Answer:

$ 15.63  

Explanation:

The present value of the 17th coupon is the semi-annual coupon discounted at the discount factor that reflect that the payment is the 17th of the 20 coupons payments payable by the bond as done below

semi annual coupon=$1000*6%*6/12=$30

The discount factor applicable is 1/(1+7.82%/2)^17=1/(1+3,91%)^17=0.520984902

The present value of the 17th coupon=coupon amount*discount factor

                                                              =$30*0.520984902 =$15.63  

The present of the 17th coupon is $ 15.63  

This is then applied in  bond duration calculation

what happens to aggregate output if both taxes and government spending are lowered by $300 billion and mpc
Papessa [141]

Answer:

The answer is:

1. consumers' expenditure increases by $150 billion

2. output will decrease by $600 billion

Explanation:

Tax impact:

$300 billion x 0.5

= $150 billion.

If taxes are lowered by $300 billion, consumers' expenditure increases by $150 billion because with lower tax, there is money money to be spent because their disposable income has increased.

Government spending impact:

$300/(1-0.5)

$300/0.5

=$600 billion.

Due to government spending that has increased by this amount, output will decrease by this amount too because government has directly competed with firms that should have used this money to increase the total output.

Therefore, net effect on total output is $300billion($600 - $300)
