Answer: D. U.S. Treasury securities and Discount loans to banks.
Explanation: When examining the Fed's balance sheet, in most periods, the two most important assets are U.S. Treasury securities and Discount loans to banks. The Fed's balance sheet balance sheet includes a large number of distinct assets and liabilities containing a great deal of information about the scale and scope of its operations. Of these assets the U.S. Treasury securities and Discount loans to banks are paramount.
U.S Treasury securities are such as bills, notes and bonds issued by the U.S. government viewed as having virtually no credit risk. As such, they are debt obligations of the U.S. government.
Discount loans to banks are direct short term loans provided to banks by the Fed to meet temporary shortages of liquidity caused by internal or external disruptions.
(a) Discount amount = Face value - Price of t-bills = $1,000-$996 = $4
(b) Amount received at maturity = Face value = $1,000 (Note: T-bills are guaranteed and thus one of the safest investment).
(c) Current yield, R = Discount amount/Face value * 360/t, where t = 52 weeks = 360 days.
Then,
R = (4/1000)*(360/360)*100 = 0.4%
Answer:
2016: $300 million; 40%; $60 million
2017: $450 million; 60%; $90 million
Explanation:
Total costs:
= Costs incurred in 2016 + Costs incurred in 2017
= $240 + $360
= $600
In 2016:
Percent of total excepted costs:
= Costs incurred in 2016 ÷ Total costs
= $240 ÷ $600
= 0.4 or 40%
Revenue recognized:
= Percent of total excepted cost × Contract price
= 0.4 × $750 million
= $300 million
Income = Revenue recognized - Costs incurred in 2016
= $300 million - $240 million
= $60 million
In 2017:
Percent of total excepted costs:
= Costs incurred in 2017 ÷ Total costs
= $360 ÷ $600
= 0.6 or 60%
Revenue recognized:
= Percent of total excepted cost × Contract price
= 0.6 × $750 million
= $450 million
Income = Revenue recognized - Costs incurred in 2017
= $450 million - $360 million
= $90 million
