Expert Solution & Answer
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Concept name: Recession
Recession basically refers to a phase in which the country’s growth tends to decline drastically.
Recession is generally for short term. The GDP starts to fall, aligned with production decline and low consumption
Answer to Problem 1DQ
The recession of 2007-2009 was the most profound and the longest recession of all times. It continued for 18 months, which was almost twice as long as that of the previous recession of 1930 (9.5 months).
Explanation of Solution
The U.S economy faced a recession for approx. 18 months from 2007-2009. It is recorded to be the longest and the most profound recession till now. The recession is divided into two phases. The first phase began from December 2007 and ended in the first half of 2008; in this particular phase, the recession was not deep and did not affect the GDP (Gross domestic product). The recession started to deepen from September 2008 to March 2009.
The economy continued to decline slightly in mid-2009, before the expansion. This recession featured the highest decline in production, consumption by the consumers and investment and increase in unemployment.
One unique characteristic of this recession was that it was severely affected by the financial market.
U.S. financial conditions started to decline in August 2007 and became even worse in 2008.

As an investor looking for protection against inflation, you are considering the purchase of inflation-adjusted bonds known as U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS). With these securities, the face value (which is paid at maturity) and the bond interest rate (which is paid semiannually) is regularly adjusted to account for inflation. However, for this problem only, assume the semi-annual interest payment (called the bond dividend) remains the same. You purchased a 10-year $10,000 TIPS bond with dividend of 4% per year payable semiannually (i.e., $200 every 6 months). Assume there is no inflation adjustment for the first 5 years, but in years 6 through 10, the bond face value increases by $850 each year.
