Honduras is a small economy in central america. it keeps a fixed exchange rate with the us. capital is perfectly mobile. you may
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

Given that Honduras is a small economy in Central America, and it keeps a fixed exchange rate with the US, and capital is perfectly mobile, but interest rates are three percent in the US and six percent in Honduras, the explanation of the difference in these interest rates are as follows:

Honduras has a higher interest rate, meaning that its sovereign bonds pay higher values than the American ones, as well as its banks also pay higher interests on their investments compared to American banks.

This is so for a double reason: on the one hand, because the Honduran economy is less reliable than the American economy, which is larger and therefore more solvent and capable of overcoming eventual crises, with which the risk of default is less.

On the other hand, the Honduran economy is more dependent on foreign investment, so it must offer higher interest rates to attract such investments.

In evaluating independent projects, no incremental analysis is necessary between projects. Each project is evaluated separately
fenix001 [56]

TRUE

<u>Explanation:</u>

The correct answer is true as the independent projects are selected based on the net present worth and the rate of return and do nothing alternative. In the independent projects, there is no need for the incremental B/C analysis. Simple B/C ratio will do it. If the B/C > 1, benefits outweigh the costs and the project is selected provided that there is no budget limitation. Thus, the given statement is absolutely the true one.
