Answer:

the approximate real interest rate = nominal rate - inflation rate = 6.5% - 1.3% = 5.2%

the exact real interest rate is calculated using the following formula:

(1 + nominal interest rate) = (1 + real interest rate) (1 + expected rate of inflation)

(1 + 0.065) = (1 + real interest rate) x (1 + 0.013)

1 + real interest rate = (1 + 0.065) / (1 + 0.013) = 1.065 / 1.013 = 1.05133

real interest rate = 1.05133 - 1 = 0.05133 = 5.13%

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Explanation:

a.)

This is an annuity type of question. Using a financial calculator, input the following to find the PV of the Ordinary annuity;

Total duration; N = 15*12 = 300

Monthly rate; I/Y = 7.2%/12 = 0.6%

One-time future cashflow; FV = 0

Recurring monthly payment; PMT = 150

then compute present value; CPT PV = $20,845.24

b.) This is an <em>Annuity Due </em>type of question since the recurring monthly payment occur at the beginning of the month.

Using a financial calculator, change the mode to "BEG"  and input the following to find the PV of the annuity due;

Total duration; N = 15*12 = 300

Monthly rate; I/Y = 7.2%/12 = 0.6%

One-time future cashflow; FV = 0

Recurring monthly payment; PMT = 150

then compute present value; CPT PV = $20,970.31

Metropolis National Bank is holding 2% of its deposits as excess reserves. Assume that no banks in the economy want to maintain
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Increase in money supply = $200,000

Explanation:

Note: The given question is incomplete, missing part is as follow:

                    Metropolis National Bank

                            Balance sheet

Assets                                              Liabilities

Reserves     $60,000                Deposits          $500,000

<u> Loans           $440,000                                                           </u>

Computation:

Excess reserve hold = 2% × Deposits  

Excess reserve hold = 2% × $500,000

Excess reserve hold = $10,000

Required reserve =  Reserves - Excess reserve hold

Required reserve = $60,000 - $10,000

Required reserve = $50,000

So,

Required reserve ratio = [$50,000 / $500,000]100 = 10%

Multiplier(K) = 1 / Required reserve ratio

Multiplier(K) = 1 / 10%

Multiplier(K) = 10

Total Money = Person deposit +  Excess reserve hold

Total Money = $10,000 + $10,000

Total Money = $20,000

Increase in money supply = Total Money × Multiplier(K)

Increase in money supply = $20,000<u> </u> × 10

Increase in money supply = $200,000

kolezko [41]
