The author argues that advertising often appeals to sentiments. How is this connected to vicarious consumption

Business
1 answer:
AnnyKZ [126]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Vicarious consumption refers to showing a family's (or individual) social status through the things that they purchase, i.e. keeping up with the Joneses.

Advertising links the desire to be socially recognized and accepted with the possession of material goods. This is exactly what vicarious consumption is all about. E.g. if most of your classmates use expensive Nike shoes, you will feel different if you wear cheap shoes. If you add this feeling of being different plus Nike ads reinforcing that feeling, then you will at least consider buying Nike shoes, or whichever brand is popular among your friends.

The same thing applies to your parents, e.g. if your parents' friends all buy large SUVs, then your parents will feel different if they buy a sedan even if they would be happy with it. Again, advertisement plays an important role here because it shows SUVs as the appropriate cars for successful families (and the larger the SUV, the more successful you are).

A zero-coupon bond has a yield to maturity of 11% and a par value of $1,000. If the bond matures in 27 years, the bond should se
stepan [7]

Answer:

The bond should sell for a price of $59.74 today.

Explanation:

Zero Coupon Bond is a bond which does not offer any interest payment but it is issued at deep discount amount from the face value of the bond.

Price of Zero Coupon Bond = \frac{F}{( 1 + r )^t}

F = Face / Par Value of Bond = $1,000

r = rate of interest = 11%

n = number of years = 27 years

Price of Bond =  \frac{1000}{( 1 + 0.11)^27}

Price of Bond = $59.74

As Zero coupon bond does not offer any discount so, it is valued much below the par value.

The discount rate is the interest rates on loans that the Federal Reserves makes banks. Banks occasionally borrow from the Feder
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

The higher discount rate lower the banks incentive to borrow from the Fed, lowering the quantity of reserves, and causing the money supply to fall.

This is because a higher discount rate makes borrowing from the Fed more expensive. Some of the money that would have been borrowed from the fed becomes bank reserves, and some other becomes loanable funds that increase the money supply. As a result, if banks borrow less from the fed, the money supply falls (or grow less).

The Fed Funds rate is the rate that banks charge one another for short-term overnight loans.

This occurs when banks are stripped of cash, and rely on other banks to meet their cash requirements for the day.

When the Fed buys government bonds, the reserves in the banking system increases, the banks demand for the reserves decreases, and the federal funds rate falls.

When the Fed buys government bonds, it is essentially creating money. This money enters the banking system in the form of reserves, of which some are loaned out, creating even money. Demand for the borrowed reserves falls because banks now need less of it, and as a result, their price: the federal funds rate, also falls.
