Is it reasonable to assume that treasury bonds will provide higher returns in recessions than in booms?

2 answers:

It is indeed reasonable.We know this because interest rates rise when the economy is booming and fall when the economy goes into a recession which is known as procyclic movement. What happens is that during recessions the government usually tries to keepcinterest rates low in order to stimulate investment. It is good because bond prices and interest rates go in opposite directions so bond prices will rise when recession starts.

Answer:

B. emotion regulation

Explanation:

Emotion regulation refers to an ability to delay a natural response in order to show an adjusted response that is intended to create a certain perception.

This can be seen in the example above.

The natural response for the person who sit in the chair and burnt would most likely to be panicked and anxious. But these performers understand that the audiences will find the performance off putting if they do that, so they use their emotion regulation to create a perception that they're calm and unaffected.

On January 1, 2016, Brian's stock portfolio is worth $100,000. On September 30, 2016, $5,000 is withdrawn from the portfolio, an

defon

Answer:

1.93%

Explanation:

The time weighted rate of return will be computed by combining the return at every time period demarcated by a withdrawal/addition.

Time 1: Jan 1, 2016 to Sep 30, 2016

start value = 100,000; end value = (105,000+5,000) = 110,000

Return = $\frac{110,000}{100,000}=1.1$

Time 2: Sep 30, 2016 to Sep 30, 2017

start value = 105,000; end value = 108,000

Return = $\frac{108,000}{105,000}=1.028571$

Time 3: Sep 30, 2017 to Dec 31, 2017

start value = (108,000 + 3,000) = 111,000; end value = 100,000

Return = $\frac{100,000}{111,000}=0.900901$ .

Therefore, time weighted return

= (1.1 * 1.028571 * 0.900901) - 1

= 0.019305

= 1.93%.

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

23.25%; 62.01%

Explanation:

(a) Amount received:

= No. of shares × selling price

= 100 × $43

= $4,300

Sales deposit = 60% of Amount received

= 0.6 × $4,300

= $2,580

Amount paid = No. of shares × Purchase price

= 100 × $49

= $4,900

Therefore, Loss = $4,900 - $4,300

= $600

(b) If buys at $27, then

Amount paid = $27 × 100

= $2,700

Profit = $4,300 - $2,700

= $1,600

Loss on investment:

= ($600 ÷ $2,580) × 100

= 23.25%

Profit on investment:

= ($1,600 ÷ $2,580) × 100

= 62.01%
