Suppose the real risk-free rate is 4.20%, the average expected future inflation rate is 2.50%, and a maturity risk premium of 0.

10% per year to maturity applies, i.e., MRP = 0.10%(t), where t is the number of years to maturity, hence the pure expectations theory is NOT valid. What rate of return would you expect on a 4-year Treasury security? Disregard cross-product terms, i.e., if averaging is required, use the arithmetic average.

The rate of return that you would expect on a 4-year Treasury security is 7.10%

Rate on return = real rate + inflation rate + per yr. maturity risk premium * T yrs. of maturity

Explanation:

The Formula for the

<u> Rate on return = Real rate + inflation rate + per yr. maturity risk premium * T yrs. of maturity</u>

Given ,that

Real risk free rate =4.20%

Inflation Rate=2.50%,

Maturity Risk premium=0.10%

<u>Putting all the values in the above equation </u>

Rate of return = 4.20% + 2.50% + (0.10%*4)

Rate of return=6.80%*4

Rate of return= 7.10%

<u>The maturity risk premium is</u>

<u></u>

= 0.10% × 4

= 0.40%

In the above solution  we have added the real rate, inflation rate and the maturity risk premium ,so that we can arrive on the value of the  rate on return of a treasury security .

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

2018:

Accounts receivable (net) = $20

Net sales = $115

Cost of goods sold = $60

Net income = $20

Inventory turnover = 5.22

Return on equity = Return on assets × Equity multiple

                             = 10.3% × 2.36

                             = 24.308% or 24.3%

Therefore, Dowling's return on equity for 2018 is 24.3%.

Studying international business is important because the best way of conducting business is usually the same from country to cou
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

Conducting business is usually NOT the same from country to country because:

1. DIFFERENCE IN BUSINESS ETHICS: Business ethics vary from nation to nation. European countries work from 8 am to 5 pm on a typical work day and rest on Saturdays and Sundays; but in the middle East, people do not work on Fridays but work on Sundays. They also take a lot of business time off for routine prayers during normal work hours.

2. NEED FOR TRANSLATORS: Differences of language does increase the cost of carrying out business activities in other nations. Take India and China for example; You cannot conclude that business deals will be carried out without hiring a translator who understands Hindi or Mandarin.

3. LOCAL LAWS AND CUSTOMS: The UK customs and laws require that cars be driven on the left hand side of the road but that is not the same in most other countries of the world, hence a U.S car manufacturer must be aware of the costs of redesign if he has to sell cars in the U.K.

High inflation in the United States would most likely have a negative impact on
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

High inflation will cause an adverse effect on the exchange rate. However, the low inflation rate does not have a positive effect on the value of currency and exchange.  

Inflation rate affects the rate of interest which has an effect on the exchange rate. The relationship between the interest rate and inflation is complex and difficult to manage.

Lower interest rates are likely to lower the cost of borrowing. As a result, there is an increase in investment and production. This increases aggregate demand and thus price level.  

But lower interest discourages foreign investment, the demand for domestic currency falls.This shift the currency demand curve to left decreasing the interest rate.
