Answer:

Other things the same, the effects of an increase in transfer payments on the government's budget deficit will lead to

D. a higher interest rate.

Explanation:

When the government is operating a budget deficit, it means that its spendings are more than its tax revenues. It then resorts to issuing treasury bills and bonds to finance the deficit. This naturally reduces the price of bonds and raises interest rates. With rising interest rates, firms and individuals reduce their spending. The cost of borrowing becomes more expensive than before.

A client invests in an equity indexed annuity that has a guaranteed rate of 3% annual return, a 10% cap and 80% participation. i

34kurt

Answer:

10%

The investor will be credited with the interest at the rate of 10%.

Explanation:

Cap on interest rate which is going to be credited = 10%

Participation=80%

Increase in reference index = 15%

As the participation rate is 80% so the investor can credit the amount of 80% * 0.15= 12% (15% of 80%) but as it is given in the question, the cap of 10% is put on the interest rate credited so the investor will be credited with the interest at the rate of 10%.

Assume the sales price is $10 per unit, variable cost is $5 per unit, and fixed cost is $1,000. How would the break-even point i

Oxana [17]

Answer:

it would increase by 300 units

Explanation:

Breakeven quantity are the number of units produced and sold at which net income is zero

Breakeven quantity = fixed cost / price – variable cost per unit

Fixed costs are costs that do not vary with output. e,g, rent, mortgage payments

If production is zero or if production is a million, Mortgage payments do not change - it remains the same no matter the level of output.

Hourly wage costs and payments for production inputs are variable costs

Variable costs are costs that vary with production

If a producer decides not to produce any output, there would be no need to hire labour and thus no need to pay hourly wages.

Initial breakeven = 1000 / (10 - 5) = 200

New breakeven = 1000 /(10 - 8) = 500

Change in breakeven = 500 - 200 = 300

Answer:

The one-year liquidity index for these securities is 0.862

Explanation:

For computing the liquidity index, we have to use the formula which is shown below:

= (IBM stock face value ÷ total amount of face value) × (IBM current liquidation value ÷ IBM one year liquidation value) + (GE stock face value ÷ total amount of face value) × (GE current liquidation value ÷ GE one year liquidation value) + (Treasury securities stock face value ÷ total amount of face value) × (Treasury securities current liquidation value ÷ Treasury securities one year liquidation value)

where,

total amount of face value = IBM stock face value + GE stock face value + Treasury securities face value

= $15,000 + $6,000 + $20,000

= $41,000

Now put these values to the above formula

= ($15,000 ÷ $41,000) × ($14,900 ÷ $15,500) + ($6,000 ÷ $41,000) × ($3,000 ÷ $3,400) + ($20,000 ÷ $41,000) × ($15,000 ÷ $19,000)

= 0.365 × 0.961 + 0.146 × 0.882 + 0.487 × 0.789

= 0.350 + 0.128 + 0.384

= 0.862

Hence, the one-year liquidity index for these securities is 0.862
