Answer:
C. the Phillips curve is vertical
Explanation:
Philips Curve shows the inverse relationship between inflation rate & unemployment level. High inflation rate implies low unemployment rate; and low inflation rate implies high inflation rates. Economic growth (output rise) leads to inflation & reduces unemployment ; Economic slowdown (output fall) leads to deflation & increases unemployment.
However; In long run, real GDP (output level) returns to its potential level. So; output level defining the inverse relationship (trade off) between inflation rate & unemployment level, is stable. Hence, inflation rate & unemployment level have no inverse (trade off) relationship & they are unrelated. Therefore, the long run Phillips curve is vertical.
Answer:
The loss of the financial institution is $413,000
Explanation:
Let's say that after 3 years the financial institution will receive:
0.5 * 10% of $10million
= 0.5 * 0.1 * 10000000
= $500,000
Then, they will pay 0.5 * 9% of $10M
= 0.5 * 0.09 * 10000000
= $450,000
Therefore, their immediate loss would be $500000 - $450000
= $50000.
Let's assume that forward rates are realized to value the rest of the swap.
The forward rates = 8% per annum.
Therefore, the remaining cash flows are assumed that floating payment is
0.5*0.08*10000000 =
$400,000
Received net payment would be:
500,000-400,000= $100,000. The total cost of default is therefore the cost of foregoing the following cash flows:
Year 3=$50,000
Year 3.5=$100,000
Year 4 = $100,000
Year 4.5= $100,000
Year 5 = $100,000
Discounting these cash flows to year 3 at 4% per six months, the cost of default would be $413,000
JOBS ARE THE SOURCE OF INCOME
Answer:
I agree with the owner of the company
Explanation:
The overall losses are $40,000 per month and the fixed costs are $30,000 per month.
The company should stop production because the losses are over fixed cost and this tells us that the company is not even able to recover the variable costs and because the variable costs are not at least recovered, there would be no point for the company to continue in the business as it would keep on making a loss and the logic might be wrong regarding sunk costs but the decision must be taken in favour where production should be stopped.
