8 0

Answer:

8.00%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Selling price of the bond i.e current value = $270

Future value = $1,850

Maturity time, t = 25 years

Now,

Effective yield to maturity, r = (\frac{\text{Future value}}{\text{Current value}})^{\frac{1}{t}}-1

on substituting the respective values, we get

Effective yield to maturity, r = (\frac{\$1,850}{\$270})^{\frac{1}{25}}-1

or

Effective yield to maturity, r = 1.0800 - 1

or

Effective yield to maturity = 0.0800

or

= 0.0800 × 100% = 8.00%

If a bank that desires to hold no excess reserves and has just enough reserves to meet the required reserve ratio of 10 percent
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

 c. $360 increase in excess reserves and a $40 increase in required reserves

Explanation:

Required reserves is the amount of reserves that is required by the Central bank that banks should keep.

Required reserve = reserve ratio × deposit

= 0.1 × $400 = $40

Excess reserve is the amount of reserves kept in excess of the required reserves.

Excess reserve = Deposit - Required reserve = $400 - $40 = $360

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

a. Maximin =  19.0

b. Minimax  = 17.6

c. Hurwicz ( 0.40)  = Taiwan

d. Equal likelihood = Taiwan

Explanation:

Remember, we are told to: Note that since the payoff is cost, the maximax criteria becomes minimax and maximin becomes minimax

a) Maximin: Since the payoff is cost, we begin by determining the maximum cost for each alternative and then selecting the one which gives the minimum of these maximums. (minimax)

b) Minimax: Since the payoff is cost, we begin by determining the minimum cost for each alternative and then selecting the one which gives the maximum of these minimums. (maximin).

c) Hurwicz (0.40): In this method, we add and multiply each payoff value by alpha (0.4).

South Korea = 15.2 (0.4) + 21.7 (0.6) = 19.1 ( remember, in $ millions)

China = 17.6 (0.4) + 19.0 (0.6) = 18.44

Taiwan = 14.9 (0.4) + 19.2 (0.6) = 17.48

Poland = 13.8 (0.4) + 22.5 (0.6) = 19.02

Mexico = 12.5 (0.4) + 25.0 (0.6) = 20

From the values above we select the minimum outcome since the company is looking at saving cost. Which is Taiwan; having the lowest cost of $17.48 million.

d) Using the formula \frac{P_{1} +P_{2}+P_{3}...P_{n}   }{n} where P = payoffs value, n = number of events.

South Korea =  15.2 + 21.7 + 19.1 /3 = 18.66

China = 17.6 + 19.0 + 18.5 /3 = 18.36

Taiwan = 14.9 + 19.2 +17.1 /3 = 17.06

Poland = 13.8 + 22.5 + 16.8 /3 = 17.7

Mexico = 12.5 + 25.0 + 21.2 /3 = 19.56

Taiwan should be selected since it has the lowest cost of $17.06 million.

Suppose that the United States fixes the dollar-pound exchange rate. In the process of maintaining the fixed exchange rate, if t
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

the fixed dollar-pound exchange rate is consistently below the equilibrium exchange rate that would be produced by a private foreign exchange market.

Explanation:

Fixing an exchange rate means that the government is trying to intervene in valuation of its currency. It is fixing it's currencie's rate to another and using reserves to handle fluctuations in market price.

When the fixed rate is below equillibrum there is surplus of the countrie's currency at the fixed rate. The government will buy this surplus (if not the value will fall) by selling their foreign currency reserves. This is done to maintain the fixed exchange rate.

Reduced reserves of pounds noticed by the Central bank is as a result of fixed price below equilibrium.
