A portfolio manager buys $1 million of U.S. Treasury bills maturing in 90 days at a price of $990,390 and discount rate of 3.8%.

ioda

Answer:

A. Outperforming the benchmark

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what the manager's portfolio

First step is to calculate the Treasury bill, bond-equivalent yield for U.S.

Using this formula

Treasury bill

=(Face value − Market value) / Market value × 365 / 90

Let plug in the formula

Treasury bill= ($1,000,000 − 990,390) / 990,390 × 365 / 90

Treasury bill=0.0097 × 0.04056

Treasury bill= 3.93%.

Second step is to calculate The total market value of the portfolio

Total market value portfolio=$990,390 + $100,000 + $200,000

Total market value portfolio= $1,290,390

Now let calculate the manager's portfolio

Manager's portfolio=3.93% ($990,390 / $1,290,390) + 4.34% ($100,000 / $1,290,390) + 4.84% ($200,000 / $1,290,390)

Manager's portfolio=3.93%(76.75%)+4.34%(7.75%)+4.84%(15.50%)

Manager's portfolio=0.0410*100

Manager's portfolio= 4.10%

Therefore Based on the above calculation the manager's portfolio is 4.10% OUTPERFORMING THE BENCHMARK because the manager's portfolio of 4.10% is higher than bond-equivalent yield benchmark portfolio of 4.0%.

If potential GDP is equal to $600 billion, what does the long-run aggregate supply curve look like?A) It is a horizontal line at

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

C) It is a vertical line at $600 billion of GDP

Explanation:

Aggregate supply is the total value of goods and services that companies established in a country are willing to produce and sell for each price level over a given period of time. It is therefore the sum of the supply curves of each firm.

Potential GDP, in turn, is the value of all final goods and services produced by an economy over a given period of time when all factors of production (capital and labor) are being tapped. It is the maximum production point of an economy. In this example, the potential GDP is 600 billion.

In the long run, an increase in the general price level does not affect aggregate production. Thus the aggregate supply curve of an economy represents the sum of all supply in a situation in which all factors of production are employed. This makes the vertical aggregate supply curve at 600 billion.
