Answer: 9.04%
Explanation:
1 year rate today = 5% = 0.05
2 years rate today = 7% = 0.07
Maturity of longer bond = 2
The ending return if the 2 years bond are bought will be thesame as the needed return on series of a year bond which will be 1.1449
The market's forecast for 1-year rates 1 year from now will be calculated as:
= 1.05(1+X) = 1.1449
1.05 + 1.05X = 1.1449
1.05X = 1.1449 - 1.05
1.05X = 0.0949
X = 0.0949/1.05
X = 0.090381
X = 9.04%
Answer:
C) democratic reforms
Explanation:
One of the things I remember when I was a little kid was watching action movies with my father and many of them had a common hero, an American soldier or spy (and James Bond even though he is British), and a common enemy, the Soviet Union or some other communist country.
That was very in the late 80s and early 90s, and probably much earlier. The world was divided into two sides, the side that favored liberty and freedom (the US) and the communist evil nations.
In economic terms, communism and command economies meant that the government controlled most of a country's resources. This had a negative effect in that only politicians and their allies lived well and were rich, while the rest of the population was poor.
But then president Reagan and premier Gorbachev got together and decided that it was time for all the nonsense to stop, and the Berlin Wall fell, the Soviet Union split up and luckily for all (except James Bond and other heroes), communism ended.
The fall of communist led to democratic and capitalistic reforms.
Answer:
Sue will have more money than Neal as long as they retire at the same time
Explanation:
Both Neal and Sue invest the same amount ($5,000) at same interest rate (7%). In the compound interest rate formula only the time is differ. When they retire at age 60, Sue has 5 years more than Neal meaning Sue earn more interest than Neal.
Answer:
Ranking 10% interest rate:
1) 5 years
2) 10 years
3) 1 year
Raking 2% interest rate:
1) 10 years
2) 5 years
3) 1 year
Raking 18% interest rate:
1) 1 year
2) 5 years
3) 10 years
Explanation:
You have to apply to bring the amount of money to present value, according with the information, the formula is the next:
Present Value = Future Value/((1+ interest rate)^(n))
Where n is the number of years that you have to wait to receive the money.
You have to calculate every situation with the respective amount of time and interest rate, the result must be money. and when you get the 9 results, you have to compare every situation and chose the higher amount of money according to the interest rate, for example:
Present value = 140/ ((1+10%)^(1))= 127
= 140/ ((1+10%)^(5))= 149
= 140/ ((1+10%)^(5))= 135
So the answer for the first scenario with an interest rate of 10% is:
Ranking 10% interest rate:
1) 5 years
2) 10 years
3) 1 year
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Profit function would be maximised.
Profit = Revenue - Cost
Let units of both goods be = A ,B
Revenue per unit good A = 100
Revenue per unit good B = 90
Variable Cost per unit good A = 30
Variable Cost per unit good B = 25
Profit Function = (100 - 30)A + (90 - 35)B
= 60A + 65B
{The function is right without including 'average fixed cost' part of 'total cost' in the function because : average fixed cost is a constant & constant figure doesn't effect optimisation (via differentiation , ∵ d (c) = 0)
