I believe the answer is: A. <span>The Fed only loans money to member banks.

During inflation for example, the federal reserve could issue government owned bonds that can be bought by normal citizens (non member banks)
This allow them to take in a lot of money from market circulation and gradually increase the value of the currency.</span>

<span>The correct answer is A. The Fed issues coin and paper money to the US treasury (i.e. US currency). It also sells, transfers and redeems government bonds, bills, notes and securities as it is, effectively, the government's bank. The Fed also regulates how much money each bank has. However, they do not only loan money to member banks (member banks are simply banks which own stocks in the Fed).</span>

Suppose that preferences over private consumption C and public goods G are such that these two goods are perfect substitutes, th
Temka [501]

Answer:

Please see explanation below.

Explanation:

Public goods are goods consumed collectively, they are provided for all members of a community,

no one can be excluded from their consumption. The consumption by one person does not decrease the consumption possibilities for others. Public goods are available for everybody without paying, and these goods cannot be rationed: they are either provided for the whole community, or for no one. Examples of public goods include the public lighting system, public roads, radio broadcasts, national defence, lighthouses, town pavements, etc.

Private goods, on the other hand, are goods consumed individually, and if a unit has been consumed by

someone, then no one else can also consume the same unit. Private goods are scarcely available, and consuming a unit will decrease the amount available for further consumption. Therefore consumers compete for private goods, i.e. private goods are rival in consumption. Consumers can consume them if they pay the price, non-payers are excluded from consumption.

In the first scenario, given that both the private good and public good are perfect substitutes, the optimum quantity produced by the government is at the point where marginal social cost is equal to the marginal social benefit. This optimum output is lower than that of the private firm because the price of public good is higher than price of private good (since marginal social cost > marginal private cost).

If b increases, that means consumers are willing to give up more units of public goods for one unit of the private good. Therefore, the quantity produced by the government will reduce.

For the second part of the question: C = aG, where a > 0.

This implies that equal or more units of the private good is consumed with a particular units of public good. The optimum output still remain at the point where marginal social cost is equal to marginal social benefit but this output level is lower than if the two goods were to be perfect substitutes.

Consider a portfolio of stocks X, Y, Z whose returns in various economic conditions are set forth below.
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

The expected return is 10.95%

Explanation:

CALCULATE THE EXPECTED RETURN OF X

State _____Probability __X_____Expected return

Boom ____ 0.25 ______22%  ___5.50%

Normal ___ 0.60 ______15%  ___ 9.00%

Recession _0.15 _______5% ___ <u>0.75%  </u>

Total ______________________<u>15.25%</u>

CALCULATE THE EXPECTED RETURN OF Y

State _____Probability __Y_____Expected return

Boom ____ 0.25 ______10%  ___ 2.50%

Normal ___ 0.60 ______9%  ____5.40%

Recession _0.15 _______8% ___ <u>1.20%  </u>

Total ______________________<u>9.10%</u>

Now calculate the weighted average return based on investment in each portfolio

Expected return = ( Expected return of Assets X x Weight of Asset X ) + ( Expected return of Assets Y x Weight of Asset Y )  

Expected return = ( 15.25% x $3000/$10000 ) + ( 9.10% x $7000/$10000 )  

Expected return = 4.575% + 6.370%

Expected return = 10.945%

Expected return = 10.95%

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Dividend yield=10.3%

Explanation:

Mv=Do(1+g)/(Ke-g)

MV=?

Do=2.27

g=2.1%

Ke=14.56%

Mv=2.27(1+2.1%)/(14.56%-2.1%)

MV=2.75/(12.46%)

MV=$22.1

Dividend yield=dividend per share/share price per share

Dividend yield=2.27/22.1

Dividend yield=10.3%
