Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

The money multiplier = 1 ÷ reserve ratio

                                    = 1 ÷ 0.1

                                    = 10

If a bank purchases $65 million of government securities from the Fed then this will reduce the money supply in the economy because the money from the bank is going.

The decrease in money supply:

= purchase amount × money multiplier

= 65 × 10

= 650 million

kkurt [141]

Answer:

17.76%

Explanation:

The computation of the time-weighted return on your investment is given below

But before that we have to do the following calculations

Year 1 = ($46.50 - $42.50) + 2 ÷ ($42.50) × 100 = 14.12%

Year 2 = ($54.50 - $46.50) + 2 ÷ ($46.50) × 100 = 21.51%

Now the time weighted return is

(1 + t)^2 = (1 + 14.12%) × (1 + 21.51%)

= 1.1412 × 1.2151

= √1.3867 - 1

= 17.76%
