As a member of the Federal Reserve Board, in an inflationary situation I would suggest a change in the federal funds rate that would be accomplished by raising the base interest rate of the US economy. This would make bonds more attractive and people would stop consuming to invest in public debt securities. In addition, raising interest rates would discourage credit, causing banks to lend less. Since inflation is a monetary phenomenon caused by the excess of currency in circulation, these measures would have a downward effect on inflation, as they reduce the amount of money in circulation in the economy.

Barriers to International Trade Countries often use various government regulations to manipulate the amount of goods and service
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

1. Embargoes and sanctions

When a trade embargo or sanctions are in play, depending on the strength of the nation or International organisation that imposed it, countries are not allowed to trade with the country that is under an embargo. Sometimes the trade embargo can be on all products and sometimes just specific sectors are targeted. An example is the current United States embargo on Venezuela which targets their oil sector and as such most countries are avoiding buying Venezuelan oil.

2. Tariffs

This is a method of reducing the amount of a certain good imported from outside. Tariffs are usually introduced to protect the domestic producers and supplier in an economy and work by taxing imports or placing a customs duty on them. They are usually imposed when the imports are cheaper than domestic Production.

3. Import Quota

Another way to protect the domestic economy. In this scenario, a country allows the import of a certain good only up to an extent for a period which is usually a year. For instance, the United States in this scenario could say that in 2020 only 500 megatons of Aluminum are allowed into the country from China. After that, no more is allowed until 2021.

4. Tariff.

This is a Tariff and as earlier explained, is meant to protect the domestic producers by taxing imports that are cheaper.

5. Import Quota.

This is clearly an import Quota as earlier described because the country is limiting the amount of a certain good that can come into it.

6. Embargoes and Sanctions.

This is a clear example of an embargo. The United States is limiting the amount of goods exported to North Korea because they are under sanctions and embargoes. The United States and Western nations do not want to export anything to North Korea that could aid it's Nuclear Industry so it is a targeted embargo on their nuclear industry.

A TIPS was issued with a par value of $1000, a coupon rate of 2.5 percent, and a reference CPI of 204.89. What is the correct ca
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

$12.53

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

Par value = $1,000

Coupon rate = 2.5%

Reference CPI = 204.89

Now CPI = 205.44

By considering the above information, the correct calculation of the current interest payment is

= Par value × Current CPI ÷ Reference CPI × Coupon rate ÷ 2

= $1,000 × 205.44 ÷ 204.89 × 2.5% ÷ 2

= $12.53

We assume the interest is on semi annual payments
