Answer:

7.4%

Explanation:

We are looking for the rate of a 2 year security beginning four years from now. denoted with f4,2.

Using the forward rate model.

1 + S(^{j+k}) = (1+Sj) ^^{j} x (1+f(j,k) ^k

where

j; starting date of the loan = 4 years

k; duration of the loan = 2 years

S; given spot rates = four year treasury (S4) 6.5%, six year treasury yield = 68%.

f(j,k); a k duration loan, starting j period from now. (f4,2)

(1 + S6) ^ 6 = (1 + S4)^4 x (1 + f4,2) ^ 2

(1.068)^6 = (1.065)^4 x (1 + f4,2) ^ 2

\frac{1.068^6}{1.065^4} = (1 + f4,2)^2

1.1535 = (1 +f4,2)^2

f4,2 = \sqrt{1.1535} -1

f,2 = 7.4%

Answer:

Options 1 - 4 are True but 5 is FALSE

Explanation:

All options given are indicators of economic growth and strong economic performance

When considering the economic prospects of a country, it can be said that: 1. the advantages of building brand loyalty and gaining experience in a country's business practices is greater for a last-mover than for a first-mover <em>because the last-mover has the chance to learn from the mistakes of the first-mover and perfect on them</em>

2. countries which do not have property rights protection tend to achieve greater economic growth rates because<em> </em><em><u>prosperity and property rights are inextricably linked</u></em><em>. The importance of having well-defined and strongly protected property rights is now widely recognized among economists and policymakers</em>

3. the economic system and property rights regime are reasonably good predictors of economic prospects of a country because <em>widely accepted explanation is that </em><u><em>well-enforced property rights provide incentives for individuals to participate in economic activities, such as investment</em></u><em>, innovation and trade, which lead to a more efficient market.</em>

4. countries where property rights are not well respected and where corruption is rampant always have very low levels of economic growth because as stated in 3 above <u><em>ill-enforced property rights does not provide incentives for individuals to participate in economic activities, such as investment</em></u><em>, innovation and trade, which lead to a more efficient market.</em>

5.countries with command economies tend to achieve greater economic growth rates than free market economies.

<em>This is FALSE because one of the Command economy disadvantages include lack of competition and lack of efficiency. </em>
