Answer:

a. exchange rate = 1

b. exchange rate = 1.5

Explanation:

(a) National Saving = Private saving + public saving

Private saving = Y - C - T

=> Private saving = 5000 - (250 + 0.75(Y – T)) - 1000

=> Private saving = 5000 - (250 + 0.75(5000 – 1000)) - 1000 = 750

Public saving = T - G = 1000 - 1000 = 0

National saving = 750 + 0

= 750

Investment = 1000 - 50r = 1000 - 50*5

= 750

Y = C + I + G + NX

Trade Balance = Y - C - G - I = 5000 - (250 + 0.75(5000 – 1000)) - 1000 - 750 = 0

Thus Trade Balance = 0

NX = 0 => NX = 500 – 500e = 0

=> e = 1

Thus exchange rate = 1

(b)

National Saving = Private saving + public saving

Private saving = Y - C - T

=> Private saving = 5000 - (250 + 0.75(Y – T)) - 1000

=> Private saving = 5000 - (250 + 0.75(5000 – 1000)) - 1000 = 750

Public saving = T - G = 1000 - 1250 = -250

National saving = 750 - 250

= 500

Investment = 1000 - 50r = 1000 - 50*5

= 750

Y = C + I + G + NX

Trade Balance = Y - C - G - I = 5000 - (250 + 0.75(5000 – 1000)) - 1250 - 750 = -250

Thus Trade Balance = -250

NX = -250 => NX = 500 – 500e = -250

=> e = 750/500 = 1.5

Thus exchange rate = 1.5

Damm [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

If an economy is working well below capacity this means there is huge amount of unused resources left. Resources or inputs at this point will be available at a relatively lower price. So the firms will be able to expand output at a cheaper rate.

When the demand for inputs increase the input price will not increase much. So, the firms will be able to increase output and the price level will not increase by a great extent.

Yan Yan Corp. has a $5,000 par value bond outstanding with a coupon rate of 4.6 percent paid semiannually and 21 years to maturi

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Price of the bond = $4,122.36

Explanation:

The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).

Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV

The value of bond for Yan Yan Corp. be worked out as follows:

Step 1

PV of interest payments

Semi annul interest payment

= 4.6% × 5,000 × 1/2 = 115

Semi-annual yield = 4.1%/2 = 2.05 % per six months

Total period to maturity (in months) = (2 × 21) = 41 periods

PV of interest =

115 × (1- (1+0.0205)^(-21)/0.0205)=1,946.47

Step 2

PV of Redemption Value

= 5000 × (1.0205^(-41) = 2,175.89

Step 3:Price of the bond

Total present Value = 1,946.47 + 2,175.89 = 4,122.36

Price of the bond = $4,122.36
