Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

a. 3.56%

b. 2.31%

Explanation:

In this question, we use the Rate formula which is shown in the spreadsheet.  

The NPER represents the time period.

Given that,  

Present value = $1,040

Assuming figure - Future value or Face value = $1,000  

PMT = 1,000 × 4% ÷ 2 = $20

NPER = 11 years × 2 = 22 years

The formula is shown below:

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)

The present value come in negative

So, after solving this,

1. The pretax cost of debt is = 2 × 1.78% = 3.56%

2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be

= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)

= 3.56% × ( 1 - 0.35)

= 2.31%

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Option (D) is correct.

Explanation:

If banks kept 100 percent of deposits on hand as reserves, then this will indicate that all the deposited amount would be saved as reserves. Therefore, the reserve requirement ratio is 100% here which means that:

Reserve ratio = 100%

                      = 100 ÷ 100

                      = 1

and the money multiplier = 1 ÷ reserve requirement ratio

                                          = 1 ÷ 1

                                          = 1

Banks would not be able create new money by giving loans because the reserve requirement ratio is 100%.
