Due to a recession, expected inflation this year is only 4.25%. However, the inflation rate in Year 2 and thereafter is expected

to be constant at some level above 4.25%. Assume that the expectations theory holds and the real risk-free rate (r*) is 3.5%. If the yield on 3-year Treasury bonds equals the 1-year yield plus 1.5%, what inflation rate is expected after Year 1? Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answer:

Explanation:

Yield on 1 year trasury bond: r1=4.25+3.5 = 7.75%

Now, yield is r3 = 7.75+1.5 = 8.25%

r3=r*+inf

8.25=3.5+inf

inf=4.75%

4.75 = (4.25+i+i)/3

14.25 = 4.25 +2i

2i = 10

i = 5%

Inflation expected after year 1 is 5%

On October 31, 2015, the bank statement shows that your company has $12,956.73 in its checking account. You are aware of three o
seraphim [82]

Answer:

C. $11,498.73.

Explanation:

Solving this question, we will have to make use of this formula:

The Adjusted Bank Balance = Unadjusted Balance as per Bank Statement as at Oct 31, 2015 - Checks Outstanding

= $12,956.73 - $2,112.19 = $10,844.54

Now,

Before the adjustment on the 31st of October, 2015,

The Cash account Balance = Adjusted Bank Balance + insufficient funds checks

= $10,844.54 - $654.19 = $11,498.73

Hence third option in the question is the correct answer.
