You don't want all of your eggs in one basket. If one stock and/sector of the market sinks, hopefully it will be offset by your diversification.
Answer: $40,800
Explanation:
Each unit requires 2 hours of direct labor.
1,020 units would therefore require:
= 1,020 * 2
= 2,040 hours of labor
The direct labor rate is $20 per hour. If there are 2,040 hours to be worked, the cost would therefore be:
= 20 * 2,040
= $40,800
Explanation:
Ok so the Taylor Rule is one kind of targeting monetary policy rule of a central bank. The Taylor rule was proposed by the American economist John B. Taylor in 1992, who is currently the George P.Shultz Senior Fellow In Economics at and the director of Standford’s Introductory Economics Centre.
Also the Taylor Rule suggests that the Federal Reserve should raise rates when inflation is above target or when gross domestic product (GDP) growth is too high and above potential. It also suggests that the Fed should lower rates when inflation is below the target level or when GDP growth is too slow and below potential.
Answer:
Secular bear market
Explanation:
A secular bear market is a long term trend that lasts between 5 to 25 years which consists of a smaller bull market and a larger bear market. It means that a small period of increase in prices is followed by a prolonged period of a decrease in price.
A secular bear occurred between January 1980 to June 1999 in the gold market. During this time, the price of gold fell $850/oz to $253/oz
A secular bull market is a long term trend that lasts between 5 to 25 years which consists of a small period of decline in prices is followed by a prolonged period of a rise in price.
Certificates of Deposit (CDs), U.S Treasury Bills, and savings accounts are generally regarded as the least risky investments, given that they are backed - at least up to a certain limit - by the U.S government.
CDs are essentially fixed-term savings accounts, which means you must deposit your funds for a set amount of time, until the account reaches what is called "maturity." Withdrawing funds before this point typically leads to a fee. In return for sacrificing liquidity, CDs tend to offer higher interest rates than normal savings accounts. These rates are most often fixed, though they sometimes come with a feature that enables you to readjust your interest rates once over your account's lifetime. Bank-issued CDs are also insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for up to $250,000 per depositor, though this figure has dropped to $100,000 January 1, 2014. Credit Union-issued CDs are insured by another government agency, the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), which provides the same coverage as the FDIC.
U.S Treasury Bills are sold by the government to investors as a way to fund short-term government debts. If you purchase a U.S Treasury Bill, you are basically loaning the government a certain amount of money in return for the government's promise to pay you back with a predetermined higher amount when the bill reaches maturity. U.S Treasury Bills are typically issued with maturity terms of one month, three months, six months and 1 year.
As we all know, savings accounts are offered by banks and credit unions and provide variable interest rates, which means their rates fluctuate in accordance with the Prime Rate. While there is no time requirement for a savings account, as there is with a CD, the law only allows consumers to make up to six transfers or withdrawals from a savings account per month (not including in-person ATM or branch withdrawals). Savings accounts offer the same as insurance protections as CDs.
Hope this helps you =)
