Answer:

4.93%

Explanation:

We use the Rate formula shown in the spreadsheet for this question

The time period is represented in the NPER.

Provided that,  

Present value = $1,000 × 105% = $1,050

Assuming figure - Future value or Face value = $1,000  

PMT = 1,000 × 5.3% ÷ 2 = $26.5

NPER = 25 years - 2 years = 23 years × 2 = 46 years

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after solving this, the yield to maturity is 4.93%

What are the cons of using new residential sales/new home sales as a economic indicator?
rodikova [14]

Answer:

New home sales and existing home sales are released each month at about the same time. Many comparisons are made between the two series, but before doing any comparisons, one must be aware of some definition differences that affect the timing of the statistics.

The Census Bureau collects new home sales based upon the following definition: "A sale of the new house occurs with the signing of a sales contract or the acceptance of a deposit." The house can be in any stage of construction: not yet started, under construction, or already completed. Typically about 25% of the houses are sold at the time of completion. The remaining 75% are evenly split between those not yet started and those under construction.

Existing home sales data are provided by the National Association of Realtors®. According to them, "the majority of transactions are reported when the sales contract is closed." Most transactions usually involve a mortgage which takes 30-60 days to close. Therefore an existing home sale (closing) most likely involves a sales contract that was signed a month or two prior.

Given the difference in definition, new home sales usually lead existing home sales regarding changes in the residential sales market by a month or two. For example, an existing home sale in January, was probably signed 30 to 45 days earlier which would have been in November or December. This is based on the usual time it takes to obtain and close a mortgage.

Effective with January 2005, the National Association of Realtors created a new monthly series to overcome the lagging effect of the existing home sales definition. This new series is called Pending Home Sales and is based on sales of existing homes where the contract has been signed but the transaction has not been closed, making it roughly equivalent to the new home sales definition. Monthly estimates are expressed as an index where the year 2001 has been set to equal 100.0.

Annette [7]

Answer:

The answer is NO.

Explanation:

The answer is NO since the tax cut does not equate or rather would not be an effective stimulus due to the fact that debt reduction would not stimulate or increase consumption.

To properly understand the narrative of the question and the answer herein, let us define what effective stimulus is.

Effective stimulus or as preferably known as An economic stimulus is the utilization of funds or design of that helps agitate growth during downtime or recession in a country. The decision makers of a country mostly utilize the tactics of giving rebates and  increasing government expenses to name a few.

Now relating it back to the question, since the intention of the rebate is to ease payment on tax does not equate to increase in consumption, the answer is a NO.

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

absolute addresses change depending on the cells you copy them to.

relative addresses do not change if you copy them to a different cell.

Explanation:

A cell reference is a single cell or range of cells on a Excel worksheet. When calculations are done, these cells can be referred to. The cells are referred to using their row value and column value.

Relative references (or addresses) changes based on the position of rows and columns when a formula is copied to a different cell.
