Answer:
It describes the problem of transaction costs and negotiation.
Explanation:
Externalities are situations that arise when the activities of an organization affects another for good or bad, but with the first organization that caused the change, receiving no benefits (if it was a positive change), or bearing no costs (if it as a negative change).
Ronald Coase proposed some theories about the possible solutions to externalities. One of them is negotiation between the two parties involved. The problem with this solution is the high costs of transaction that could be spent before an agreement is reached. The number of people involved in the negotiation could also be a problem.
Answer:
2.58%
Explanation:
Mathematically, the relationship between the different interest rates using the equation is shown below:
(1+S2)^2=(1+S1)^1*(1+2y1y)
The spot rate in year 2 is the same as the spot rate in year 1 multiplied by the 1-year forward rate beginning in year 2.
S2=2-year rate =2.34%
S1=1-year rate =2.10%
2y1y=one-year interest rate 2 years from now=the unknown
(1+2.34%)^2=(1+2.10%)^1*(1+2y1y)
(1+2y1y)=(1+2.34%)^2/(1+2.10%)^1
2y1y)=(((1+2.34%)^2/(1+2.10%)^1)-1
2y1y=1.025805642-1
2y1y= 2.58%
The formula shows that borrowing or lending for 2 years at 2.34% is the same as borrowing or lending at 2.10% in year and 2.58% forward rate in year 2
