Explanation:
The liquidity trap is a situation described in the Keynesian economy according to which, liquidity injections into the private banking system by the central bank do not lower interest rates or inject money into the economy and therefore do not stimulate economic growth as claimed by monetarism.
The liquidity trap occurs when people accumulate cash because they expect an adverse event, such as deflation, reduction in aggregate demand and GDP, an increase in the unemployment rate or a war. People are not buying, companies are not borrowing and banks are not lending either because they do not have enough solvency since the economic outlook is uncertain and investors do not invest because the expected returns on investments are low.
The most common characteristics of a liquidity trap are interest rates close to zero and fluctuations in the monetary base that do not translate into fluctuations in general price levels.

Answer:
Holding period return = 14.49%, Standard Deviation = 11.08 approx
Explanation:
Eco Scenario Dividend Stock Price HPR Prob Expected HPR
Boom 3 60 26 0.33 8.58
Normal 1.2 58 18.4 0.33 6.072
Recession 0.75 49 (0.5) 0.33 <u> (0.165)</u>
Expected HPR 14.49%
<u>Calculation Of Standard Deviation</u>
(A) (B) (A) - (B)
Given return Exp return d p 
60 50 3 26 14.49 11.51 0.33 43.718
58 50 1.2 18.4 14.49 3.91 0.33 5.045
49 50 0.75 (0.5) 14.49 14.99 0.33 <u> 74.15</u>
Total = 122.91
wherein, d = deviation
p = probability
Standard Deviation = 
= 
= 11.08
<u></u>
<u>Working Note</u>:
Holding period return = 
Boom = 
= 26%
Similarly, for normal = 
= 18.4%
Recession = 
= (0.5)%
figure in bracket indicates negative return
Answer: $101,250
Explanation:
Given that,
Expects to purchase material in July = $90,000
Expects to purchase material in August = $105,000
August's cash disbursements for materials purchases:
= 75% of August purchases + 1/4 of July purchases
= 0.75 × $105,000 + 0.25 × $90,000
= $78,750 + $22,500
= $101,250
