Increasing the reserve requirement is a powerful ANTI INFLATION weapon that reduces the overall supply of money.
In order to reduce the amount of money in an economy, the federal reserve can increase the reserve requirements of the commercial banks in the economy. This will reduce the amount of money that the banks can give out as loan and this will work to prevent inflation.
Answer:
$10,950 Unfavorable
Explanation:
For computation of flexible budget variance for total costs first we need to find out the standard cost which is shown below:-
Standard cost = (Sold connectors × budgeted variable costs) + Fixed costs per month
= (77 × $150) + $5,500
= $11,550 + $5,500
= $17,050
Flexible budget variance for total costs = Actual cost - Standard cost
= $28,000 - $17,050
= $10,950 Unfavorable
Answer:
Arithmetic = 3%
Geometric = 2.37%
Explanation:
The arithmetic average of 'n' returns is given by:
For five returns of 5% ,21%, -12%, 7%, and -6%:
The geometric average of 'n' returns is given by:
![G=\sqrt[n]{(1+r_1)*(1+r_2)*...*(1+r_n)}-1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=G%3D%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7B%281%2Br_1%29%2A%281%2Br_2%29%2A...%2A%281%2Br_n%29%7D-1)
For five returns of 5% ,21%, -12%, 7%, and -6%:
![G=\sqrt[5]{(1+0.05)*(1+0.21)*(1-0.12)*(1+0.07)*(1-0.06)}-1\\G=0.0237=2.37\%](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=G%3D%5Csqrt%5B5%5D%7B%281%2B0.05%29%2A%281%2B0.21%29%2A%281-0.12%29%2A%281%2B0.07%29%2A%281-0.06%29%7D-1%5C%5CG%3D0.0237%3D2.37%5C%25)
Answer: B. The capital gains yield is positive.
Explanation:
The Capital Gains Yield is a percentage figure that tells how much an investment has increased in price from it's acquisition.
It works by taking the new value and dividing it by the original value.
Using Stacy as an example, the Stock increased by $4 so assuming she bought the stock for even $0.1 then her Capital Yield is,
= 4/0.1
= 40 * 100%
= 4000% which is positive
As long as the stock was sold for more than it was bought, Capital Yield Gain is positive.
