For the following investments, identify whether they are: Trading debt securities. Available-for-sale debt securities. Held-to-m

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

(a) A bond that will mature in 4 years was bought 1 month ago when the price dropped. As soon as the value increases, which is expected next month, it will be sold. - Trading Debt Securities

Trading debt securities such as these are held only for a short time before they are sold with the goal being short term profit.

(b) 10% of the outstanding stock of Farm-Co was purchased. The company is planning on eventually getting a total of 30% of its outstanding stock. - None of the Above

This is an Equity Investment.

(c) Bonds were purchased in December of this year. The bonds are expected to be sold in January of next year. - Trading Debt Securities

Like the bond in (a), this is being held for a short while only and then it will be sold so it is a Trading debt security.

(d) Bonds that will mature in 5 years are purchased. The company would like to hold them until they mature, but money has been tight recently and they may need to be sold. - Available-for-sale debt securities

Available for sale debt securities are to be sold before maturity and therefore have no certain selling time. The bond above has no selling time as it might be sold at any point so it is an Available-for-sale debt security.

(e) Preferred stock was purchased for its constant dividend. The company is planning to hold the preferred stock for a long time. - None of the above.

This is an Equity investment as well.

(f) A bond that matures in 10 years was purchased. The company is investing money set aside for an expansion project planned 10 years from now. - Held-to-maturity debt securities.

Held to Maturity bonds are bought with no intention of selling and the company hopes to hold them till they mature like this bond which will be held for 10 years.

If the central bank targets a monetary aggregate, it is likely to lose control over the interest rate because A. of fluctuation

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. of fluctuations in the demand for reserves.

Explanation:

The management of the interest rate is perhaps one of the areas of economic policy that has raised the most controversy among policymakers. Much of it comes from both the interpretation of the role that the interest rate plays in macroeconomic adjustment, and the real possibility of achieving effective control over it.

Regarding the role of the interest rate, there are opposing positions about the influence that this variable may have on that of termination of savings investment. Thus, for example, from a Keynesian perspective, a weak relationship is raised between saving the interest rate, since it depends primarily on the level of income, while great importance is attached to this variable as a determinant of investment. Under this scheme, control over the interest rate can be justified since it would have the advantage of stimulating economic activity through greater investment, without significantly affecting savings levels.

Fofino [41]

If a consumer was asked to rank different combinations of goods and services terms of how much utility they provide, then a bundle with a total of 112 cds and dvds would rank higher than a bundle with a total of 10 cds and dvds, if based on total of goods only. This does not take into account the contents of the media.

shusha [124]

Answer: $1942.89

Explanation:

Since the car will cost $120,000 and it will be financed with a 84 month contract having a nominal rate of 9.20%, then the monthly payment will be:

= PMT(9.2%/12, 84, -120000)

This will be slotted into the Excel calculator and the answer gotten will be $1942.89

Therefore, the monthly payment will be $1942.89.
