Answer:A) one year

Explanation: The unbiased expectations theory, also known as the expectation theory aims to estimate how much the short term interest rates will amount to in future. This is based on long term interest rates. Forward rates are used to predict the value of interests in the future based on the values calculated today. A maturity of 1 year has the lowest interest rate because it is not given enough time to grow. Interest rates tend to grow better over a longer period of time. Therefore in terms of expectation theory the longer the maturity the better the chances of interest rate growth.

A firm currently employs four workers in a sandwich shop, and produces sandwiches at a total cost per sandwich (ATC) of $3. The
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

all are correct A, B and C

Explanation:

The marginal cost hiring another worker and producing a sandwich = $5.50 per sandwich, which is higher than the marginal revenue.

If the selling price per sandwich is $5 and the marginal cost per sandwich is $5.50, the firm will lose $0.50 for every sandwich that it sells.

Therefore the firm would be losing money is they hire an extra worker.

In order to maximize the profit, the marginal cost = selling price.

Assume that the economy has three types of people. 20% are fad followers, 75% are passive investors and 5% are informed traders.
mojhsa [17]

Answer: a. 11.5%

Explanation:

Fad followers are those investors who follow a trend when it emerges and as such their betas will be less than that of informed traders because the informed traders would have acted first.

Using the Capital Asset Pricing Model to calculate expected return.

Er = Rf + b( Rm - Rf)

Er = Expected return

Rf = Risk Free Rate

b = Beta

Rm = Market Return.

The Expected Return for the Informed Investors is,

= 4% + 1.4 ( 10% - 4%)

= 4% + 1.4 ( 6%)

= 12.4%

With the Fad followed expected to have a lower beta and therefore a lower expected return than the Informed Investors, the only suitable option is the 11.5%.

Answer:

The government can reduce GDP by either:

  1. lowering government expenses
  2. increasing taxes which will lower consumption
  3. or a combination of both

Explanation:

currently total GDP = $100 billion (C) + $40 billion (I) + $20 billion (G) + $10 billion (X) = $170 billion

since the full employment GDP = $120 billion, the government must lower the GDP by $50 billion before inflation starts to rise.

The government can reduce GDP by either:

  1. lowering government expenses
  2. increasing taxes which will lower consumption
  3. or a combination of both

We aren't given any more information regarding MPC or MPS, so it is not possible to calculate by how much should government spending be lowered or taxes increased.
