Answer:
b) surplus; shortage; up; fall
Explanation:
If the bond market and money market start out at equillibrum, and money supply is increased there will be an excess (surplus) of money over bonds.
That is more money to buy less bonds. The relative scarcity of bonds will result in a shortage (bond supply cannot meet demand).
As a result of the shortage price of bonds will increase because more people are looking for the scarce bonds.
Price of bonds has an inverse relationship with interest. As price increases interest rates will fall.
For example consider a zero coupon bond of $1,000, being sold for low price of $850. On maturity it will yield gain of $150.
If the price rises to $950 the yield will only be $50.
So as price increases and interest (yield) decreases, it will no more be attractive to investors and demand will reduce to meet the available supply of bonds.
Answer:
b. False
Explanation:
Firms are not in competition with many other firms in every market structure. Some market structures such as monopolies or oligopolies feature either one single firm, or only a few firms, that frequently collude instead of competing.
Not all firms leave the market as soon as they lose profits. Some do, but others stay. A monopoly can survive decades without increasing its profits.
Not all firms will try to maximize profits, some will try to maximize market share instead, especially in perfectly-competitive market structures.
Not all firms face a horizontal demand curve. In some market structures, demand can be very dynamic, either sloping upwards (increasing) or downwards (decreasing).
Answer:
$55.134
Explanation:
Given
dividend paid on its stock = $8.25
Duration is next 13 years
P0 = dividend on its stock × (PVIFA of return on this stock,years)
Remember PVIF = (1 - (1 + r)^-n)/r
Where PVIFA = present value interest factor of annuity
r = interest rate per period
n = number of periods
Therefore
P0 = $8.25 × (PVIFA11.2%,13)
P0 = $55.134
If his starting balance is the $225.91
then his balance would be
-131.71
To determine the increase in the amount of money in the economy brought about the $600 taken out of the piggy bank, we multiply $600 by the decimal equivalent of the percentage given. That is,
($600) x (0.02) = $12
Hence, your $600 will increase the amount of money in the economy by $12.
