Answer:

2.87%.

Explanation:

The total return, also refer to as Nominal return or Money return, is based on the nominal interest rate. For example, let's say that you deposited $100 into a bank account and the bank offers you an annual return of 11%. This 11% is the stated interest rate, it is known as nominal interest rate, and it is rate before taking into account the effect of inflation. When we deduct the effect of inflation from nominal rate, it gives us the real rate. Real rate reflects the Purchasing Power. The Fisher equation will be used to determine the expected inflation rate. The Fisher equation is as follows:

                                            (1 + i ) = (1 + r) * (1 + h)

where

i = Nominal (Money) rate

r = Real rate

h = Inflation rate

Simply adjust the equation to calculate the inflation rate;

⇒ h = [(1 + i) / (1 + r)] - 1

OR h = [(1 + .11) / (1 + .079)] - 1 = 2.87%.

Giving the following information:

You have won the $3 million first prize in the Centennial Lottery.

A 12-year, 5% coupon bond pays interest annually. The bond has a face value of $1,000.__________ Fill in the blank, read surroun
Nata [24]

Answer:

12.38% decrease

Explanation:

Given the following parameters

6%

Number of years = 12

Market yield I= 6 === 4.5

Present Value = 916.16 == 1045.59

PMT (annuity payment) = 50 (5%x1000)

Future value = 1000

Therefore, to solve for the percentage change, we have in the price of this bond in this situation, we have (916.16-1045.59) / 1045.59 = -0.1238

Hence, 12.38% decrease is the percentage change in the price of this bond if the market yield rises to 6% from the current yield of 4.5%,

The quantity theory of money is a theory of how A) the money supply is determined. B) interest rates are determined. C) the nomi
meriva

Answer:

C) the nominal value of aggregate income is determined

Explanation:

The quantity theory of money states that nominal aggregate income is determined by money supply. It is assumed that money velocity is constant in the short run and so would not impact nominal aggregate income.

The quantity theory of money is obtained from the equation of exchange which is:

(Money supply × velocity ) = (price × agregrate output)

Dividing both sides by velocity gives,

Money supply = (1/velocity) × ( price × agregrate output)

It is assumed velocity is constant, therefore,

Money supply = k × (price × agregrate output)

I hope my answer helps.

All the best

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Dividends  - <em>Statement of Changes  in Retained Earning</em>

Dividends are payments to shareholders from a company's net income. They are derived from the Statement of Changes  in Retained Earning because this is where Net Income is sent to. After they are deducted from Retained Earnings, the Earnings form part of Equity.

Differed Revenue  - <em>Balance Sheet</em>

Differed Revenue refers to money that was received from a customer or client for goods and/or services that have not yet been delivered. The business will treat them as a liability until they are delivered so they will go under Current Liabilities in the Balance Sheet assuming they are to be fulfilled in 12 months or less which is usually the case.

Service Revenue - <em>Income Statement</em>

These are revenue that the business earns for providing a service when their main source of revenue is by selling goods. It is listed in the Income Statement just after Revenue and is added to Revenue to get Total Revenue.
