Answer: Option D
Explanation It is a common fact that bonds having longer term maturities have higher interest rate risk as compared to the bonds having short term maturities.
This, is due to the fact that market yield and price of bond have inverse relationship. Thus, the bonds having longer term periods to maturity will face more interest rate fluctuations as compared to short term bonds, that's why long term bonds price is more sensitive to interest rate changes.
Answer:
The reason is that high rates of money growth actually lower interest rates.
Explanation:
During economic hardship, governments employ expansionary fiscal policy: this policy consists in the central bank (the Fed in the case of the U.S.) printing money to lower interest rates. The reason is that more money in the economy raises the availability of loanable funds, and this reduces in turn the interest rates that securities pay.
Government bonds, being the safest security, will have their interest rates reduce substantially during times of high money growth due to expansionary fiscal policy.
Answer:
It will provide an amount of $13,259
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
present value of deferred annuity=$131,000
i=0.061/2=0.0305
n=20*2=40
k=14*2=28
Therefore, to calculate how much will it provide at the end of each half year (in dollars) for the next 20 years after they retire we would have to calculate the following formula:
$131,000=R(1-(1+0.0305)∧-40/0.0305)*(1+0.0305)∧-28
$131,000=R(1-(1.0305)∧-40/0.0305)* (1.0305)∧-28
$131,000=R(1-0.3006/0.0305)* 0.4311
$131,000=R(22.93)*(0.4311)
R=$131,000/9.88
R=$13,259
It will provide an amount of $13,259
Answer:
B) two or more countries agree to liberalize trade in a selected group of categories
Explanation:
