Answer:

Ans. The equilibrium rate of return on a 1-year Treasury bond is 6.65% (please check the explanation)

Explanation:

Hi, well, this type of bonds exist so people can avoid the time value of money risk, in other words, to keep money save from inflation and provide a risk free return at the same time. From a part of the text I can tell that the person who wrote it wanted to add up the risk free rate and the inflation rate, that is 3.05%+3.60% =6.65%.

This is why I wrote this answer, but the truth is that since they are both effective rates (risk free rate and inflation), they need to be add as effective rates, that is:

$(1+r(e))=(1+rf)*(1+Inf)$

Therefore

$r(e)=(1+rf)*(1+Inf)-1$

$r(e)=(1+0.0305)*(1+0.036)-1=0.0676$

So the real equilibrium rate of return is 6.76%, but for the sake of the question, I wrote 6.65%.

Best of luck.

Answer:

IRR = 13.05%

Explanation:

using an excel spreadsheet, the cash flows are:

year 0 = -$3,200,000

year 1 = $425,000

year 2 = $425,000 x 1.08 = $459,000

year 3 = $459,000 x 1.08 = $495,720

year 4 = $535,378

year 5 = $578,208

year 6 = $624,464

year 7 = $674,422

year 8 = $728,375

year 9 = $786,645

year 10 = $849,577

year 11 = ($849,577 x 1.08) - $480,000 = $917,543 - $480,000 = $437,543

IRR = 13.05%

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Monthly withdrawal = $ 231.17 per month

Explanation:

Below is the calculation:

Deposit amount in the bank = $10200

Interest rate earned by the deposit = 4.19%

Monthly interest rate = 4.19% / 12 = 0.34917%

Number of periods = 4 years x 12 = 48

Amount in the account = Monthly withdrawal x (P/A, 0.34917%, 48)

10200 = Monthly withdrawal x 44.12246

Monthly withdrawal = 10200/44.12246

Monthly withdrawal = $ 231.17 per month

The price elasticity of demand for beef is about 0.60. Other things equal, this means that a 20 percent increase in the price of

givi [52]

Answer:

Quantity of beef demanded will decrease by 12%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Price elasticity of demand for beef, Ed = 0.60

Increase in the price of beef = 20%

Now,

Price elasticity of demand for beef,

Ed = [ Percentage change in Quantity ] ÷ [ Percentage change in price ]

or

0.60 = [ Percentage change in Quantity ] ÷ 20%

or

Percentage change in Quantity = 0.60 × 20%

or

Percentage change in Quantity = 12%

Also,

Price and Quantity are inversely proportional

Hence,

With the increase in price, the quantity will decrease

Therefore,

Quantity of beef demanded will decrease by 12%
