Answer: $300 billion
Explanation:
The real deficit that a Government has is one that has been adjusted for inflationary effects. It is calculated by subtracting the inflation rate times the total debt from the nominal deficit.
= Nominal deficit - (Inflation rate * Total debt)
= 1.5 trillion - ( 10% * 12 trillion)
= 1.5 trillion - 1.2 trillion
= $300 billion

Answer:
Change in Investment (Government Spending) = $200
Explanation:
Multiplier = k =∆Y/∆I = 1/(1-MPC)
Needed ∆Y = $1000 ; MPC = 0.8
1000/ ∆I = 1 / (1-0.8)
1000/∆I = 1 / 0.2
1000/∆I = 5
∆I = 1000/5
∆I = 200
Answer:
The YTM is less than 10%
Explanation:
If a coupon rate of a bond is greater than its yield to maturity (YTM), the bond is said to trade at a premium. The Bond's current price would be greater than its Face value
If a coupon rate of a bond is less than its yield to maturity (YTM), the bond is said to trade at a discount. The bonds current price would be less than its face value
In this Question, the bond's current price ($1,197.93) is greater than its face
($1,000) which means that the bond is trading at a premium. Therefore, we can conclude that the bond's YTM is less than its coupon payment. In this question the coupon rate is 10%, therefore the YTM should be less than 10%.
