Answer:

a. 4%

b. 10%

Explanation:

1. Federal funds target = Real Federal funds rate + Inflation rate + 1/2( inflation gap) + 1/2(output gap)

Inflation gap = Current inflation - inflation target = 2% - 2% = 0

Economy is at full employment so output gap is 0.

= 2% + 2% + 1/2(0) + 1/2 (0)

= 4%

2. Federal funds target = Real Federal funds rate + Inflation rate + 1/2( inflation gap) + 1/2(output gap)

= 2% + 6% + 1/2(6% - 2%) + 1/2(0)

= 10%

You are evaluating a fund that had an annual average return of 7.2%. During that time, the average risk-free rate was 1.5% and t
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Risk free rate(Rf) = 1.5%

Market return(Rm) = 8%

Beta(β) = 0.8

ER(P) = Rf  + β(Rm – Rf)

ER(P) = 1.5 + 0.8(8-1.5)

ER(P) = 1.5 + 0.8(6.5)

ER(P) = 1.5 + 5.2

ER(P) = 6.7%

Alpha = Annual average return - ER(P)

         = 7.2% - 6.7%

         = 0.5%

Explanation:

In this case, we will calculate the expected return on the stock based on CAPM. Thereafter, we will calculate alpha by deducting the expected return from annual average return.

Suppose the United States can produce either 90 apples and 20 oranges or 80 apples and 30 oranges. What is the opportunity cost
Tju [1.3M]

Answer: The opportunity cost of producing 1 apple will be 1 orange.

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is defined as the loss or cost of another alternative when another alternative is being chosen by an economic agent.

In this scenario, the opportunity cost of producing every additional apple will be 1 orange due to the fact that as there's an increase in the production of apple from 80 to 90, there'll be a reduction in the production of orange from 30 to 20.

This indicates that for the increase of 10 apples, there's a reduction of 10 oranges which implies that an increase of 1 apple brings about a reduction by 1 orange.
