According to the liquidity preference model, if the Federal Reserve increases the money supply, the equilibrium interest rate ________, and this leads to _________ in the quantity demanded of nonmonetary interest-bearing financial assets.
a) falls; an increase.b) falls; a decrease.c) rises; an increase.d) rises; a decrease.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

b) falls; a decrease

Explanation:

According to the liquidity preference model, if the Federal Reserve increases the money supply, the equilibrium interest rate falls and this leads to a decrease in the quantity demanded of non-monetary interest-bearing financial assets.

Liquidity preference model which is also the Keynesian theory of money demand, says that people need money for three major objective transaction motive, precautionary motive, and speculative motive.  The increase in money supply decreases interest rate and increases the quantity of money demanded and the decreases the quantity demanded of non-monetary interest-bearing financial assets.

Suppose payments were made at the end of each month into an ordinary annuity earning interest at the rate of 4.5%/year compounded monthly. If the future value of the annuity after 11 years is $55,000, what was the size of each payment?

Answers

Answer:

The size of each payment was $322.78.

Explanation:

This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:

FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (1)

Where,

FV = Future value of the amount after 11 years = $55,000

M = Monthly payment = ?

r = Monthly interest rate = 4.5% / 12 = 0.045 / 12 = 0.00375

n = number of months = 11 years * 12 = 132

Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for M, we have:

$55,000 = M * (((1 + 0.00375)^132 - 1) / 0.00375)

$55,000 = M * 170.394706737074

M = $55,000 / 170.394706737074

M = $322.779979808101

Rounding to 2 decimal places, we have:

M = $322.78

Therefore, the size of each payment was $322.78.

Answers

Answer:

Hulkster's 2021 profit margin is:

17.1%.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                                   2021          2020

Accounts receivable              $40,000     $36,000

Merchandise inventory         $28,000       35,000

Net sales                                190,000      186,000

Cost of goods sold                 114,000      108,000

Total assets                          425,000     405,000

Total shareholders' equity  240,000     225,000

Net income                            32,500        28,000

Profit margin = net income/net sales * 100

= $32,500/$190,000 * 100

= 17.1%

b) The profit margin of 17.1% indicates that Hulkster Company has generated an income of 17.1 cents for each dollar of sales.  It shows the company's income performance with relation to the net sales revenue.  It is a ratio of the net income expressed as a percentage of the sales.

A perpetual bond with a par value of $1,000 and a coupon rate of 7.75% has a current market price of $900. What is its yield to maturity

a. 9.32%
b. 8.33%
c. 7.92%
d. 9.45%
e. 8.61%

Answers

Answer: e. 8.61%

Explanation:

This is a perpetual bond so the price is calculable by;

Price = Coupon / Yield to Maturity

Coupon = 7.75% * 1,000

= $77.50

900 = 77.50/ YTM

900 * YTM = 77.50

YTM = 77.50/900

= 8.61%

Biogenetics, Inc. plans to retain and reinvest all of their earnings for the next 30 years. Beginning in year 31, the firm will begin to pay a $30 per share dividend. The dividend will not subsequently change. Given a required return of 18%, what should the stock sell for today?

Answers

Answer:

the stock sell for today is $1.16

Explanation:

The calculation of the stock sell for today is as follows;

Value after year 31 is

= (D31 ÷ Required return)

= $30 ÷ 0.18

= $166.666667

Now the current value is  

= Future dividend and value × Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time period)

= $30 ÷ 1.18^31 + $166.666667 ÷ 1.18^31

= $1.16

Hence, the stock sell for today is $1.16

Explain the actions the FED should take if it wanted to move from a point on the short-run Phillips curve representing high unemployment and low inflation to a point representing lower unemployment and higher inflation.

Answers

Answer:

The short run Phillips curve states that there is an inverse relationship between unemployment and inflation in the short run.

Since unemployment is high and the inflation rate is low, in order for the FED to decrease unemployment and increase inflation it must decrease the interest rate. That way, the economy should kick off and start growing which should decrease unemployment and at the same time will increase inflation.

A stock is currently selling for $79 per share. A call option with an exercise price of $83 sells for $3.95 and expires in three months. If the risk-free rate of interest is 2.8 percent per year, compounded continuously, what is the price of a put option with the same exercise price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer: $7.37

Explanation:

The price of a put option with the same exercise price would be calculated as:

C + Xe^-rt = P + S

It should be noted that in the formula above,

P = Put option price

C = price of call option

S = stock price

X = exercise price

r = interest rate

t = time

We then slot in the values which will be:

= 3.95 + 83e^-2.8% × 3/12 = P + 79

P = 3.95 + 83e^-2.8% × 3/12 - 79

P = 3.95 + 82.42 -79

= $7.37

Assume a company has two divisions, A and B. The company’s overall sales, overall contribution margin ratio, common fixed expenses, and net operating income are $500,000, 48%, $50,000, and $10,000, respectively. Division A has a contribution margin of $180,000. If Division B has traceable fixed expenses of $80,000, then what is Division A’s segment margin? Multiple Choice $80,000 $40,000 $20,000 $60,000

Answers

Answer:

$60,000

Explanation:

total sales A + B = $500,000

variable expenses = $260,000

combined contribution margin = $240,000

contribution margin A = $180,000

contribution margin B = $60,000

combined segment margins = $60,000 (= -$20,000 + $80,000)

segment margin B = -$20,000

segment margin A = $80,000

common fixed expenses = $50,000

net income = $10,000

The margin available after a segment has covered all of its costs is known as segment margin. The segment profit margin is $60,000 per segment. As a result, option (d) or (iv) is the proper response.

How do you compute segment margin?

[tex]\text{total sales A + B} = $500,000\\\text{Variable expenses} = $260,000\\\text{Combined contribution margin} = $240,000\\\text{Contribution margin A} = $180,000\\\text{contribution margin B} = $60,000\\\text{combined segment margins} = $60,000 (= -$20,000 + $80,000)\\\text{segment margin B} = -$20,000\\\text{segment margin A} = $80,000\\\text{common fixed expenses} = $50,000\\\text{net income}= $10,000[/tex]

Many people's wealth is held in stocks and as the price of stocks collapsed, they lost wealth.

Imagine that this happened to you. One day you are rich and that affects your spending habits. In a matter of few days or weeks, you lose a large portion of your wealth. So now, you are less rich or even poor. So your spending habits will be altered, i.e. you will spend less.

If you consider the economy as a whole, aggregate demand will fall, resulting in a decrease of aggregate supply, and an overall decrease of the GDP.

There are 520 bonds outstanding that have a coupon rate of 5.5 percent paid semiannually. The bonds mature in 17 years, have a face value of $1,000, and sell at 93 percent of par. What is the capital structure weight of the common stock?

Answers

Answer:

26.43 %

Explanation:

The Capital Structure is based on  the Market Weight of the Sources of Finance as shown below :

Equity market value = Number of shares × price/share

Equity market value  = 10,200 ×  $36

Equity market value = $367,200

Current debt value = Number of bonds × price/bond

Current debt value = 520 × (1930)

Current debt value = $1,003,600

Preferred stock value = Number of shares × price/share

Preferred stock value = 215 ×  $87

Preferred stock value = $18,705

Total capital = Common equity value + Debt value + Preferred stock value

Total capital = $367,200 + $1,003,600 + $18,705

Total capital = $1,389,505

Weight of Equity = Equity value / Total capital

Weight of Equity  = $367,200 / $1,389,505

Weight of Equity = 26.43 %

Attack of the DragonsAttack of the DragonsIf the Viking raids from the north and the Briton raids from the south werent bad enough, now we have a new challenge to our castle walls: dragons.Here in Northumberland, summers are full of war. We are used to fighting in the summer. Thats when the lands to our north thaw enough for the Vikings to venture south to our lands hoping to steal our livestock and crops. Our walls, however, protect our farms. As the Norsemen try to come ashore, we fight them back with ease. Our arrows, bolts, and rock are more than enough to fend them off as they attempt to land on our beaches. They may not have what is ours, and soon they turn toward other coasts and other forts as ours are too strong for them.Then come the Britons from the south. The Britons claim to this land is admittedly greater than ours. They were here before the Romans and will probably outlast our Saxon rule, but that does not matter today. Today this land belongs to Ida the Saxon king, and we will hold it for him and his heirs. Their numbers cannot stand against our fortifications. Our steel is superior to theirs, as our swords and spears cut through their armor with ease. We have the higher ground, for Bamburg stands on a dolerite outcrop. Not only do we use the rock as our foundation, we have cut into the earth and used it to build our walls, and we launch our rocks toward our enemy as they attempt to storm the hill. With these rocks and our arrows and bolts, we cut half their army down before they even reach our battlements. Their spirit weakens as their forces are cut down, as we easily strike down those foolish enough not to break ranks and run. No man can defeat us once we lock ourselves behind these walls. We have plenty of land and cattle here. We can outlast any siege. Thanks to Lord Ida of Bernecia, we are protected.Lord Ida had us build this stronghold high above the shore, and we are invincible from attacks by land and sea, but now we must deal with airborne enemies as well.The dragons have come out of the East somewhere and bring with them fire. They attack when the sun is high. They know our bows and crossbows are worthless against them, as our arrows and bolts bounce off their thick hide. They swoop down and take our sheep in their claws and maws, returning to whereever they came from before dusk with a fifth of our provisions. The fire drives our bravest men inside as we cower with the women and children, hoping to avoid the death that the dragons bring.Aston, the ironsmith, and his fisherman brother, Aethel, claim to have a solution. They have combined their tools and designed a contraption that might bring the winged monsters out of the sky. Fishing nets with iron barbs launched from paired ballistae. The ballista is a giant crossbow left from the Roman invasions. The contraptions take three men to crank, and aiming the ballistae pairs has proven difficult, but we hope to fight when they return tomorrow.Nets are weighted down with iron spikes. As we launch the projectiles at the dragons, we hope to drop them into the sea, or at least pin them to the ground where our swords and spears can do harm. Aethel believes that dragons falling into the water will surely drown, and Aston believes that we should attack the wings of the grounded dragons so that they cannot escape our mighty warriors. But that lesson is for tomorrow when the dragons return at high noon. Tonight we plan our attack and hope our weapons prove their design.Based on the information found in the passage, which invaders attack the Saxons by land?A the VikingsB the dragonsC the BritonsD the Romans Which organelle captures sunlight and helps in food synthesis?
