hjlf

Answer:

Dividend declare has no impact on the SMA. RR would respond the following way.

Explanation:

SMA is known as “Special Memorandum Account”. It is simply a line of credit, neither cash nor equity. It is created with the market value of the securities increase in the value. The purpose of SMA is to maintain the buying power that is provided by unrealized gains towards the subsequent purchases. SMA is an appropriate way to maintain stable account value and minimize unnecessary accounts funding.

SMA increases with the increase in the value of the security, but does not decrease when the security falls in the value.

SMA is increased by the transactions such as cash deposits, interest income or dividend received or security sales. Dividend declared by the company creates a positive sentiments in the minds of investors. However, it will not create any impact on the SMA account, until it is actually received.

If the demand for loanable funds shifts to the right, then the equilibrium interest rate a. and quantity of loanable funds rises
never [62]

If the demand for loanable funds shifts to the right, then the equilibrium interest rate and quantity of loanable funds rise.

<u>Option: A</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The availability of loanable funds is savings dependent. Lending is dependent on desire for loanable funds. The relationship between the savings supply and loan requirement decides the real interest rate and the amount is being loaned out.

The requirement for loanable funds reflects lenders' actions, as well as the amount of loans requested. The smaller the rate of interest, the less costly it is to lend. The balance of loanable funds on the market is done because the amount of loans lenders want is the same as the amount of savings that savers have. The interest rate varies to ensure that both are equivalent.
