The year is 2040 in the United States. The interest rate on a one-year bond 2040 = 2% . The annual interest rate on a two-year bond is jm=2 2040 =2%. The annual interest rate on a three- year bond is 24 = 4%. According to the 22040 expectations hypothesis, what is the market expecting the one-year rate will be in the year 2042? That is, what is the value for 2042 ?

Suppose that Intel is considering building a new chip-making factory. Assume that Intel needs to borrow money in the bond market. It is less likely for Intel to build the new factory if interest rates True or False: If Intel has enough of its own funds to build the new factory without borrowing, an increase in interest rates would not affect Intel's decision about whether to build the factory. True False
Suppose that the market interest rate in an economy is 9 percent and a bond promises to pay $735 after one year, $858 two years from now, and finally $1410 three years from now. The equilibrium market price of this bond $2485.25. (Round your response to two decimal places.) If this bond were to sell for $1988 in the market, then it is profitable to buy this bond from investors' perspectives. not to buy
After the global financial crisis, there has been a heated debate about whether the sluggish recovery in advanced economies reflects the secular stagnation or a slowing trend under debt overhang. Advocates of secular stagnation argue that tepid investment spending along with subdued consumption by households would result in persistent output gap and slow growth for many years to come. Also, the resulting excess of global savings over global investment in turn would put the real interest rate on a downward path. There are several explanations for this secular stagnation hypothesis. Which of the following cannot be viewed as such explanation?a. Decline in investment rates due to a dearth of profitable investment opportunitiesb. Decline in the relative price of investment goods – hence the same investment projects can be pursued by committing a smaller share of GDP, which results in a lower amount of investment in total.c. Decline in population growth rate means capital has less…
Is the statement below true, false or uncertain? Explain your answer. Note: Include a diagram as part of your answer. "Asha is a borrower when the interest rate is 10% and a saver when the interest rate is 20%. A decrease in the interest rate from 20% to 10% may make Asha worse off. Assume the price of the good in each period is $1."
the equilibrium real interest rate in some country is quite low. What could be three possible explanations for this situation?
Economists in Funlandia, which has a closed economy, have collected the following information about the economy for a particular year: YY = = 10,00010,000 CC = = 6,0006,000 TT = = 1,5001,500 GG = = 1,7001,700 The economists also estimate that the investment function is: II = = 3,300−100r3,300−100r where rr is the country’s real interest rate, expressed as a percentage. Complete the following table by calculating private saving, public saving, national saving, investment, and the equilibrium real interest rate.

Suppose the current annual interest rate on a one-year government bond is 8% and the expected annual interest rate on a one-year bond one year from now is 8.5%, and a one- year bond two years from now is 9%. Based on this information, the current annual interest rate on a three-year government bond is approximately, A. 8.0% B. 9.0% 8.5% D. 8.2% 10% ABCDE C. E.
Activities in financial markets have direct effects on individual wealth, the behavior of business, and the efficiency of the economy. Three financial markets deserve particular attention: the bond market, the stock market, and the foreign exchange market. Can you explain how each one of these markets affects people's wealth, business behavior, and efficiency of the economy? Be specific about the relationship between these markets and their impact on the above-mentioned variables.
would bonds still be a good option for investment if interest rates are negative?
Let's say that due to political turmoil in the US and abroad, people all over the world start to lose confidence in American securities. Both Americans and foreigners prefer to do their financial investment elsewhere. As a result, we'd expect the supply of loanable funds to shift to the right and the real interest rate to fall the supply of loanable funds to shift to the left and the real interest rate to rise the supply of bonds to shift to the right and the real interest rate to fall the supply of bonds to shift to the left and the real interest rate to rise
In describing how changes in income influence the supply of loans, we assumed that the increase in income occurs this year. Suppose instead that the increase in income will occur next year even though everyone in the economy knew it would happen today. How would the news of a future increase in income influence the current loan supply curve?
