Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

The nominal interest rate was 5 percent.

The CPI was 150.3 at the end of the year, and the CPI was 144.2 at the beginning of the year.

The 5% nominal interest rate means that the dollar value of savings increased at 5%.

Inflation rate

= \frac{(150.3 - 144.2)}{144.2}

= 0.0423 or 4.2%

The real interest rate

= Nominal interest rate - rate of inflation

= 5 - 4.2

= 0.8%

The real interest rate of 0.8% indicates that the purchasing power of savings increased at 0.8%.

Clem Oatley could grow wheat and barley. He could grow 75 bushels of wheat or 125 bushels of barley using the same resources on
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Clem should specialise in wheat production because he has higher profits there

Explanation:

Clem needs to make a decision on the product that will maximise his profits and not just the number of units of products he can manufacture.

If he produces only wheat he will have profit of 75 bushels * $2 = $150

If he produces only barley his profit will be 125 bushels * $0.80 = $100

This shows that wheat is more profitable for Clem. Even though he can produce more units of barley.

If you hold a $100 U.S. Treasury Bill, this means: (Select all that apply) Helpful Hint: There are 2 correct answers. The U.S. g
egoroff_w [7]

The U.S. government owes you $100.

Option 1 is correct .

Treasury Bills:

Treasury bills, or T-bills, have the shortest terms of all and are issued with maturity dates of four, eight, 13, 26, and 52 weeks.

Treasury Bill Characteristics:

Unlike Treasury bonds and notes, T-bills do not pay periodic interest payments to investors. Instead, Treasury bills are auctioned off to investors at a discount to their face value. The investor's return is the difference between the face value and the discount price paid at purchase.

How Do You Cash a Treasury Bond?

For Treasury bonds held with a bank or broker, consult the institution to redeem them.

For Treasury bonds in Treasury Direct (electronically), investors don't need to take any action since the bond will be cashed out at maturity and deposited into your account as long as you supply your bank information to Treasury Direct.

Treasury Bonds :

Treasury bonds, called T-bonds for short, are often referred to as long bonds because they take the longest to mature of the government-issued securities. Treasury bonds are offered to investors in terms of 20 and 30 years to maturity.
