Answer:

The current account balance goes from a $200 deficit, to a $100 surplus.

Explanation:

There are several ways to write the national saving and investment identity. We can choose to write it in this way:

(X - M) = S + (T - G) - I

Because the equation is an identity, we know that the left side of it (X - M) will always be equal to the right side (S + (T - G) - I), on which we wil be focusing.

With the initial values provided by the question, we have the following situation:

(X - M) = $200 + $900 - $1,300

(X - M) = $1,100 - $1,300

(X - M) = -$200

Thus, we have a deficit of $200

If investment decreases by $300, while the government budget, and savings remain the same, the situation changes:

(X - M) = $200 + $900 - $1,000

(X - M) = $1,100 - $1,000

(X - M) = $100

So now we have a surplus of $100

Which of the following does not allow a company to exclude a short term obligation from current liabilities? Group of answer cho
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer: Actually refinance the obligation.

Management indicated that they are going to refinance the obligation.

Have a contractual right to defer settlement of the liability for at least one year after the balance sheet date.

The liability is contractually due more than one year after the balance sheet date.

Explanation:

A current liability is an obligation payable within a year. A short term liability can be excluded from current abilities if management indicates that they are going to refinance it and show that they are capable of doing so.

Also if the company has a contractual right to defer settlement of the liability for at least one year after the balance sheet date, the short term obligation can be excluded.  The deferment means that it will be recognized in another period.

When the liability is contractually due more than one year after the balance sheet date, it stops being a current liability and becomes a non-current liability payable after a year.

The problem with bank runs is not that ____________will fail; they are, after all, bankrupt and need to be shut down. The proble
shusha [124]

Answer:

Insolvent banks;Solvent banks.

Explanation:

A bank run can be defined as a situation where bank clients or depositors make withdrawals of their money simultaneously from banks as a result of being scared or afraid the depository institution will run out of cash (bankruptcy) and become insolvent.

The problem with bank runs is not that insolvent banks will fail; they are, after all, bankrupt and need to be shut down. The problem is that bank runs can cause solvent banks to fail and spread to the rest of the financial system.

In order to counter the problem with bank runs, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was established on the 16th of June, 1933.

Furthermore, to avoid bank runs or other financial institutions from being insolvent, the Federal Reserve (Fed) and Central banks (lender of last resort) are readily accessible and available to give monetary funds to these institutions when they're running out of money and as well as regulate their activities.

If investors believe that a stock is not providing a return that sufficiently compensates them for the risk of the stock, they w
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

<u>sell the stock which will drive it's expected return even lower.</u>

Explanation:

An investor wants to be compensated for the risk undertaken in the form of return. When investors believe that a stock is not providing sufficient return, such stocks would be sold by the investor.

When a stock is not performing well i.e it's current market price goes down, all the investors holding that stock will sell it , leading to it's market price going further down.

Since the market price goes further down, the expected return on such a stock would further decline.

If the company were to issue an annual zero-coupon bond with a maturity of 2 years and par value of $1,000, what would be the ar
Contact [7]

Answer:

Note: <em>The complete question is attached as picture below</em>

1a. The one year spot rate can be calculated using the one year zero bond.

PV * (1 + S1) = FV

1 + S1 = 1000 / 900

S1 = 1.1111 - 1

S1 = 0.1111  

S1 = 11.11%

1b. PV of the 2 year bond = $950

Annual coupon = 1000 * 5% = $50

950 = 50 / (1 + S1) + (50 + 1000) / (1 + S2)^2

950 = 50 / 1.1111 + 1,050 / (1 + S2)^2

1,050/ (1 + S2)^2 = 950 - 45 = 905

(1 + S2)^2 = 1050 / 905

1 + S2 = 1.160221/2

S2 = 7.714%

1c. Price of the 2 year zero bond = 1,000 / (1 + 0.07714)^2

Price of the 2 year zero bond = 1,000 / 1.1602

Price of the 2 year zero bond = 861.9203586

Price of the 2 year zero bond = $861.92
