Answer:

if the FED wants to increase interest rates, it will generally engage in a contractionary monetary policy. This means that it will decrease the money supply in the economy. A contractionary monetary policy takes place when the FED starts to sell US securities and that way it will take away money from the economy. But in order to make more people want to purchase the securities, it will generally increase the interest rates.

Interest rate= 0.03 - 0.06= -0.03

Having said this, the present value is higher than the final value:

PV= FV/ (1+i)^n

PV= 14,488/ 0.97^3= $15,874.25

In which situation would a certificate of deposit (CD) be the best banking choice

anzhelika [568]

A certificate of deposit (CD) would be the best banking choice when the interest rate is determined ahead of time and there is an assurance to get back what you put in plus interest once the CD matures. If you leave the money alone during the investment period then the bank will pay you an interest rate slightly higher than what you would have earned in a money market or checking account. Thus, all gains from certificate of deposits are taxable as income unless they are in a tax-deferred (IRA) r tax-free (Roth IRA) account.
