Imagine that you see an advertisement for Crazy Judy's Stereo City that reads something like this: "$1,500 Instant Credit! 18.4% Simple Interest! Three Years to Pay! Low, Low Monthly Payments!" You're not exactly sure what all this means and somebody has spilled ink over the APR on the loan contract, so you ask the manager for clarification.arrow_forwardaa.4arrow_forward

Assuming70 percent of sales are on credit, what is the company’s days’ sales in receivables?arrow_forward5 The Financial Sector - End of Chapter Problem a. How does maturity transformation impact long-term investment spending? Maturity transformation decreases long-term investment by limiting the use of short-term deposits to short-term loans only. increases long-term investment by making it possible to extend long-term loans even when no savers are willing to make a long-term loan. increases long-term investment by convincing savers to promise they will not withdraw their money for the length of the loan. increases long-term investment by having investors take out a series of short-term loans successively, repaying each previous loan, until the long-term project is completed.arrow_forwardQUESTION TWO a. Briefly evaluate the factors that may prevent the purchasing power parity from holding in real economies. b. Assume the following information: £ Spot rate = C5.20/€ 12-month forward rate = C6.00/£ C Interest rate = 26% per annum U.K. interest rate = 2% per annum i. Given the information above, does interest rate parity hold? What should be the 12- month forward rate, if interest rate parity holds? ii. How can an investor profit from this anomaly if she can easily borrow the equivalent of £1 million in either pounds or cedis to invest? How much profit can she make?arrow_forward
- Item 22 of 25 Which of the following statements is most correct? Select the correct response: Flexibility is an advantage of short-term credit but this is somewhat offset by the higher flotation costs associated with the need to repeatedly renew short-term credit. short-term loan can usually be obtained more quickly than a long-term loan but the penalty for early repayment of a short-term loan is significantly higher than for a long-term loan. Short-term debt is often less costly than long-term debt and the major reason for this is that short-term debt exposes the borrowing firm to much less risk than long-term debt. Statements about the flexibility, cost, and riskiness of short-term versus long-term credit are dependent on the type of credit that is actually used.arrow_forwardProblem 2: Monetary Theory [13 Points] Suppose that an economy begins in long-run equilibrium. Suppose also that there is an increase in Aggregate Demand (AD) as a result of an increase in Net Exports (NX). 9. Does the economy enter an inflationary gap or a recessionary gap? Explain your answer using an AD-AS figure. [2 points] 10. What happen to Money Demand as a result of this shift in the AD-AS model. Does this create a surplus or shortage in the Money Market? Does this create a surplus or a shortage in the bond market? Explain your answer using a MD-MS figure. [3 points] 11. If the Central Bank wants to prevent further inflation, what action could it take? What does it need to do with the Money Supply (MS) to maintain equilibrium in the money market? Explain your answer using both an AD-AS figure and a MD-MS figure. [3 points] 12. If the Central Bank knew that there would be a lag between their decision and their effect on AD, how would this change your answer to Q11 (if at all)?…arrow_forward6. The multiplier effect Consider a hypothetical economy where there are no taxes and no foreign trade, and households spend $0.75 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remaining $0.25. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) for this economy is 0.75 ; the marginal propensity to save (MPS) for this economy is 0.25 ; and the multiplier for this economy is 4 Suppose investment spending in this economy increases by $100 billion. The increase in investment will lead to an increase in income, generating an increase in consumption that increases income yet again, and so on. Fill in the following table to show the impact of the change in investment spending on the first two rounds of consumption spending and, eventually, on total output and income. Hint: Be sure to enter a negative sign in front of the number if there is a decrease in consumption. Change in Investment Spending = $100 billion First Change in Consumption = billion Second Change in Consumption = 24 billion Total…arrow_forward
