Answer: b. The real receipts of Star Wars were nearly two times greater than those for The Avengers.

Explanation:

Real reciept = (Dollar amount) ×( Ending-period CPI) ÷ (Beginning-period CPI)

Here, Receipt for Avengers in 2012 = $1,515.8 million

Receipt for Star wars in 1977 = $798.0 million

CPI in 2012 = 229.6

CPI in 1977 = 606

Now, Real receipt of Star wars in 2012 = $((798.0) × (229.6) ÷ 60.6)

=$ 3023.45 ≈ Twice  of receipt for Avengers in 2012.

<em>[Twice of receipt for Avengers in 2012 = $3031.6]</em>

<em />

Hence, the correct statement is b."The real receipts of Star Wars were nearly two times greater than those for The Avengers."

Someone with dollar bills to lend will never agree to make a loan with a nominal interest rate of less than zero because:
saw5 [17]
<span>Having a nominal interest rate less than 0 would mean that a depositor pays a bank to hold its money. If the annual nominal interest rate is negative 1 percent, a deposit of $1000 dollar would come out $10 dollar short the following year which is why someone with dollar bills will never agree to loan with a nominal interest rate that is negative percent.

A Treasury bill with a par value of $100,000 due three months from now is selling today for $97,087 with an effective annual yie
Zanzabum

The effective annual yield of a treasury bill is equivalent to 12.55%.

Option B is the correct answer.

<h3>What is the treasury bill?</h3>

The treasury bill is the trading instrument that is issued in the money market by the government.

Given values:

Par value: $100,000

Future value: $97,087

Number of years from now: 3 years

Step-1 Computation of interest rate of treasury bill:

\rm\ Interest \rm\ rate \rm\ on\rm\ treasury \rm\ bill=\frac{\rm\ Par \rm\ value - \rm\ Future \rm\ value}{\rm\ Future \rm\ value} \\\rm\ Interest \rm\ rate \rm\ on\rm\ treasury \rm\ bill=\frac{\$100,000-\$97,087}{\$97,087} \\\rm\ Interest \rm\ rate \rm\ on\rm\ treasury \rm\ bill=0.03

Step-2 Computation of equivalent yield the bill:

\rm\ Equivalent \rm\ annual \rm\ yield =(\rm\ 1+ \rm\ interest \rm\ rate)^{\rm\ Number \rm\ of \rm\ years}  - 1\\\rm\ Equivalent \rm\ annual \rm\ yield=(1+0.03)^{4} -1\\\rm\ Equivalent \rm\ annual \rm\ yield=1.01255-1\\\rm\ Equivalent \rm\ annual \rm\ yield=0.01255

Therefore, 12.55% is the equivalent yield on the treasury bill.
