Answer: Argentinean central bankers effectively gave control of their domestic interest rate to the FOMC.
Explanation:
The Federal Open Market Committee(FOMC) is a committee of the Federal Reserve which influences the interest rate in the country by engaging in Open Market Operations (OMO). In doing so, they also influence the value of the dollar which is the currency of the U.S.
By pegging the Argentine Peso to the U.S. dollar, the Argentines effectively gave control of their domestic interest rate to the FOMC because the FOMC in deciding the interest rate for the U.S. and therefore the dollar, will be deciding for any other currency that moves exactly as the dollar does which is what the Peso is now going to do.

Explanation:
a. Determine the due date of the note.
The due date will be gotten by calculating the date that will make 120 days starting from April 9th. This will be:
April = 30 - 9 days = 21 days
May = 31 days
June = 30 days
July = 31 days
August = 7th day.
Therefore, August 7 is the due date
b. Determine the maturity value of the note.
Amount of interest on note = 96000 x 10% x 120/360
= 96000 × 0.1 × 1/3
= $3200
Then, Maturity Value will be:
=$96000 + $3200
= $99200
c. Journalize the entry to record the receipt of the payment of the note at maturity.
7th August:
Debit: Cash = $99200
Credit: Note receivable = $96000
Credit: Interest revenue = $3200
(Note receivable realized)

Second one is true because unsystematic risk is risk that will come with the type of stock or security purchased. It is usually referred to as diversifiable risk because using negatively correlated stocks can help diversify this risk.
Third one is True because the portfolio's risk when diversified is indeed likely to be smaller than the average of all stocks' standard deviation.
Fourth one is false because portfolio risk is <em>reduced</em> if stock that are negatively correlated are put into a portfolio because it means that when one stock is not doing so well, the other being negatively correlated, will be doing fine.
