Answer:
Government policymakers decided to reduce the rate of inflation from 3% to 1.6%. As a result, the unemployment rate increased from 4.8% to 6.2%. The sacrifice ratio is:______
d. none of the above
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Old inflation rate = 3%
New inflation rate = 1.6%
Old unemployment rate = 4.8%
New unemployment rate = 6.2%
Ratio of old inflation rate to old unemployment rate = 3 : 4.8 = 0.625
Ratio of new inflation rate to new unemployment rate = 1.6% : 6.2% = 0.258
Sacrifice ratio = Difference between the two ratios = 0.367 (0.625 - 0.258)
b) The sacrifice ratio is the difference between the old ratio and the new ratio of inflation rate to unemployment rate.
Answer:
bond market value $660
Explanation:
We need to calculate the present value of the maturity and the cuopon payment using the effective rate of 9.7%
First we do the annuity:
C 24.25 (1,000 face value x 4.85 bond rate / 2 )
time 24.00 (12 year 2 payment a year)
rate 0.04850 (current rate divide by 2 to get it annually)
PV $339.55
Then present value of the maturity
Maturity 1,000.00 the face value of the bond
time 24.00
rate 0.04850
PV 320.89
Finally we add them together:
PV coupon payment $339.5545
PV maturity $320.8910
Total $660.4455
rounding to nearest dollar
bond market value $660
Answer:
The property will be transferred according to the Statute of Descent and Distribution.
Explanation:
Intestacy is the situation where a person dies without leaving a will for the sharing of his estate.
When this happens the descent and distribution statute comes into play.
The heirs or next of kin are beneficiaries to the estate. Heirs can be be blood relatives, adopted children, adopted parent, or surviving spouse.
The line of descent is the order of beneficiaries that are from an ancestor. The line of descent can be direct such as sons, or collateral such as cousins.
In this case where Olive Maccones dies without a will and she has three sons and seven grandchildren, her estate will be distributed by a court based on the line of descent of her sons and grandchildren.
