Answer: c. increase the discount rate.
Explanation:
The discount rate of a country is the rate at which the central bank in that country loans money out to the financial institutions.
When this rate is low, more financial institutions will borrow money as opposed to when it is high. Banks borrowing money increases the money supply in the economy so if the Federal Reserve wants to reduce money supply, it should increase the discount rate which would dissuade banks from borrowing from the Fed thereby limiting money supply.
This is a rare occurence in the market world and can lead to malfuunctions. Since the price level has dropped, we have that the catalogued items are overpriced with respect to the income and other basic goods. Hence, the demand for them will drop. In response, companies will also reduce their output.
Also, we have that the true rate of output and natural rate of output difference is proportional to the diffeerence between price levels. Since the actual price level is lower than the expected one, we have that the rate of output will fall below the natural rate of output for a while.
Answer:
Explanation:
In this question ,we take the difference of the per bond value based on the year. The computation is shown below:
During 2015 to During 2017:
= Number of bonds purchased × (December 31, 2017 value - 2015 value)
= 10,000 × ($92 - $61)
= 10,000 × $31
= $310,000
During 2018:
= Number of bonds purchased × (December 31, 2018 value - 2017 value)
= 10,000 × ($146- $92)
= 10,000 × $54
= $540,000
So, the total amount would be
= $310,000 + $540,000
= $850,000
This amount which reflect in the income statement as a realized gain
Answer:
The correct answer is 23.33 and 11.67.
Explanation:
According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:
ROE = 20%
Plowback ratio = 0.30
Earning per share = $2
Rate of return = 12%
So, we can calculate the price and P/E ratio by using following formula:
First we calculate the growth rate of the company.
So, Growth rate (g) = Plowback ratio × ROE
By putting the value we get,
Growth rate = 0.30 × 0.20 = 6%
Now we calculate the price,
So, Price = Earning × ( 1 - Plowback ratio) ÷ ( Return rate - Growth rate)
= $2 × ( 1 - 0.30) ÷ ( 0.12 - 0.06)
= 1.4 ÷ 0.06
= 23.33
And P/E ratio = Price ÷ earning per share
= 23.33 ÷ 2
= 11.67
