Answer: b. reduce taxes and cut back on some social programs
Explanation:
When the Economy is not doing well, Social programs are usually targeted as they usually take a lot of money from the Government's coffers.
It is also a generally held view that reducing taxes as a Fiscal policy can help stimulate the Economy by leaving the public with more funds to invest in and spend on the Economy.
The Government of Ruritania is therefore most likely to combine reducing Social programs as well as reducing taxes. This will have the effect of leaving the Government with some money as it loses revenue from taxes whilst also enabling the public to have more money to invest and to spend which will then lead to Economic growth.
Answer:
d. $119.32
Explanation:
The computation of the total of leiff online purchase is shown below:
= Video game price - discount + sales tax + shipping fee
where,
Video game price is $128
The discount = Video game price × discount percentage
= $128 ×15%
= $19.2
The sales tax = (Video game price - discount) × sales tax rate
= ($128 - $19.2) ×5.3%
= $5.77
And, the shipping fee is $4.75
Now put these values to the above formula
So, the value would equal to
= $128 - $19.2 + $5.77 + $4.75
= $119.32
Answer:
YTM = 8.93%
YTC = 8.47%
Explanation:
The first part is the present value of the coupon payment until the bond is called.
The second is the present value of the called amount
P = market price value = 1,200
C = annual coupon payment = 1,000 x 12% 120
C/2 = 60
CP = called value = 1,060
t = time = 6 years
Using Financial calculator we get the YTC
8.467835879%
The first part is the present value of the coupon payment until manurity
The second is the present value of the redeem value at maturity
P = market price value = 1,200
C = coupon payment = 1,000 x 12%/2 = 60
C/2 = 60
F = face value = 1,060
t = time = 10 years
Using Financial calculator we get the YTM
8.9337714%
