Answer:

$1,068.02

Explanation:

For computing the selling price of the bond we need to use the Future value formula or function i.e to be shown in the attachment below:

Given that,  

Present value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 10% ÷ 2 = 5%

NPER = 3 years × 2 = 6 years

PMT = $1,000 × 8% ÷ 2 = $40

The formula is shown below:

= FV(Rate;NPER;PMT;-PV;type)

The present value comes in negative

So, after applying the above formula, the selling price of the bond is $1,068.02

dolphi86 [110]

Assume that a change in government policy results in greater production of both consumer goods and investment goods. We can conclude that the economy was not employing all of its resources before the policy change.

Explanation:

Policies by government will affect economic growth

Government policies have a major role to play in encouraging (or deterring) economic growth. Economic policies that lead to economic growth include:

Investing in infrastructure:

Infrastructure, such as highways or bridges, is tangible capital available to all. Governments are increasing their capital stock in the country by investing in infrastructure.

Productivity and labor participation strategies :

Promoting a higher rate of labor participation, for example labor participation tax incentives, will lead to even more economic growth.

Policies promoting accumulation of capital and technological advancement:

Savings-enhancing strategies that lead to higher growth and thus capital investments. Strategies that encourage technological innovation, such as research and development tax credits, often lead to increased economic growth.
