Which of the following concerns about the national debt are substantive? Check all that apply.

1 answer:

3 0

Answer: A. Government's borrowing to refinance the debt may lead to higher interest rates. Higher interest rates reduce investment spending, leaving future generations with a smaller stock of capital goods.

Explanation:

When the Government replaces a debt with another debt by means of Refinancing, they will probably be charged a higher interest rate because replacing debt with another debt is not generally ideal.

A higher interest rate means a higher repayment amount. Should the government keep paying higher and higher rates for debt, they'll have to reduce their spending on Investment. Investment creates Capital Goods such as machines and equipment. A reduction in Investment spending therefore reduces future generations' access to capital goods.

MrRa [10]

Answer:

11.14%

Explanation:

Blume's formula is used to combine both arithmetic and geometric returns. This is because using arithmetic growth rate exclusively would be overly optimistic for longer time horizons and on the other hand, using geometric growth rates exclusively would be overly pessimistic for short time horizons.

Using the attached formula, plug in the given numbers;

R(T) would be the sale growth rate we need to calculate.

R(T) = $\frac{5-1}{15-1} *0.09 + \frac{15-5}{15-1} *0.12$

R(T) =0.0257 + 0.0857

R(T) = 0.1114 as a decimal

Therefore, the forecast sales growth would be 11.14%

alexdok [17]

Answer:

$6.

Explanation:

Holding stock of a Public company entitles you to a potential return on your investment which can be in the form of Capital Appreciation/Gain, that is buying at low and selling at high, or Dividends received. In the given question, we are not required to calculate total return rather capital gain, simply the difference between purchase price and selling price, so there is no need to account for dividends. The formula for Capital Gain is given below:

Capital Gain / Appreciation = Selling Price - Purchase Price

⇒ Capital Gain = 38 - 32 = $6.

Number of period = 12

Interest rate = 10% = 10/100 = 0.1

Present value = ?

Computation of Present value:

$Present\ value = PMT[\frac{1-(1+r)^{-n}}{r} ]\\\\Present\ value = 3,200[\frac{1-(1+0.1)^{-12}}{0.1} ]\\\\Present\ value = 3,200[\frac{1-(1.1)^{-12}}{0.1} ]\\\\Present\ value = 3,200[\frac{1-0.318630818}{0.1} ]\\\\Present\ value = 3,200[\frac{0.681369182}{0.1} ]\\\\Present\ value = 21,803.6188$

Present value = $21,804 (approx)
