Answer:

A) interest rates will rise.

Explanation:

When the FED buys US securities it is carrying out an expansionary monetary policy. It reduces the interest rate of US securities so that more investors are willing to sell their US securities to the FED since their rate of return is very small.

If the FED stops buying back US securities, it means that they will stop their expansionary monetary policy, so the FED will start to increase US securities' interest rates. That way investors will be willing to keep their US securities and will not sell them since their rate of return has increased. This increase in the interest rate will lower the price of US securities and decrease the money supply.

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Explanation:

Run A Duration B Duration C Duration 1 51 48 17 2 60 48 19 3 30 39 19 4 31 48 22 5 30 31 14 6 41 16 17 7 44 12 6 8 44 12 10 9 45 43 9 10 60 41 10 Based on the simulated numbers given above, what is the average completion time of the whole project?

Since B is the predecessor of C.

Project completion time for each run will be calculated as Maximum (Duration of A, Duration of B +Duration of C).

Represent

Run = R

Duration of A  = DA

Duration of B  = DB

Duration of C = DC

Project Completion time = PT

<u>R       DA          DB                        DC               PT</u>

1       51            48                        17             48 + 17 = 65

2      60          48                        19             48 + 19 = 67  

4      31           48                       22              48 + 22 = 70

5      30         31                         14              31 + 14 = 45

6      41           16                       17                 41

7     44            12                       6                 44

8     44            12                      10                44

9     45           43                     9              43 + 9 = 52

10     60          41                     10                60

                                                                <u> Total = 546</u>

Total Project completion time in 10 Stimulations = 546

Average project Completion time = 546/10 = 54.6

Therefore, average Project completion time is between 53 and 56 days.

A stock had returns of 17.88 percent, −5.16 percent, and 20.39 percent for the past three years. What is the variance of the ret
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Variance of the return = 0.01983

Explanation:

S^{2}= Σ(X-X)^{2}/ N - 1

Mean return = 17.88% + -5.16% + 20.39% = 11.0367%  

Variance = [(17.88% - 11.0367%)2 + (-5.16% - 11.0367%)2 + (20.39% - 11.0367%)2] /(3 - 1)

Variance = [0.004683 + 0.026233 + 0.008748]/2

Variance = 0.01983
