Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

When the government buys from the public it will pay them back. So the purchase of $100 million of bonds by the government means $100 million was paid to the public.  

Also, if the reserve requirement is lowered, it means the commercial banks can increase lending.  

Both these actions combined will lead to an increase in the money supply.

Kipish [7]

Answer:

The invoice price for the bond is $1,060.38

Explanation:

Given the following:

PV= Par value = $1,000 ,

CV= Clean Price = $1,049

Coupon Rate per annum = 6.83%

To calculate the Semiannual Coupon Rate= Coupon Rate per annum/2= 3.415%

To calculate Semiannual Coupon= Semiannual Coupon Rate*PV

= 3.415% * $1,000  = $34.15

With an interest accured over 2 months, we calculate it thus:

Accrued Interest = $34.15 * 2/6 = $11.38

To calculate Invoice price:

Invoice Price = CP + Accrued Interest

Invoice Price = $1,049.00 + $11.38

Invoice Price = $1,060.38

rewona [7]

Firm I should  begin distribution on its own in order to prevent loss and

liquidation of the company.

It is best for the company to become vertically integrated in instances such

as this. Vertical integration involves companies controlling more than one

stage of production.

By so doing, the company can restrategize and ensure its products satisfy

the customers through the adoption of the technology they are complaining

about. This helps to ensure increased profit made from the goods.
