Answer:

The correct answer is option a and c.

Explanation:

The fed cannot control the money supply up to a great extent in the real world. This is because the feds can control the amount of required reserves that a commercial bank holds. But they cannot control the amount of excess reserves that a bank decides to hold which affects the money supply.

At the same time, the feds cannot control the amount of money that the households decide to hold as currency which also affects the money supply.

The amount of excess reserves a bank decides to hold affects the deposit-reserve ratio. While the amount of money that households decide to hold affects the currency deposit ratio. Both of these ratios affect the money supply.

Vaselesa [24]

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

a) 51% of users of mobile phones use their phone at least once per hour,

It is a binomial distribution with n = 150, p = 0.51

mean = np = 150 multiply with 0.51 = 76.5

SD= sqrt(np(1-p) )= 6.1225

Since np and n(1-p) > 5, we can assume the distribution is normal.

B) please see the attached file.

c) It is a binomial distribution with n = 150, p = 0.02

mean = np = 150*0.02 = 3

SD= sqrt(np(1-p) )= 1.71464

Since np < 5, we cannot assume the distribution is normal.

You’ve recently learned that the company where you work is being sold for $300,000. The company’s income statement indicates cur

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Present value of the company, PV = $300,000

Current Profits, π₀ = $11,000

Interest rate, i = 9% = 0.09

Now,

we know,

$PV = \pi_0(\frac{1+i}{1-g})$

here,

g is the growth rate

on rearranging, we get

g = $i - \frac{(1+i)\pi_0}{PV}$

on substituting the respective values, we get

g = $0.09 - \frac{(1+0.09)\times11,000}{300,000}$

g = 0.05

g = 0.05 × 100%

= 5%

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

B) 8 percent.

Explanation:

The yield to maturity is the expected rate of return of a bonds if held until maturity.

We are asked precisely for what rate are we receiving if held at maturity so we receive the yield to maturity.

That is a rate at which the discounted coupon payment and maturity payment matches the price we urchase the bonds.
