Answer:

5.21%

Explanation:

14.1% or 14.1/100 = +0.141 (gain)

4.8% or 4.8/100 = -0.048 (loss)

7.2% or 7.2/100 = +0.072 (gain)

Firstly, we will add 1 to each annual return

1st year = 0.141 + 1 = 1.141..................R1

2nd year = -0.048 + 1 = 0.952.........R2

3rd year = 0.072 + 1 = 1.072.............R3

Now, we need to calculate the combined percent

(R1*R2*R3)^n . n =3

(1.141*0.952*1.072)^(1/3)

= 1.164440704 ^ (1/3)

=  1.05205665

Annualized average rate of return = Combined % - 1

= 1.05205665- 1

= 0.05205665

= 0.05205665 * 100

= 5.205665%

= 5.21%

So, required annual average rate of return over the three years is 5.21%

Suppose that the bond market and the money market both start out in equilibrium, then the Federal Reserve increases the money su
Trava [24]

Answer:

b) surplus; shortage; up; fall

Explanation:

If the bond market and money market start out at equillibrum, and money supply is increased there will be an excess (surplus) of money over bonds.

That is more money to buy less bonds. The relative scarcity of bonds will result in a shortage (bond supply cannot meet demand).

As a result of the shortage price of bonds will increase because more people are looking for the scarce bonds.

Price of bonds has an inverse relationship with interest. As price increases interest rates will fall.

For example consider a zero coupon bond of $1,000, being sold for low price of $850. On maturity it will yield gain of $150.

If the price rises to $950 the yield will only be $50.

So as price increases and interest (yield) decreases, it will no more be attractive to investors and demand will reduce to meet the available supply of bonds.
