Answer:
2.58%
Explanation:
Mathematically, the relationship between the different interest rates using the equation is shown below:
(1+S2)^2=(1+S1)^1*(1+2y1y)
The spot rate in year 2 is the same as the spot rate in year 1 multiplied by the 1-year forward rate beginning in year 2.
S2=2-year rate =2.34%
S1=1-year rate =2.10%
2y1y=one-year interest rate 2 years from now=the unknown
(1+2.34%)^2=(1+2.10%)^1*(1+2y1y)
(1+2y1y)=(1+2.34%)^2/(1+2.10%)^1
2y1y)=(((1+2.34%)^2/(1+2.10%)^1)-1
2y1y=1.025805642-1
2y1y= 2.58%
The formula shows that borrowing or lending for 2 years at 2.34% is the same as borrowing or lending at 2.10% in year and 2.58% forward rate in year 2
Answer:
Explanation:
Once out of Ginny sight, Alex faces a dilemma: Work very hard (put in all effort) or shirk (put in little effort). If he works hard, he'll sell enough water to generate $90 in earnings (not including his personal cost). If he shirks, he'll only generate $50 in earnings. After the end of the work, he'll split his earnings with Ginny and also get half of what she earns at her stand. In terms of Eric's total utility, it is worse for him to work hard. Close A If Alex works hard, Alex and Sunita together earn $270 ($180 + $90), of which Eric keeps $120. However, he loses $20 worth of utility by working hard. Therefore his net earnings is $100. If he shirks, Eric and Ginny together earn $270 ($200+ $70), of which Eric will keeps $120, while his personal cost is zero. Therefore Alex, individually, is better off when he shirks. A more better way of finding the solution to the problem is to note that from Eric's view, the amount of money he gets from Ginny's sales from the stand does not rely on his own sales.
Answer:
15.6%
Explanation:
Investment = $3200
Net savings = $500
Investment returns in % = Net savings/Investment × 100
= 500/3200 × 100
= 0.15625 × 100
= 15.6%
