Answer:

c. A new technology such as the Internet has just been introduced, and it increases investment opportunities.

Explanation:

Nominal interest rate is the sum of real interest rate and expected inflation rate.

If expected inflation rate falls, the nominal interest rate also falls.

During a recession, people are more unwilling to borrow funds ,this pushes interest rate down.

If investment opportunities increases, the demand for funds would increase and nominal interest rate would increase too.

Answer:

Jessica's for AGI deduction for these costs is:

b. $14.00.

Explanation:

The aggregate gross income (AGI) can be defined as the total amount of income that an individual earns and is used in calculating the amount of income tax that an individual is liable to pay. The AGI can be expressed as follows;

AGI=T×N×W

where;

AGI=aggregate gross income

T=toll amount per way

N=number of times she reported

W=number of way

In our case;

AGI=unknown, to be determined

T=$1.75

N=4

W=2

Replacing;

AGI=(1.75×4×2)=$14.00

Jessica's for AGI deduction for these costs is:

b. $14.00.

Both Bond Sam and Bond Dave have 7.3 percent coupons, make semiannual payments, and are priced at par value. Bond Sam has three

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

Sam change: -5.13%

Dave change -18.01%

Explanation:

If interest rate increase by 2%

then the YTM of the bond will be 9.3%

We need eto calcualte the present value of the coupon and maturity of the bond at this new rate:

For the coupon payment we use the formula for ordinary annuity

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

Coupon payment: 1,000 x 7.3% / 2 payment per year: 36.50

time 6 (3 years x 2 payment per year)

YTM seiannual: 0.0465 (9.3% annual /2 = 4.65% semiannual)

$36.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0465)^{-6} }{0.0465} = PV\\$

PV $187.3546

For the maturity we calculate usign the lump sum formula:

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity: $ 1,000.00

time: 6 payment

rate: 0.0465

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0465)^{6} } = PV$

PV 761.32

Now, we add both together:

PV coupon $187.3546 + PV maturity $761.3154 = $948.6700

now we calcualte the change in percentage:

948.67/1,000 - 1 = -0.051330026 = -5.13

For Dave we do the same:

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 36.50

time 40

rate 0.0465

$36.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0465)^{-40} }{0.0465} = PV\\$

PV $657.5166

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 1,000.00

time 40.00

rate 0.0465

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0465)^{40} } = PV$

PV 162.34

PV c $657.5166

PV m $162.3419

Total $819.8585

Change:

819.86 / 1,000 - 1 = -0.180141521 = -18.01%
