Answer:
$739.72 ≈ 739.72
Explanation:
we can use an excel spreadsheet and the present value function to calculate the expected price of each bond ⇒ =PV(rate,nper,pmt,fv,[type])
- fv = $1,000
- pmt = $1,000 x 7.25% x 1/2 = $36.25
- nper = 60
- rate = 10% / 2 = 5%
- present value = ?
=PV(5%,60,36.25,1000) = -739.72 since excel calculates the initial investment, it is always negative, so we just change the sign.
Answer:
1. In the short run, wages and other prices are stagnant making the economy to run below or above the normal level. In the long run, wages and prices are fully flexible, and this allows the economy to run at its natural level.
2. This distinction is important because it helps us to see how difficult it could be to sustain the real gross domestic product and employment rates thus making the economy to run at a normal level or achieve its full potentials.
Explanation:
Stickiness or stagnancy of wages can be seen in the fact that it is most time difficult to fluctuate or change the wages of workers overtime. The prices of most goods are also sticky when they remain unchanged over a given period of time. These conditions exist in the short run, and make the economy to run above or below its full potentials. The real GDP and unemployment levels are negatively affected.
In the long run, flexibility of wages and prices are achieved and this makes the economy to run at its full potentials. The real GDP as well as the employment rate are at their optimum level then.
Answer:
shifts in the demand curve
Explanation:
Aggregate demand is total value of goods and services demanded at a particular time in an economy. It indicate goods and services that will be bought at different prices.
The determinants of aggregate demand are factors that could cause shift in aggregate demand curve either to the left or right. A shift in aggregate demand curve to the right means an increase in quantity demand while a shift to the left means a decrease in quantity demand at every price level.
The determinants are ;
Price of the goods - An increase in price of the goods itself will bring about shift in the demand curve to the left and vice versa
Consumer expectations- When consumers expect price of goods to be high, demand curve would shift to the right and vice versa.
Price of related goods- An increase in price of related or complementary good would cause the demand to either shift to the left or right.
Income of the buyers - Increase in come of buyers would shift the demand curve to the right and vice versa.
Taste or preference of consumers- When consumer's preference shift in favour of a product, demand for such product would increase thus shifting the demand curve to the right.
