Economies around the world were still recovering during 2012 after the 2008-2009 recession. Governments and central banks contin

ued their efforts to facilitate economic recovery. The U.S. Federal Reserve Bank (the Fed) kept interest rates at record lows. This, along with several other reasons, found the bond markets flooded with new bond issues. The following article highlights some reasons why firms issued debt obligations to raise funds

Answer: A, B & C

Explanation:

Bonds generate a stable and constant cashflow for the holders and are not as risky as stock because bond holders at the very least are some of the people who will get priority in any monies raised if the company goes into liquidation. Bonds are debt so their interest are paid first from company revenue regardless of if profits were made or not further reinforcing that they are better than stock in terms of risk.

As mentioned in the text, bonds had flooded the market due to the low interest rates that the Fed kept. This is indeed because in a low interest rate environment, companies can offer bonds at lower coupon rates which reduces their cost of borrowing.

When the stock market is turbulent, the Fixed Income(bonds) market are a known safe haven that investors flee to because here they can earn stable incomes with less risk and because of the increase in demand, companies offer bonds and at lower rates too due to the Law of Supply.

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

If banks hold excess reserves, then the money multiplier will be smaller.

Explanation:

It is easier to understand using an example:

required reserve rate = 5%

money multiplier = 1 / 5% = 20

if $100 are injected in to the economy and they are deposited in the banking system, the money supply will increase by $100 x 20 = $2,000. But this calculation only works if banks lend 100% of the loanable funds, but if instead banks only lend $90, instead of $95 ($100 x 95%), then the money multiplier will be 1 / 10% = 10. In this case, the money supply will only increase by half
