An FI purchases at par value a $100,000 Treasury bond paying 10 percent interest with a 7.5 year duration. If interest rates ris

puteri [66]

Answer:

The bond's new value is $70,000

Explanation:

First calculate the percentage change in the value of the bond

Duration = Percentage change in price / Percentage change in yield

Percentage change in price = Duration x Percentage change in yield

where

Duration = 7.5 years

Percentage change in yield = 4%

Percentage change in price = ?

Placing value sin the formula

Percentage change in price = 7.5 x 4%

Percentage change in price = 0.30

Percentage change in price = 30%

As we know that the value of the bond and the yield rate are inversely proportional to each other, If the yield rate increases the value of the bond decreases due to the discounting factor used in the valuation o the bond.

Hence, the value of the bond is calculated as follow

Value of the bond = Par value of the bond x ( 1 - per centage of change in the price of the bond

Value of the bond = $100,000 x ( 1 - 30% )

Value of the bond = $100,000 x 0.70

Value of the bond = $70,000

Assume that we have the following data:

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Answer explained below

Explanation:

(1)

IS Model:

Y = C + I + G + X - M

Y = 100 + 0.5Y + 100 - 20r [G = X = M = 0]

(1 - 0.5)Y = 200 - 20r

0.5Y = 200 - 20r

Y = 400 - 40r ......(1) [IS Equation]

LM Model:

Money demand (Speculative + Transactions demand) = Money supply

100 - 10r + 0.1Y = 80

0.1Y = 10r - 20

Y = 100r - 200 .....(2) [LM Equation]

(2) When IS & LM intersect, from part (1):

400 - 40r = 100r - 200

140r = 600

r = 4.29

Y = 100r - 200 = (100 x 4.29) - 200 = 429 - 200 = 229

(3)

There will be four regions as explained below:

In region I, there is excess supply in both goods and money market, which puts downward pressure on both interest rate and output.

In region II, there is excess demand in goods market, but excess supply in money market, which puts upward pressure on output & downward pressure on interest rate.

In region III, there is excess demand in both goods and money market, which puts upward pressure on both interest rate and output.

In region IV, there is excess supply in goods market, but excess demand in money market, which puts downward pressure on output & upward pressure on interest rate.

Bailey Corporation. incurred 2,300 direct labor hours to produce 600 units of product. Each unit should take 4 direct labor hour

Harrizon [31]

Answer: C. will be favorable

Explanation:

Variable overhead efficiency variance simply means the difference between the time that it takes to manufacture a particular product and the time that was budgeted for the product.

Since the time incurred for the product was 2300 hours while the budgeted time was (600 × 4) = 2400 hours, then the variable overhead efficiency variance is favorable.

A government deficit has decreased from 100 to 60. The country's trade deficit is 120 and private savings equal 80 and investmen

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

40

Explanation:

According to Ricardian theory, any change in budgets deficits or surpluses should be completely offset by an equal change in private savings.

In this case, the original amount of private savings was 80, but since the budget deficit decreased by 40, then the private saving should also decrease by 40. The total private saving = 80 - 40 = 40
