Discretionary fiscal policies are deliberate steps taken by the government to stimulate the economy in order to cause the economy to move to full employment and price stability more quickly than it might otherwise.
Discretionary fiscal policies can either be expansionary or contractionary
Expansionary fiscal policy is when the government increases the money supply in the economy either by increasing spending or cutting taxes.
Expansionary fiscal policies increases money supply which increases aggregate demand, as a result output or real GDP increases
Contractionary fiscal policies is when the government reduces the money supply in the economy either by reducing spending or increasing taxes
Answer:
14%
Explanation:
Rate of return = Coupon + (Selling price - face value) / face value
Rate of return = $98 + ($1,020 - $980) / $ 980
= 0.14
= 14%
YTM = [C + (F - P) / n] ] / [(F + P) / 2 ]
Where:
- C = Coupon
- F = Face Value
- P = Selling Price
- n = Years to Maturity.
YTM = [$98 + ($980 - $1020) / 5] ] / [($980 + $1020) / 2 ]
= 0.09
= 9%
Thus, the yearly rate of return (14%) is higher than the coupon rate (10%), and the YTM (9%).
Answer:
d. retail positioning matrix
Explanation:
In the example, it is noted that Boston Market has added value to its original restaurant format (with pickup, delivery...) on the one hand. On the other hand, they broadened the product line with the grocery foods. The two factors imply the axes of the <em>retail positioning matrix.</em>
The <em>retail life cycle</em> is an often confused topic that is similar to the <em>product life cycle</em> (which is related to products and services exclusively) conceptually. It consists of the following phases: innovation, growth, maturity and decline. Although this example can be correlated to the <em>innovation </em>phase of the retail life cycle, we cannot pinpoint the Boston Market's place on the retail life cycle curve, as we do not have info about its competitors, market share and other external info. Therefore, we cannot detect whether the company is in its up or down phase.
The <em>wheel of retailing</em> is an irrelevant concept, which refers to the tendency that most retailers enter a market in an extremely competitive manner (low cost, for example) and then becomes more exclusive (high cost, better reputation...).
If the people conducting said experiment specifically wanted to select a random group of typical people it could be considered stratified. if they specified that they wanted any group of typical people then it would be simple random. Just looking at the supplied info, i'm pretty sure it's simple random.
