 10% fixed and Y will borrow at LIBOR + 1.5% floating; both at notational principal of $10 million.

Then; they will enter into a interest swap where:

- X will pay to the swap the interest rate of Libor +1.5% and receive from the swap the fixed interest rate of 11.8%. Thus, X interest income and interest expenses will be: Borrowed at fixed 10% and payment at Libor+1.5% to the swap; Receipt of 11.8% from the Swap=> Net effect: X borrowed at LIBOR - 0.3% ( saving of 0.3%).

- Y will pay to the swap the fixed interest rate 11.8% and receive from the swap LIBOR +1.5%. Thus, Y interest income and interest expenses will be: Borrowed at LIBOR +1.5 and payment 11.8% fixed to the swap; Receipt of Libor + 1.5% from Bthe Swap=> Net effect: Y borrowed at 11.8% fixed ( saving of 0.2%).
