This is True that In the United States, inflation reached double-digit rates in the 1970s and early 1980s but has since declined and recently, has been relatively mild.

<h3>What is inflation?</h3>

A general increase in the cost of goods and services is referred to as inflation. Each unit of currency may purchase fewer products and services as the general price level rises, hence inflation is associated with a decline in the purchasing power of money.

When prices for goods and services increase rapidly, there is rapid inflation, which reduces the purchasing power of savings. Oil prices, currency speculators, rapacious businesspeople, and avaricious union leaders were held responsible for The Great Inflation.

Numerous businesses were destroyed and countless people were harmed by the Great Inflation and the recession that followed.

Cause for the decline in inflation:

Reduced government spending,
Stock market declines,
Consumer desire to save more money,
Tighter monetary regulations

When the economy's output expands more quickly than the amount of available credit and money, falling prices can also occur spontaneously

A company is selling bonds with a face value of $1,000 to raise money for a plant expansion. The bonds pay a coupon rate of 4% p

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

10.26%

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

Net sales = $760

Face value of bonds = $1,000

Coupon rate = 4% = $1,000 × 4 ÷ 100

= 40

N = Number of Years = 5 annually = semiannually = 5 × 2

= 10 years

We assume, interest rate = 10% = 0.10

P = Coupon Rate ÷ 2 × (PVIFA,Interest Rate ÷ 2%,No. of Years) + Future Value(PVIF,Interest Rate ÷ 2%, No. of Years)

=$40 ÷ 2 × [1 - 1 ÷ (1 + Interest Rate)N] ÷ Interest Rate + Future Value[1 ÷ (1 + Interest Rate) × N]

=$40 ÷ 2 × [1-1 ÷ (1 + 0.10 ÷ 2)^10] ÷ 0.05 + $1,000 × [1 ÷ (1 + 0.10 ÷ 2)^10]

=$20 × [1 - 1 ÷ (1.05)^10] ÷ 0.05 + $1,000 × [1 ÷ (1.05)^10]

=$20 × [1 -1 ÷ 1.6288946] ÷ 0.05 + $1,000 × [1 ÷ 1.6288946]

= 420 × 7.72173 + $1,000 × 0.613913

= $154.4346 + $613.913

= $768.3476

= $768.35

But the given value is 760, so we assume interest rate = 11%

=$40 ÷ 2 × [1-1 ÷ (1 + Interest Rate)^N] ÷ Interest Rate + Future Value[1 ÷ (1 + Interest Rate)^N]

= $40 ÷ 2 × [1 - 1 ÷(1 + 0.11 ÷ 2)^10] ÷ 0.055 + $1,000 × [1 ÷ (1 + 0.11 ÷ 2)^10]

= $20 × [1 - 1 ÷ (1.055)^10] ÷ 0.055 + $1,000 × [1 ÷ (1.055)^10]

= $20 × [1 - 1 ÷ 1.70814446] ÷ 0.055 + $1000 × [1 ÷ 1.70814446]

= $20 × 7.5376255 + $1,000 × 0.5854306

= $150.75 + $585.43

= $736.18

At the Interest rate of 10% the price is more than $760 and at the Interest rate of 1% the price is less than $760. So the required rate lies in between 10% to 11%.

So required rate

Yield To Maturity = Lower Interest Rate + (Difference Between Interest Rate) × Higher Price - Received Price ÷ Higher Price - Lower Price

= 1 0+( 11 - 10) × $768.35 - $760 ÷ $768.35 - $736.18

= 10 + 1 × $8.35 ÷ $32.17

= 10 + 0.26

= 10.26%

If the Fed announces that it will decrease U.S. interest rates, and the European Central Bank takes no action, then the value

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

c. appreciate

Explanation:

If the Federal Reserve reduces the interest rate of the US dollar this will lead to lower cost of funds, more people will borrow money and this increases money supplied to the economy.

Excess money will pursue less goods leading to inflation where the purchasing power of the US dollar will reduce.

All things being equal the value of the euro will appreciate against the US dollar if interest rate is decreased.

As the euro strengths against the US dollar, one will need less euros to purchase the weakened dollar.
