Answer:

See explanation below for answer.

Explanation:

In the case of the United States debt to China, the bank in this case is China because, following the analogy in the question, the person entity that lends money to another is the "bank".

As of December 2019, the United States debt to China stood at $1.07 trillion.

This therefore goes to further buttress the point of China being the bank in the case of them lending money to the United States of America.

If inflation in the U.S. is projected at 3% annually for the next 5years and at 7% annually in Turkey for the same time period,
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

6.86011 Turkish liras per US dollar

Explanation:

US's inflation 3% for the next 3 years

Turkey's inflation 7% for the next 3 years

current Lira/Dollar spot rate (L/$) = 5.6702 (liras per dollar)

  • inflation rate US = (1 + 0.03)⁵ = 1.159274
  • inflation rate Turkey = (1 + 0.07)⁵ = 1.402552

difference = 1.402552 / 1.159274 = 1.20985 x current spot rate = 1.20985 x 5.6702 = 6.86011

Since the Turkish inflation rate is higher than the American inflation rate, then the Turkish lira will depreciate faster than the US dollar.

econ The presence of secondary markets ______________ the interest rates that firms have to pay on bonds issued by them.
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

decrease

Explanation:

Secondary markets decrease the interest rates that organizations have to pay on issued bonds. With the presence of secondary markets, companies that issue bond can then pay lower rates of interest and still sell the entire bonds needed. What the secondary market does is that it bids up the bonds price above their face values. This therefore makes interest that will be paid a lower percentage, and thus leads to lower ROI and yield.
