Answer: Reserves and the monetary base; the money supply ( please check your options, they are not clear)
Explanation:
An open market operation (OMO) is an operation by a central bank to give lquidity to a bank or receive liquidity in its currency from a bank. A central bank uses OMO as the major means of balancing monetary policy target in terms of inflation, interest rates, or exchange rates, by purchasing or selling of government securities so as to to expand or contract money in the bank system and control interest rates.
The use of open market operations as a monetary policy tool ultimately helps the Fed pursue its dual responsibilities- improving employment and influencing prices—by controlling the supply of reserves in the banking system, which leads to interest rate changes.
Open market sales therefore shrink Reserves and Monetary base thereby lowering the Money Supply.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
We are to find the present value of the annuity
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 10 = $4,800
I = 5%
Present value = 37,064.16
To find the PV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
Answer:
13.42%
Explanation:
The computation of return on equity is shown below:-
Debt = Assets × ( Debt to assets ratio)
$155,000 × 37.5%
= $58,125
Equity = Total Assets - Debt
= $155,000 - $58,125
= $96,875
Old Return on equity = Old Net Income ÷ Equity
=$20,000 ÷ $96,875
= 20.64%
New Return on equity = New Net Income ÷ Equity
= $33,000 ÷ $96,875
= 34.06%
Increased in Return on equity = New Return on equity - Old Return on equity
= 34.06% - 20.64%
= 13.42%
