Answer:
The answer is 9.00%
Explanation:
real risk-free rate = 3.00%
average expected future inflation rate = 5.90%
Maturity risk premium = 0.10%
The expected rate of return on a 1 year treasury security would be = the average expected future inflation rate + maturity risk premium + real risk-free rate.
= 3.00% + 5.90% + 0.10%
= 9.00%
Answer:
Total dollar Annual Cost = $300,000
Explanation:
- Total loan Commitment = 9000000
- Borrowed Fund (Used Portion) = 6000000
- Unused Portion (9000000 - 6000000) = 3000000
- Annual Commitment Fee for unused Portion = 0.50%
- Commitment Fee = 3000000 x 0.05% = 15000
- Borrowed Fund (Used Portion) = 6000000
- Interest Rate (3.25% + 1.5%) = 4.75%
- Interest Cost (6000000 x 4.75%) = 285000
Total dollar Annual Cost (15000 + 285000) = $300,000
Answer:
d. the supply curve of new houses would shift rightward, since builders would be willing to produce and sell more houses at each given price.
Place more oil on the market this year, shifting the curve rightward.
Explanation:
1. In the given scenario the government is willing to give home-construction companies $10,000 for every house that they build.
This will result in more willingness on the part of the construction companies to build more houses.
More houses built means more income coming in from the government.
Therefore the supply curve of home building will shift to the right.
2. When oil producers expect prices of oil to increase in the next year, there is a need to control oil prices by increasing availability of oil in the market.
Increase in price results from a scarcity of oil. So to mitigate this excess oil is supplied to control price increase.
This action will shift the curve rightward.
Answer:
$124,000 is the correct answer if we use 6% which is the correct question scenario. If we take 7% then its
Explanation:
The cash dividend announced is $160,000. Remember the first payment goes to preferred shareholders and then the amount left would be distributed among the ordinary shareholders.
The dividend share of Preferred shareholders = 6000 shares * $100 par value * 6% fixed rate = $36,000
After deducting this amount from the dividend announce will go to ordinary shareholders and is calculated as under:
Share of Dividend of ordinary shareholders = $160,000 - $36,000
= $124,000
Similarly if we use 7% fixed rate, then
The dividend share of Preferred shareholders = 6000 shares * $100 par value * 7% fixed rate = $42,000
After deducting this amount from the dividend announce will go to ordinary shareholders and is calculated as under:
Share of Dividend of ordinary shareholders = $160,000 - $42,000
= $124,000
Answer: A - nominal wages are slow to adjust to changing economic conditions
Explanation:
In the short run, the costs of many of the factors used in the production process are fixed. For example labours wage is fixed for a number of years because of labour contracts. Also the raw materials used in the production process have long term agreements that fix their prices.
As a result of factors of production been fixed in the short run, when general price level rises and the cost of production remains constant, profit also rises.
Firms take advantage of this rise in price and increase production and the quantity of aggregate supply increases. This is why the short run aggregate supply curve is upward sloping.
