**Transcript for Educational Website**---**Impact of Federal Reserve Announcements on Interest Rates and the IS Curve**After the press conference that followed the Federal Open Market Committee meeting on June 19, 2013, there were reports in the media that Chairman Bernanke’s comments were a signal that the Fed would raise interest rates sooner than expected. As a result, the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasury notes rose to almost 2.6%, the highest level since August 2011.**Discussion Question:**a) Comment on how this would affect the IS curve.**Explanation:**The IS curve represents the relationship between interest rates and the level of output that equates the goods market. An anticipated rise in interest rates suggests a leftward shift of the IS curve as higher rates would lead to lower investment and potentially reduced consumer spending, resulting in a lower level of equilibrium output.

Introduction The IS curve shows combinations of the interest rates and level of output such that…

Squeezed at home by razor-thin margins and negative interest rates, Japanese banks have more than doubled borrowing and lending in dollars since 2017. Why is this practice risky? Japanese banks are exposed to liquidity risks due to difficulty in pulling funds out of foreign countries in a short time period. Japanese banks are exposed to interest rate risks due to uncontrollable rate changes outside the jurisdiction of Japanese central bank. Japanese banks are exposed to default risks due to lending to foreign borrowers. Japanese banks are exposed to exchange rate risks due to mismatched assets and liabilities in different currencies.
Below you will find the Demand and Supply Curves for $250,000 bonds that mature in 18 years: Qd = 400,000 – 2(P) Qs = 3(P) – 100,000 If the Fed wants to move the interest rate to 5%, what would the bond price have to change to in order to achieve this?
Suppose a bank faces a gap of -20 between its interest-sensitive assets and its interest-sensitive liabilities. What would happen to bank profits if interest rates were to fall by one percentage point? You should report your answers in terms of the change in profit per $100 in assets.
Suppose that in 1980, the U.S. inflation rate was 14 percent and the unemployment rate reached 7.6 percent. Suppose that the target rate of inflation was 3 percent back then and the full-employment rate of unemployment was 6 percent at that time. What value does the Taylor Rule predict for the Fed's target interest rate? Instructions: Enter your answer rounded to 2 decimal places. 18.95 percent
Suppose the Federal Reserve (the Fed) announces that it is lowering its target interest rate by 75 basis points, or 0.75%. It would achieve this by ______the ________. Use the green line (triangle symbols) on the preceding graph to illustrate the effects of this policy. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the new equilibrium interest rate and quantity of money. The sequence of events that results in a new equilibrium interest rate, after the Fed makes the change you selected, may be described as follows: Because there is__________money in the financial system, there is an excess _________ money at the initial equilibrium interest rate. Individuals and businesses adjust their asset portfolios by _______bonds. As a result, the price of bonds_________ , and the interest rate______ . This process continues until the new equilibrium interest rate is achieved.

[Related to Solved Problem 5.26] Use the data on Treasury securities in the following table to answer the question: 2 year Date 03/05/2010 1 year 0.36% 0.88% 3 year 1.49% Source: U.S. Department of the Treasury. Assuming that the liquidity premium theory is correct, on March 5, 2010, what did investors expect the interest rate to be on the one-year Treasury bill two years from that date if the term premium on a two-year Treasury note was 0.05% and the term premium on a three-year Treasury note was 0.06%? The expected interest rate is%. (Round your response to two decimal places.)
