You observe that the inflation rate in the United States is 1.0 percent per year and that T-bills currently yield 1.5 percent an

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

a) 4.5%

b) 7.5%

c) 9.5%

Explanation:

Given:

USA Inflation rate = 1.0%

T-bills current yield = 1.5%

a) What do you estimate the inflation rate to be in Australia, if short-term Australian government securities yield 5 percent per year?

To find the inflation rate in Australia, use the formula:

RUS - hUs = RFC - hFC

Where,

RUS = T-bills current yield = 1.5% = 0.015

hUs = USA Inflation rate = 1.0% = 0.01

RFC = short-term yield of Australian government securities = 5% = 0.05

Thus,

RUS - hUs = RFC - hFC

0.015 - 0.010 = 0.05 - hFC

0.005 = 0.05 - hFC

Solve for hFC:

hFC = 0.05 - 0.005

hFC = 0.045 = 4.50%

Inflation rate in Australia = 4.50%

b) What do you estimate the inflation rate to be in Canada, if short-term Canadian government securities yield 8 percent per year?

Use the same formula as in part A.

RUS - hUs = RFC - hFC

Here, RFC = 8% = 0.08

Thus,

0.015 - 0.010 = 0.08 - hFC

0.005 = 0.08 - hFC

Solve for hFC

hFC = 0.08 - 0.005

hFC = 0.075 = 7.50%

Inflation rate in Canada = 7.5%

c) What do you estimate the inflation rate to be in Taiwan, if short-term Taiwanese government securities yield 10 percent per year?

Use the same formula as in part A.

RUS - hUs = RFC - hFC

Here, RFC = 10% = 0.1

Thus,

0.015 - 0.010 = 0.10 - hFC

0.005 = 0.10 - hFC

Solve for hFC

hFC = 0.10 - 0.005

hFC = 0.095 = 9.50%

Inflation rate in Taiwan= 9.5%

liq [111]

Answer:

The correct answer is c. McGregor's Theory X.

Explanation:

Theory X is defined by Douglas McGregor in his 1960s book "The Human Side of Enterprise" as an <em>authoritarian</em> style of management. In the book, McGregor explains that styles of management are greatly influenced by how the manager views people. Theory X is based on the view that workers are inherently lazy and unmotivated, prefer to be directed, do not like to take responsibility and dislike to work in general. In this style of management, it is assumed that the only way to push employees to work is to provide them with incentives or punishments, according to their performance. Also, authority is centralized on a select few and employees are strictly controlled and supervised.

In this particular case, Gerard fits the Theory X style of management, as he coerces and threatens employees to push them to do their jobs. He has the belief that people don't like to work and avoid it.
