Answer:

increase the money supply by $5 billion

Explanation:

When the Fed carries on an expansionary monetary policy it lowers interest rates and purchases government securities in order to increase the money supply in an attempt to boost economic growth.

The increase in the money supply is determined by the total amount of the open market operations carried out by the Fed ($1 billion) and the money multiplier (= 1/reserve ratio = 1/20% = 5).

Total increase in money supply = $1 billion x 5 = $5 billion

Skolits Corp. issued 10-year bonds 2 years ago at a coupon rate of 8.7 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments. If these bon
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

7.36%

Explanation:

Nper = (10-2)*2 = 16

Pmt = 1000*8.7%/2 = 43.5

Pv = -108%*1000 = -1080

Fv = 1000

YTM = Rate(Nper, pmt, -Pv, Fv)*2

YTM = Rate(16, 43.5, -1080, 1000)*2

YTM = 0.036795696 * 2

YTM = 0.073591392

YTM = 7.3591392%

YTM = 7.36%

Which of the following bonds has the greatest price risk? A 10-year $100 annuity. A 10-year, $1,000 face value, zero coupon bond
kogti [31]

Answer:

A 10-year, $1,000 face value, zero coupon bond.

Explanation:

Zero coupon bonds are sold at a deep discount, and do not pay coupons, only pay the full par value price at maturity.

Zero coupon bonds are riskier than other types of bonds because they are subject to interest tax risk: this means that even if the bond does not pay coupons, the IRS still computes an imputed interest that the bond would have received, and charges an income tax over it.

If the bondholder of a zero coupon sells the bond before maturity, the risk of having paid more in both income taxes on imputed intersest, plus the initial price of the bond itself, than the gain from the sale, is very high.
